unlike the Americans who just drink flavoured water

Or beer that is hopped to up to crazy levels without any consideration for things like flavor balance and finesse.

Try stuff like that and tell me its hopped up to crazy levels. As with everything in the US, location matters. Where I'm at in Minnesota, and being by Wisconsin, there are a metric ton of local breweries that put out lots of beers that you cannot buy more than a few states away. These breweries also pump out some of the best beers you can have.

If you're going to compare like to like, stop using crap like Budweiser and the other commercial stuff.

You can always opt to drink only Mexican beers there. Last time I was in the US, some of these beers were up to the level of European beer quality, some better, some worse, but in the same league.

Even in Europe, not every beer is good. There is a term "Eurobeer", and it is an insult, usually targeted at Heineken or SABMiller products (or beers from other breweries with similar quality).

Having better beer than Eurobeers is no problem then. Good beers, on the other hand, are really good.

Fair point. I considered only good European beers and good Mexican beers, not some products with high marketing and low quality. Unfortunately, when I was in US I didn't have a luck to try good US beer, and moved on to Mexican beers as soon as I discovered them.

Well, the big brand beers lik Bud and Coors are rubbish, but you can find more unique wheat beers and local beers in most supermarkets, I've found.
