It is what you expect to get when a tennis organisation decides to make beer.If you mean industrial bland watery beer made from the cheapest materials then yes.
Stella is the stuff you take to a party because it's on special offer.
Well then, how about a Samuel Adams Summer Ale for a long shot second place? Or are you folks down there all hostages of Annhauser Busch, Miller, Coors, and similar forms of panther piss? I find it amusing that the same folks who would brand my Gold Wing a "rice burner" and "un-American" choose to drink beer fermented primarily from rice instead of barley by companies that sport red white and blue labels, but are foreign owned.
Well then, I guess you can paint us "microbrew snobs". I often visit "exotic beer boutiques" for a little variety, and have never seen any of those you mention. In fact almost nothing from south of Mason-Dixon is to be found. Even Shiner, which used to be frequently available, but since 2017, gone, gone, gone.Oh, we've got a healthy microbrew community down here, both locally and the state as a whole. We really don't need imports, with companies like Real Ale Brewing Co, 903 Brewing, Twisted X, and so on.

What, no Pabst Blue Ribbon?
Ever wonder why there are such similarities flavorwise between pseudo-pilsener light lagers worldwide? Most folks I know can't tell the difference in a blind test between Dos Equis, Tsingtao, Corona, Kirin, Carlsberg, Heineken, Harp, and a host of others. Most can recognize genuine Urquel, however, due to the distinctive flavor of Czech Sasz hops.Living here in Tejas, one beer I miss is Steinlager, a New Zealand lager that would make a fantastic summer beer here.

In the early/mid 19th century the Lager revolution overwhelmed Europe, pushing traditional ales aside and dominating the market. Many of the more innovative German breweries that jumped on this new phenomenon were Jewish family businesses, whose sudden prosperity triggered the latent anti-semitism that lurked below the surface in much of Europe. This led to a bit of an exodus and a diaspora of German lager brewers setting up in business and creating global demand for this cool new product.
This required a lot of innovation, as the climates and soils around the world weren't necessarily friendly to the traditional varieties of hops they brought with them, and their traditional barley varieties didn't prosper everywhere either. Yet persevere they did, and eventually achieved the near uniformity of flavor we see today.
Gee, I tink I twa uh gwowndhaug!
Having worked in China and Japan Kirin and Tsingtao were set up in the colonial era, Tsingtao was a German trading post and Kirin, like other Japanese beers were set up by importing German beer ideas and changing them. Japan is incredibly humid, you feel thirsty all the time so what you like to drink and eat reflects that. I obviously ate Japanese food and drank Japanese beer in Japan, I have done the same in London and Paris working for Japanese companies some were very high end restaurants, it just isnt the same because the climate and ambiance isnt, my colleagues said the same.Ever wonder why there are such similarities flavorwise between pseudo-pilsener light lagers worldwide?

Fortunately, I can get Pilsner Urquel locally.
You just can't beat Sasz hops from the Pilsen area. Add just a touch of Hallertauer and the possibilities are endless. It seems nowhere else in the world can grow that particular flavor combination.From what I understand, both Zagorka and Kamonitsa recipes came from Czech brewmasters in Plzen, which explains why they're so dang good.
I whole-heartedly agree.You just can't beat Sasz hops from the Pilsen area. Add just a touch of Hallertauer and the possibilities are endless. It seems nowhere else in the world can grow that particular flavor combination.
I'm not a great fan of the Belgian "capture wild yeast" brewing technique. Personal taste, but the flavors just didn't turn me on.You guys need to go to Belgium. Cz pils is good, but there are better ones.
