It seems that we American beer drinkers hold beers imported from foreign countries in a higher regard than some of our own brews. But, the president of the Czech Republic thinks U.S. beers are lousy! This is an outrage!

Here's what he said, according to rt.com/news:

"The Czech president Milos Zeman eulogized his country’s trademark beverage, while insulting US beer as “filthy water” during a presidential business summit in the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan.

Asked about which beer is the best in the world, by the longtime Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbaev, Zeman did not hesitate.

“We have built several breweries here already. We might make good planes, cars or other products, but most importantly, never forget - Czech beer is the best in the world,” said the 70-year-old.

“No American company that offers some filthy water instead of beer, can compete with us.”
