Pilsner Urquell is the GOAT.

geographic origin does not make a beer good or bad

there are shitty imports, there are great imports

same for craft beer

True.

IPAs and sours are foul regardless of where they’re brewed.

Get both?

I love different imported beer, but there's a lot of good craft beer as well.

Love Highland Gaelic Ale and Tiger beer.

Have to agree wholeheartedly with OP here.

A Czech Pilsner from Europe tastes like it should. A "Czech Style Pilsner" from a craft brewery has hints of the original stuff, but is always tweaked to include some bullshit "hoppiness" and/or some bullshit sweetness or "floral/citrus notes."

In their quest to be hip and unique, the craft breweries end up bastardizing the original tastes and feels of what the beer should be, and usually tastes vastly different than what I was expecting.

This goes for all Craft Brewed versions of the following:

German Pilnsers
Czech Pilsners
Marzens/Festbiers
Dunkels
Kolsch
etc etc etc

Outside of a few English beers.....most imports suck compared to craft beers.

Meh there's plenty of craft breweries putting out crispy bois on the same level as the European big boys.

Live Oak in TX does European styles like pilsners and hefes better than anyone else in the country.

Yes import is better than craft beer. Most craft beer is way too hoppy. Your choice, however, is not the goat or even a good beer.

I agree with OP. Pilsner Urquell is my favorite beer. However, Victory brewing puts out a pilsner that is also, of very high quality. Worth czeching out.

US craft beer is the best beer in the world.

some places go a little crazy.. but for the most part the best quality is in the US.

While there's plenty of really good stuff here, the best I've ever had was at some brewpubs in Austria.

Now, if we're only talking about beer available for packaged retail sale (as opposed to on-premises consumption), then I might agree with you.

There are plenty of really good import beers, and plenty of really good craft beers.  There are too many wonderful beers for me to decide that one is better than the other.  Good beer is truly a joy to a man...

Beer and/or bacon to men is like chocolate and/or flowers for a woman.

Budvar/Budwahr Urquell
Original Budweiser

The problem = beer is better fresh and it's hard to be sure how old it is imported and sitting on shelf in store.

That is the difference.  OP said IMPORTS....

Fresh brew and cider across the pond is fantastic.   Imported?  Meh....  I only like a couple.  

Even Guinness is excellent when you are drinking it while sitting in a pub in Edinburgh....

After going through all the stages of craft beer, I'm back where I started: Pilsners

Pilsner Urquell is great second to my favorite (that's easily available) Grolsch.

Grolsch is a little more bitter than PU.  I have both in the fridge right now and the Grolsch 12 pack will be gone first.

The only craft breweries I frequent now are German ones where I can get a real Pilsner or Kolsch or something that tasted decent.  I'm done with all the hipster shit.  Just loving German/Czech/Dutch stuff.

Pilsners and Bavarian lagers are where I've ended up too strangely.  I used to be obsessed with stouts and Dunkels but I guess my tastes have changed.

I do occasionally imbibe in some doppelbocks like Paulaner Salvator or Spaten Optimator.

99% of the US Craft Beer market is oversaturated trash.

“Here’s our bubblegum graham cracker double IPA. You may notice that it has a salty full-bodied flavor, and that’s because it was infused with HIV+ semen from a refugee that was recovered in a rape kit from a forensics lab we broke into to fight white supremacy and systemic racism. It pairs well with avocado toast.”

Why do the beer noobs always say dumb stuff like "craft beer = hipster IPA"?

While I do agree that IPAs are gross there are hundreds of craft brewed wheat beers, stouts, lagers, saisons...etc.

US craft beer is available here, some good and some less so. They tend to be overpriced when compared to domestic craft brews though.

3PNI. Great beer is great beer. I am a traditionalist at heart- don’t care for all this chocolate/coffee/ weird beer, but I also enjoy the Belgian styles that differ a lot from the Budmiller offerings.

I generally agree.  There are exceptions.  

Czech pils are great.  Munich lagers are up there as well.
