I ran across a study by Harvard that stated America imports 40% of the world beer market. That is larger than the next 8 top beer importing countries combined.
YET - we only export just over 3% of the world market.
Holy Cow.
Now certainly America deserves it's lousy reputation of beer making. Clearly.
However there are amazing brews made in this country - in fact any "top 100" beers in the world list will include dozens of American beers. But we are not selling any of it outside of this country.
So the question is - is it possible for America's beer clout to rise above the corporate low quality crap-beer that others know us for?
