There are probably hundreds of small breweries in America that if you sat at their bar, and drank the fresh brews right from the cask...
Well, let's just say there are quality beers all over the world. Traditional styles that could't be found anywhere else are now being replicated, and being replicated WELL. That's my point.

It's an interesting question.
Frankly I think American Craft Brew has probably the widest variety of high quality beers anywhere in the world.
Belgium has many world renowned beers, as well as a very unique style. However most people in Belgium are still drinking Stella and other "so called" Belgian beers made by InBev.
Germany has probably the worlds best lager. Due to the Reinheitsgebot, German brewers are incapable of making bad lagers such as the shitty mas produced American ones. If you buy a German lager you are almost guaranteed that it will be of very high quality.
Many traditional beer styles from the UK are also excellent, and without them we probably wouldn't have I.P.A, Stout, or Pale Ales. Although more English beer drinkers are drinking shitty mass market lager these days.
Probably the worst beer in the world is shitty mass market lager made by InBev, Molson/Coors, Miller, Etc.
My favorite beer is my home made stuff. You can't go wrong at $6-10 a case for homemade all malt beer.

As far as taste and variation goes the US wins this one by far.
Sure the British, Germans, Belgians, Dutch; etc had great beer long before we did but nothing Ive ever had from any of those countries can touch a dank micro brew.(sierra nevada is NOT a microbrew IMO). I love a trappist ale. I love a German/Dutch lager. I love a British IPA. While US lagers suck compared to their lagers somehow we have better IPAs.
As far as who has the best mass produced "national beer" Id say either NZ or CZ. As far as who has the most amazing kickass beers; US by far.

American Microbrews????? Are all those posts sponsored by Hot tub Time Machine?? The micro brew craze came and went back in the late 90s - there were even a couple of microbrew companies that went public. Thank god thats over. Been over for a long while. I live in Oregon and even the microbrewers themselves (those that are left) mock microbrews.

I think the answer here is high quality beer production is concentrated in both western europe and n. america, you just have to look for it a little harder here in the US, but it is defiantly here.
One of my favorites (Live Oak HefeWeizen) is brewed locally and holds its own against some of the best german hefe's, its ranked as the #6 Hefeweizen on ratebeer, id love to try some of the top 5 hefe's one day, I NEED to visit München during okotberfest before I die for sure....

Any beer lover in austin must hit up the gingerman, they have a rotating tap of about 100 beers thats always changing, including some german/belgium kegs http://aus.gingermanpub.com/draught.html

Whaaaaat the fuck are you talking about?
Have you ever tried beer, ever?
I don't know what a lameass movie has to do with smaller breweries making good beer in smaller batches.

I don't know what a lameass movie has to do with smaller breweries making good beer in smaller batches.
b/c the micro brew trend has been over for years. This post is like a time machine ("Hey guys who's up for a Hefweisen with a lemon?!?!" gaaaack) Was HUGE for a good 5-7 years. The slowly died. And continues to die. Remember all those breweries going public or trying to raise money in 95 95 96????
There is nothing worse then going to a restaurant and being forced to drink their crappy micro brew that is somehow better b/c they made it themselves. A lot of that is bad bad bad.
And the whole industry is geared toward people who really dont drink.. Next party you have - get a keg of microbrew stout and see how that goes...

I guess it all depends on where you are and who you associate with.
Microbrews are still a big thing around here.

There is some truth to what you're saying, as craft breweries really blew up in the late 90s, but craft brews are still growing slow and steady. People are tired of drinking shitty beer, whats wrong with that????

If I brought a keg of DogfishHead 90 min IPA to a party, the people who KNOW BEER would love me. The bud drinking bottomfeeders would hate it.
