Why are Americans so obsessed with brewing their own beer?
>>155423312Because they're better at it than everyone else
It's like when you want to cook a meal you like at home versus getting it at a restaurant
>>155423312I don't think this is common at all, these are cartoons anon.I think they just do that because they find the scenario interesting.
>>155423312Freedom isn't free
>>155423312A good chunk of their history had the sale of alcohol banned and so they had to make it themselves
>>155423312>making your own food and drink with natural ingredients Cringe>consuming chemically enhanced cancer inducing goyslop insteadLe based
>>155423312ESLs can't appreciate the joy of making something with their own two hands
>>155423397>a good chunk of their history >13 short years of it being banned Homebrewing beer was something you were forced to do to drink originally, before big brands and logistics and bottling factories and saloons were a thing it was like making your own bread at home. It just tasted like shit compared to cider and didn't get you drunk like rum.Why the cartoons reference it is it remained illegal to homebrew until 1979, it was a "cool" and "hip" thing for boomers to stick it to the man over like smoking weed before legalization.
>>155423312Eleutheromania
>>155423602Stfu, Harold, you don’t know shit
>>155423312Have you ever had mass produced American beer? Pretty much everything in that deregulated hellhole is made to be as quick and cheap as possible with the standard being lowered a little more each year, which is an attitude that even bleeds into industries where quality should be priority one. It's the worst beer in the world, absolutely awful, even the French make better beer.Of course they make their own at home, it's the only way these sad saps get to taste anything that tastes even remotely similar to what good beer is like.
It's a fun creative hobby that also has the rep of being more "manly" than cooking or baking.I tried it once but I felt like it was too much work and gayer than cooking. It did turn out bretty good though so maybe I should give it another go.

>>155423312industrious spirit, non americans wouldn't understand because they rely on the government
>>155423602Bro's casting a spell
>>155423895Your assumption about America's character literally started in the fucking 70s and 80s. In the “tead” 1950s, 1/3 of Americans were in pro-government unions.
>>155423312Why is any obsessed with making their own anything? Because it's cool to be able to make something you enjoy for yourself.
>>155423947And this is why leftists don't have any hobbies and can't meme?
>>155423626Uh huh, sure buddy
>>155423312Why aren't you?
>>155423947Yeah, which is why we shouldn't take the "greatest generation" narrative about those cucks all that seriously. They sacrificed over 150 years of American self reliance for government work programs that made the government generated recession worse and post war regulation that enshrined every government over reach of the early 20th century into law.
>>155423312Prohibition>>155423397Prohibition only lasted for 13 years. Alcohol has been legal for the 237 years America has been a thing. Prohibition did leave a long lasting impact on American bar and drinking culture we're still kind of dealing with today. What is it with Europeans being confidently incorrect about everything having to do with America. They're worse than Americans at knowing about America and Americans are fucking stupid.
>>155423964not a leftist, right-wing socialist >>155423986Genuinely how do you think the government worked before that? America's government and economy were very similar to those of France and Britain. The US Army was the force that cleared Native Americans from the land and helped establish towns. Army engineers surveyed and mapped western territories, while the government provided land through programs such as the Homestead Act.
>>155423343You fucking wish lol
>>155423312>Vietnamese throat singing forum, why is *scenario I pulled out of my ass* a thing?
>>155423588>>155423990It seemed longer to the drunks.
>>155423312In the Simpsons case, it was because alcohol was outlawed in Springfield, so they had no other choice.
>>155423588>tasted like shit compared to cider and didn't get you drunk like rum.Not mutually exclusive. Hard cider is a thing.>>155423626>>155423966Hence the IP craze.
>>155423312>EHH WHY AMELIKKKA DO DIS?!I dunno. Why are britbongs fascinated with tumblr deer man?
>>155424541*IPA
>>155423312it's more about 300+ episodes shows run out of ideas and end up doing the same plot ideas. it's a generic hobby a few people have. these same shows also probably all have an episode about gardening, painting, getting into fancy cooking, etc.
>>155423343they aren't even the best in their continent
>>155423312I see, you must be a max power fan if this question is in your mind after he reviews bender episode.Otherwise this is a very obscure thing to fixated on since I don't recall any other fox series having a recent episode of it since last season of koth.>>155425137This is the best explanation, it's a whacky plot that is inspired by shit some people do and can tie to prohibition plots.Some series even do it like twice and even 3 times like the Simpsons, most series that so this are from Fox too so maybe there's a writer in common between those shows.
>>155423588And now the best beer comes from microbreweries
>>155423312It's fun
>>155423602Is Eleutheromania when your husband huffed paint fumes because someone told him not do it?
>>155423397We got a good comic out of it.
>>155423312The prohibition made it obvious that people will pay good money for booze. If it's great then you can charge a good amount of money for it. If it's not that good then you can sell it cheap. Both cases people will still buy it.
>>155425154Is that a joke? All Mexican beer tastes the same, and what the fuck does Canada have? Molson? It's a piss beer that tastes the same as our piss beer.
>>155423312Because our water is poisonous
>>155426174Prohibition alcohol was notoriously terrible though. Most of it was watered down, not aged properly and mixed with other chemicals. It was barely passable for human consumption.People were just desperate to get drunk. If anything prohibition taught beer companies that Americans would swallow any watered down piss swill if it got them drunk.
>>155423588To be fair, your country history is like 200 years, so is not that short
>>155423397This
>>155423626>thinks america is deregulatedCute
>>155427122I always love people that say 200 short years because apart from the UK the US is the longest running government still in operation. Hell most French people don't realize their current government is only 68 years old and the FIFTH republic to preside over the French Government.
>>155427243>longest running government still in operation. That applies only if you're talking about the system of government; culture and ideology changed completely every decade.
>>155426286>People were just desperate to get drunk.Exactly and that's when it was the only way to get alcohol. But after that passed, competition and standards made that no longer viable. Now you either need to be good or cheap. Or just make your own to drink yourself and give to others.
>>155423312>Why are Americans so obsessed with drawing their own art?Just workshoping more idiotic questions from people outside America.
>>155423312well the 21st amendment got passed but it only really happened in 14 states where real humans live
>>155423312Because we can!
>>155426135And like all webcomics, it was never finished and never will be.
>>155426135Ah, so that's where that sexy brown cat comes from.
>>155427501Cope
>>155427284Yeah and by that argument every country has thousands of years of culture to pull from. It's always been a shit arguement.
>>155423626Genuinely retarded take, Anon. Don't judge the whole nation by the cheapest piss at the grocery store: the US is much larger than you think, with breweries all over the place.>>155427209I don't see where anyone could get this idea; having spent a stint working at a meat packing plant, I have seen the sausage being made in a figurative and literal sense.
>>155423626every worthwhile nation on this earth makes a good beer or some kind or another. grow up and quit being a fucking clown.
>>155423312Legalizing this was Jimmy Carter's one great achievement as president
Why are Brits so obsessed with making their own sweets?
>>155423312Probably because most drinks sold in stores are either watered down, too expensive, or have questionable ingredients. Or it's just a side DIY hobby
>>155423312because prohibition was an era where bootleggers were seen as heroes. It was during the great depression and everyone just wanted to drink their sorrows away while the government wouldn't let them legally. Fun fact: NASCAR comes from this era as well. Bootleggers would mod their cars to be faster than the cars driven by police officers and on weekends would race each other on Daytona Beach for cash prizes.
A horrible idea that was totally unenforceable especially when alcohol was trivially easy to manufacture at home.
>>155423312Because it's legal and cooking, but manly. Just don't sell it. Easy peasy.
>>155430824>NASCARbased af. now FoaF storytime. there was a mexican guy with a big pet parrot, irrc a scarlet macaw. this parrot loved to watch nascar on tv. if nascar wasn't on tv, parrot would say "racecar racecar" all the time. the interesting part is... despite no audio from the cars, the parrot knew what a crashout should sound like. if the parrot was informed no racecars were on tv, he'd tantrum by spinning his head faster and faster, and go "neeeeooorr neeoorrrow" followed by "BOOOSHHH" to mimic a crash. but how did the parrot learn this?
>>155429660The food and farming industry is heavily regulated to the point that only large corporations or companies under their umbrella can afford to operate in it.
>>155423312Because it's cool?
>>155431617When companies draft regulations, as rapetarians all worship as a concept, you end up with an unregulated market. Corruption and cronyism are themselves a form of deregulation, my pedophile friend.
>>155432920Obsessed
>>155423312It's called the Faustian Spirit, you wouldn't get it.
>>155432920>>you unregulate the market by heavily regulating it!!!Oh that makes a whole lot of sense. The regulations in the food industry are to keep small farms and companies from taking a larger share of the industry from big megacorps. Those corporations work hand n' hand with the USDA to stifle local food commerce. You can't say the US is deregulated when you have to go through half a dozen or more bureacratic middle men just to sell your product.
>>155423312Mmm... Home-brewed...
>>155425154Americans aren't the best, but you're retarded if you think anyone else in NA makes better beer.
>>155423312Their mass-produced stuff is irredeemably garbage so they have to cope with boutique batches just to get something that isn't piss. This plus a certain sense of romanticism for the prohibition period.
/cock/ thread: beer edition
I had a co-worker who collected beer cans. All sorts of weird brands. He'd invite us over for parties so he wouldn't have to drink the piss himself. Only restriction was the cans had be be opened from the bottom so they'd still look 'mint' on his shelves.
Cause it was the premise of the Drew Cary show and everyone likes that show.
>>155423633You are my gay boyfriend.
>>155432961ThisESLs can only seethe, in the language given to them by Brits no less
>>155423312Oh please. Homebrew beer isn't strickly an American thing.When I was growing up in Saudi, my britbong expat dad was running a low scale beer making operation out of our kitchen. Never sold it to the Saudi's, though, Those fuckers could drink like fish, and always haggled on price.
>>155423312That's pretty much just a hipster white guy thing, not Americans in general.
>>155423312>samebeersameshow.png LOL!
I think it would be more accurate to say, “Why are Fox's screenwriters so obsessed with it?”
>>155437233...... OHIO (OHIO) (OHIO)
