You can write on a postage stamp what the americans know about beer.
They produce such ridiculous beers that it just doesn't bare thinking about. The current trend is to cram as much hops in there as is possible rendering the beer undrinkable.
That said there are a few quality ones but not many.

Nest o es I have tried are ....

Stevens point lager (craft brewed)
Pale moon ale
Sierra nevada pale ale

I haven't tried the stout you mention ted, but I will look out for it [emoji3]


Btw anyone who drinks coors or budweiser should be aware that the barley they use is gmo. ......

 

[Toxic Ted]

This is the only one i have ever liked from over there......as you say, they are very limited when it comes to brewing, but there is always the odd surprise.

Reinforces my opinion of yank beers and that's why I won't try them.

Anyone who drinks Coors or Budweiser doesn't care WHAT they're drinking. That swill should not be allowed to be called beer.

Your brewing looks mighty scientific KJ. I've always fancied having a go but worry about ending up with something undrinkable.

I really must sort my shed out and start brewing in it like I originally wanted to.

Busweiser is urine. Over in Canada I drank Molson Canadian and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Best of a bad bunch.

 

[kay-jay]

Its not as hard as it seems mas. As long as you follow the steps and dont cut corners it will turn out fine.
You can build a 40 pint brewery for less than a hundred quid.

I have to be honest... I didn't mind a bottle of Labatts Ice....

 

[SimonG]

Labatts blue was the big one when I was out there. Not good.

I know i could've posted on the kodi thread dead easy but this is a good thread and i thought i would resurrect it.
Kev i have a shed load of rhubbarb growing in my back garden i love the stuff so you have a recipe for it something sweetish ideal for a BBQ.

i was thinking rhubbarb, sugar, yeast, lemon i would add strawberries aswell but they arent even close to being ready.

any thoughts ohh great master brewer.

BTW it took me twenty minutes before i realised to use the advanced search function for threads and found it in 30 seconds LOL

 

[kay-jay]

You can make a cracking rhubarb wine.
You will need to visit a homebrew shop online or otherwise as you will need sodium metabisulphate (campden tablets) to stop the fermentation process.
You will need to add a goodly amount of sugar to make it palatable and without the campden ut will all turn to alcohol. Leaving a very strong undrinkable bitter swill.

Im sure i have a recipe somewhere. I will try and dig it out for you pal
