Absolutely not, I didn't even try to make it seem so. There are many fine Amercian microbrews that can match the fine trappist elixirs from Belgium/Luxembourg/France, but they cost as much as Chimay. Thats why I have resorted to making my own ales in the trappist traditions (well sort of, I don't have oak casks and all that :)), that way i get top quality brew at Anheiser prices (or less).

Still to find an American beer that can rival any European ones in terms of strength. Don't mention imports, even they are weaker that their Europpean counterparts.

The reason we export Fosters is because no one here will drink it.

Not all Aussie beer is Fosters.

It was a joke btw, ya moron.

Why is it that these beer discussions always revert to alcohol strength?  It ain't all about the alcohol.  I mean sure when you are in high school maybe that matters, but I have come to appreciate the finer points of beer consumption and production.  I enjoy the spiciness of the hops and the way it balances with the sweetness of the malt.  I guess once you grow up and realize that drinking isn't all about getting smashed all the time then you can truly appreciate beer and the folks that make it a labor of love to produce fine micro-brewed beer here in the states.

Um, Considering Funked was listing possibly the worst tasting examples of piss poor alcohol, I'm pretty sure the three of us are on the same page (not that that has stopped me from drinking any of the above mentioned swills lol).

Neither do I; That's simpy too good to be an American beer...
To have a nice, easy evening all you need a couple bottles of Chimay, one large glass (like cognag glass but bigger) and one small "shot" glass for yeast  :)

As have I....but I have since graduated past the BudMillerCoors crap that most foreigners consider as the only examples of "American beer."  

My comments were more directed at the Canadians who assume that since their beer has more alcohol that it is inherently better than stuff produced in the USA.  News flash for ya....American beer isnt all BudMillerCoors crap.  That is just mass produced swill to please the masses.  I prefer my beer with more taste and complexity not necessarily high alcohol levels.  I made a really nice mild ale once that you could die for....it only had about 3.8% alcohol but it was 10 times more flavorful than BudMillerCoors crap.
