It seems like it’s just become almost a figure of speech without any meaning these days. The amount of Irish guys I know who will talk about American beer being piss that will then clock out for the day and post up in the pub to suck down Coors Light all night is unreal.

Comment was not about what is, but what the rest of the world thinks it to be.
And that is not fancy West Coast craft beer or so, but Bud Light and Coors, I am afraid…

Don’t all countries have mass produced shitty light lagers or pilsners that don’t taste like much? As far as I know all European countries have giant corporations producing shitty beer. The ones I’ve had personally include Amstel, Kronenbourg, Bitburger, Stella, Urquell, etc, and they’re all universally one note with a light taste on the same level as Budweiser.
I wasn’t around to be drinking back when the “US beer is pisswater” stereotype was around, so I’m not sure why the US got singled out. Maybe the Bud and Coors types were all there was so there were no smaller brands to point to as a sign of quality. But if that stereotype is still around it’s from people who’ve been living under a rock for literal decades.
