As both and American and a lover of Belgian ales, I’d be inclined to agree that we almost certainly don’t have better beer than you (or I) would prefer. We do have some excellent beer, but the focus is on other styles.
German beer hasn’t been relevant in the competition scene in 10 years. The French and Dutch carry the Belgium scene. Id put our best up against the Belgium best any day and have mixed results depending on category.
As a belgian, America having some of the best beer sounds like cope to me when belgium, germany, czechia exist
