America’s Beers… Really? UK Pub Owner Ranks 9 US Beers

American beer gets a bit of a rough reputation in the UK — usually because people think of light, watery lagers and forget that the US also helped kick-start the craft beer revolution. So in this video, I’m trying and ranking 9 American beers that are available in the UK, from the big names like Coors, Budweiser, Corona and Modelo, through to Sierra Nevada, Brooklyn Lager and Founders All Day IPA. I’ll taste each beer, talk a bit about its history, share a few stories from working in pubs over the years, and decide whether I’d actually serve it at my pub, The Old Cross Tavern. Beers featured: Coors Budweiser Miller Genuine Draft Corona Modelo Extra Pabst Blue Ribbon Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Brooklyn Lager Founders All Day IPA Plus a few mentions of Bud Light and Blue Moon along the way. What do you think — does American beer deserve its reputation, or are there a few hidden gems here? Cheers, James
