I usually assume when Europeans complain about American beers, they just are complaining about our "domestic" beers like Bud Light, Coors, PBR, etc. which makes sense, they are our bottom shelf beers.

I recently chatted with someone at a party who said "no, all American beers are bad" including microbrewery beers.

I've never been to Europe so I wouldn't know, but I do like my Left Handed Milk Stout, NWPAs, and hell even the hipstered out IPAs.

Are these what y'all are referencing?

One of these days I hope to find out. Several times Ive had internal conversations debating whether it’s reasonable to organize a trip around beer

Had a short conversation on reddit with a guy from Chile (South America at least) that regularly had a German brewery ship him a crate of beer. Maybe you could do that for special occasions, pretty sure quite a few breweries would accommodate you with such a request. If you care, I'll list some of my all-time favourites:

Störtebeker (basically all of their offers, not much of a Porter/Schwarzbier (stout) fan myself though, so I don't drink those)

Lammsbräu (especially the Urtyp)

Tannenzäpfle Rothaus

Andechser Klosterbräu (especially the Helles)

Tegernseer Helles

Reading through the first one I see a partnership with Olde Mecklenburg, what do you think: https://www.ombbeer.com/location-overview/

… just a bit over 13 hours drive

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 2 points 16 hours ago

Sounds like beer I'd try, though I was a bit surprised to see a beergarden. Mecklenburg, as in the former duchy and now part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western-Pommerania is distinctly northern German with influences from Eastern German and the culture of the former GDR. None of those being Biergarten-Kultur which is distinctly Bavarian- also a 10h drive from Mecklenburg.

But hey keep the coops coming, everyone can only improve

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Thanks. I’ll take a look

Most trips are organised around arbitrary goals, why not beer? People want to try pizza in Italy, or see the northern lights, or swim with dolphins - all geologically locked, ultimately frivolous goals. But if it brings you joy and you can afford it, why not?

I took one of those once. I think at least. I can’t actually remember…
