Any tips? Because I am not convinced yet. Many American beers are too watery in comparison with German lagers.
ok first off you call the american part beers and the German part lagers. so what are you really comparing? if you think yeti imperial stout is watery compared to any German lager you can name then you need your taste buds checked out because there is something wrong with them. if you want to say that Germany makes the best lagers, well thats your opinion and i wouldnt argue with it if you named specific brewers. but to say a beer is better just because of the country it is brewed in......do you really think the yeast know they are in Europe?

I love German Lagers, but I'm also a large fan of the Colorado Beers. The East Coast also has some special brews
I drink 1 or 2 beers a year, so obviously that makes me an expert. Back in the old days it was nothing but Schmidt's. Then Colt 45 came out and that had more alcohol. Then Hop n Gator arrived, and the chick's liked it. And of course we can't forget Olde Frothingslosh, “the Pale Stale Ale--so light the foam is on the bottom.” .
Now a Honey Brown will do. I gave up on Rolling Rock since they moved it out of Latrobe, PA. And Iron City is hard to find around here.
Technically, beer and ale are different critters. That said, I just drank a Hop Henge India Pale Ale from Deschutes Brewing Co. and it might be the absolute best I've ever had.
For the last year, the best beer is Brooklyn Lager. Thankfully, most bars in Boston/Cambridge have it.
