I’ve had good beer and crappy beer in Germany: the same as the USA.

Turns out the idea that “small breweries generally make good beer, and industrial breweries make garbage” tends to be true worldwide.

We make plenty of good bread and some of the best beer in the world. We just also make some of the worst of both. Big country, tons of room in the market. (We also have excellent wine, chocolate, cheese, whatever you want. It’s just not necessarily at your local supermarket.)

What Americans call Democracy also doesn’t qualify
