That's because American wheats often taste like... American beers. Hop forward, sour, bitter, nasty. I like shocktop better than blue moon.
Can I quote this as a funny thing I heard about beer?

I once heard a guy stereotype all American beer as hop forward, sour, bitter, nasty. Then he said he liked shocktop.
Or was he talking about American WHEAT beers, and did he say "often" or "all?"

Perhaps your statement should be worded differently then. As it stands, it sure as hell sounds like you are implying that American beers are all hop forward, sour bitter, and nasty.
Everyone else was being a dick, so I just figured it was my turn! There's a reason I come here instead of places like beeradvocate, but this kind of thread action makes me think twice.
I'll offer this to get on track (hopefully) from a friend of mine the other night. "No way, Coors light is better than Bud! It's crisper!"
The bottom line, though, is that beers that are hop forward and overly bitter (i.e. quintessential "craft" beer in America) are nasty.

I just looked at him in disbelief..........
Not about beer, but about rum........
A friend and two of our co-workers were sitting around at this restaurant talking about different beers. I was drinking a Dogfish Head 60 IPA, and one of the ladies was asking me more about the episode of Brewmasters where they were making the Chichna, or "spit" beer.
They found the story somewhat gross but interesting after I (to the best of my ability) explained why they did this, but then my friend had to up the ante and tell them rum makers in the Caribbean back in the 1700s-1800s also did the same thing with sugar cane.

I think I just died a little inside.
Had a new hire come through, they do this intro thing in the company newsletter where you list who you are/your hobbies etc.
Well, this guy has an apple orchard and specializes in making apple wine. I decided, "Awesome! Send this guy an email, hello fellow fermentor, what up?"
I told him I brew beer, this is word for word the first line of his email back:
"I do not care for dark beer so I have never tried to make beer."
/face
Did your reply have " and the horse you road in on." at the end of it?

I just spent like an hour mesmerized by this!
So much for being productive today!
That reminds me of a time back in my server days....(reminisce with me)

I had a table of some very interesting individuals come in. The males all ordered Coors Lights, but one lady was insistent that she have some wine. The guys were giving her a hard time about it calling her fancy pants and all that. She got a little flustered at the ribbing and turned to me for help.
"I want a glass of red wine," she says.
"Sure, we have a very nice Cabernet, as well as..."
"No," she interrupts, "that stuff gets you too drunk. I want a light red, like a Pinot Grigio." (I'm translating from her native Backass South Carolina accent)
I'm trying not to laugh so the guys won't start up on her again, but I really couldn't come up with anything other than, "Well, that's a white, but I'll be happy to get you a glass."
She looked at me embarrassed turning to true anger and just kept repeating in her backass SC accent 'I want a Peanut Gree chee oh, bring me a red Peanut Gree chee OH!' She was actually banging her fists on the table. I brought her a glass of Cab, and she goes 'See? Was that so hard?' and glared at me the rest of the meal. Fun times.
