A couple of weeks ago, a European friend of mine, who was passing through Washington, suggested that we get together for a few drinks to bitch about politics in Europe and America. “Could we,” he requested in a typically dismissive way, meet at a place that serves imported beer as opposed to “the s–t that Americans drink?”

I pointed out to my snooty European friend that not all Americans drank Budweiser and Coors, and that the country abounded with thousands of breweries producing a great variety of beer.
