Doesn’t matter how long you wait for it to recover. I’m astounded how astounding this is.

    The shake/shock makes a lot of the carbonation come out. That’s all. Most people don’t like “flat” beer.

      Is that like when a dumb friend taps their bottle on top of yours and it bubbles over fast?

        No that’s called a dick move, it also ruins the beer but is different from dropping it because that is an accident and the other situation your friend is a douche canoe.

          That joke hasn’t been relevant in at least 20 years. America deserves a lot of shit for a lot of things, but their beer industry isn’t one of them.

            There’s plenty of good American beers, but the ones from all the biggest brands that are available anywhere all suck. It’s still relevant imo.

              I mean, yeah, the mass market stuff is made to be palatable to the largest audience possible. Can you name a single mass-market beer from any country that isn’t? Most Australians I know tell me Foster’s is shit, and I agree, but I don’t know any craft Australian beers to compare it to.

                Kozel and Pilsner Urquell from Czechia are two of the best pilsner beers you will ever drink, and they’re both mass-market with a global reach. But these are more or less exceptions, most sold beers in many countries (mine included) indeed are the lightest and blandest palettes.

              Popular unpopular take: Our mass produced pisswater is pretty refreshing and perfect for simple cookouts, cracking crustaceans, light yard work, etc. Popular because there’s a reason it sells so well and that reason is the average of American beer drinkers is a palate that wants mild, hopless, lightly alcoholic malt soda fit for washing down plates of vinegar and chili drenched chicken wings. Unpopular because it’s certainly bland or uninspired to anybody that appreciates “objectively good” beer, measured by both their own tastes and the official guidelines for the style they’re partaking.

              Don’t get me wrong, I love a potent barleywine or the hoppiest IPA you can throw at me. But I’m also not above sitting at the picnic table with some Millers or a bunch of natty bohs and a bushel of crabs. 🦀

                When I lived in a college town we had a friendly rivalry with our neighbors: PBR vs Stroh’s house. Our houses were wallpapered with empty beer boxes.

                On a sweltering day you might want something closer to water, but when you help a friend out and they hand you a bland pisswater beer it is very dissapointing to the palate.

          My sincere apologies!
          As a Canadian, I’m fully aware as to what being an ‘assumed American’ is like.

          Calling an entire race of people (especially the race that created the internet, modern medicine, modern mathematics and invented democracy) subhuman is very wrong and it’s part of what makes people not believe that Americans are the greatest race in the history of the solar system and possibly the galaxy.
