Nothing wrong with American beer. Beer snobs just like to prance around telling everyone they are 'sophisticated.'
If by American, you're talking about Bush, Bud, Millers, etc, the answer is yes. There are over 1400 brewers in the US, and probably over 10,000 beers. Some of these are great and some are terrible.I hate beer, but that is likely because I've only ever had American beer.
What beer do you usually drink, if you do? Is American really crap compared to, say, German?
My all time favorite are:
Spaten Optimator - German
Murphy's Irish Stout - Irish
Blue Moon - (USA - Colorado)
Has no one brought up Sam Adams yet?

You really do not know anything about beer, do you?
Americans brewers make some of the finest beers on earth, BD.
Those won't be those gigantic nation brands, of course, but as to fine beer, many American brewerues are churning out some truly fine sudz.
Root beer, although it is available throughout the world, is really an American drink. What we know as root beer today was developed by Charles Hires in the late 1800's and introduced in Philadelphia. It's predecessor was call small beer, a low alcohol drink made from barks, berry, and herbs which appeared in Briton about 800 years ago.Veering off into the realm of softdrinks...it has been my experience that almost all peoples around the globe really hate rootbeer except we Americans.
I used to sell beer for a living and I'm an unabashed beer snob. There are a lot of really good microbreweries in America, but I won't drink crap cooking beers like Bud or Coors. The brewing process of the mass produced beers makes for a cheap but crappy product IMO. If you like the big breweries, I'm not going to argue with you because everyone's taste is their own, but I'd rather eat a filet mignon than a Big Mac.

Not to mention that other nations or regions have "their" drinks. How about eel soda anyone?

I brew some pretty damn good beer. Of course over the years I've tweeked it to my exact taste, but I have had compliments from almost everyone who has tasted it. It's a simple ale; malt, hops, yeast, water. Very high alcohol content.
After my own brew, my absolute favorite is Shock Top.

Really? I'm not much of a beer or spirits drinker. I know guys who can double my annual consumption in one evening. I found Shock Top to be almost flavorless.

Well, to each his own.

Agreed. Just saying that compared to the various beers I've drank over the years, ST doesn't have much flavor to me personally. That's why I was surprised that a home brewer liked it so much.

I've never had a Sam Adams that I liked.

The beer in Belgium was outstanding. And no, the "Belgian" beers brewed here, or even imported from Belgium are nowhere near as good.
Stella is the most overrated barley pop I've ever drank.
New Glarus Brewery puts out some awesome stuff.
