    Every brewery I’ve ever been to has had a variety of styles and often their flagship brew isn’t even an xPA.

    Also the typical brewing range for beer is between 40-70 degrees Freedom. There’s a lot of heat in that as far as atoms are concerned.

      and yet you flood every market and memesphere with shitty IPAs/APAs. It’s a joke friend, just take your fucking lumps and don’t um actually the place. I’m sure you have 3 good beers in a brewery that sells 30 types of beer, meanwhile other countries have less brewereies making fewer variants of beer, but most of them are good and different kinds of bere.

        That’s probably because most European countries have deep cultural and culinary roots in their modern beers.

        America being a relative newcomer country of immigrants, we as a country have very few cultural or culinary roots of our own. So we borrow, and innovate, and ultimately have to appeal to a very large variety of individuals who have their own preferences, inspired by their own cultures.

          wow, that’s a great point, how old is your country? 250 years? And you say it’s made mostly of people who claim to have heritage from british isles and germany, places famous for brewing beer?

          Wow, it’s incredible that none of those people that stole the land from the natives didn’t know how to properly brew beer, and in 250 years you didn’t manage to develop a respectable beer culture.

          But you know, cut throat capitalism and being the world leader of motion picture and music propaganda, you got in one. Bravo.

          EDIT : also, LEARN TO BREW TEA AND COFFEE WITHOUT A MICROWAVE YOU SAVAGES.

            Who the hell is brewing coffee in the microwave? Maybe boiling water for instant…but even people who drink instant know that that’s not coffee.

            I use an electric kettle like most of the civilized world. And I cold brew my coffee.

            But even aside from that…the varieties that you see around Europe are closely correlated to the types of grains and hops and in some cases wild yeast that was available to them. We brought most of that over with us and grew it here. Native crops just don’t offer much. Nobodies drinking corn wine.

            Also, distilled spirits are the far more interesting fight. We do that pretty damn good, and a lot of that spawned out of a few short years of prohibition. Or talk to us about cider and peach wine.

                Op is heating up, not brewing.

                Some people reheat old coffee. It’s a choice, usually born out of frugality and time constraints (brew a pot, store it, reheat later).

                I disagree with it, but also I don’t really like hot coffee. And the people who drink that hot mud are usually the types that like it with a ton of cream and sugar. Like my first boss. Who would get a medium dunks iced 6/6 or 8/8 if she was feeling indulgent. Thats basically just ice cream that saw coffee brewing on the other side of the room at that point.

                Some people also buy cold brew premade coffee and heat that if they want a hot cup. IMO that’s a bit smoother taste (reheated hot brew is just downright gross), but it loses points in frugality. Still cheaper than drive-thrus, and more convenient than actually brewing a pot.

                Man I thought Americans had anger issues.
