I wish there were craft sodas so that everyone would call Coke and Pepsi horse piss.
There are certainly fancier brands, like Jones.
Jones soda is the bomb
Also Virgil's, especially their cream soda.
Is there a diet Jones tho?
In addition to Jones and Virgil as others have said we have Maine Root, Sprechers, Dublin and others. Most grocery stores in the US at least will have a small section of various root beers and other craft sodas. Stores like whole foods or other fancy type places will usually have more of a selection. World market has a ton as well I believe.
At least where I live there are a bunch of small soda brands at the grocery store make pepsi and coke seem like piss water.
We have coke. Pepsi is horse piss.
Craft beer is like someone took the worst part of beer and made it the only part. I'm not saying Budweiser is good but it's better than any craft shit I've ever had
Coming from Belgium, it's an entirely different experience here.
We've theorised that in the US, they're just businesses that buy an installation with recipes included and have very little knowledge of how brewing actually works.
Do you mean for the mass produced shit lagers? There is a lot of science that goes into making those as bland as possible.
For craft brews, quite a few brew masters absolutely love beer and brewing and study a myriad of brewing techniques from around the world.
Craft beer is an extremely wide range of types. What do you consider the worst part of beer? Bitterness? Sweetness? Thickness? There are tons of different flavors along the thousands upon thousands of beers in the world.
Bud Lite is brewed to be as flavorless as possible. It's not bad but I don't think anyone would argue that it is great either. It is meant to be as acceptable as possible by the largest amount of people.
Beer, overall, may not be your thing. That's fine. But tons of beers have a lot to offer from a flavor complexity standpoint.
