Perhaps. A vast percentage of your beer that's sold is light beer though, surely? I say surely, the numbers exist to confirm this.
The better your craft scene is, the more perplexing this is to outsiders.
But there is also a large difference between pride and arrogance. I know that maybe sometimes in the US this is blurred because many of us are more 'disassociated' from our nation and her accomplishments so the reactionary opine of 'we're winning a war' is a rather bad look.
American beers are very good and they're injecting new life and styles into an old craft but when there's a swaggering arrogance associated with becoming competent in something many European breweries have had hundreds of years experience with its sure to be a turn-off for some.
Though to be fair, so is this:
I mean, I think people that would say 'Sony is winning a war' or 'Microsoft is winning a war' were pretty stupid too even though the precedent has been set.
But okay, so, then its what? Some jingoism about American exceptionalism in beer, a thing you don't actually drink?
I didn't mean to seem uppity. I was going for 'dumbfounded.'
