      Did you miss out on the fact that you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting multiple microbreweries in the USA? I swear that one of my locals has a microbrewery inside of the microbrewery…

      Lmao I guess a Muslim country would be even worse, but no the two that stood out to me as sucking compared to home were Italy and France. I fully admit that I only had what was available at grocery stores. The prices in Europe definitely beat the pants off of US prices though. (Except I guess American swill like Coors or Steel Reserve etc. but I’m not sure those could even legally qualify as beer in the EU lmao)
