That's unkind. English sterilized bottled or tinned beer isn't "older" than the US equivalent. English cask-conditioned beer is a fresh product, usually made no more than a few days before it's pulled.



I assumed they meant older in terms of heritage. But it’s still an unfair comment given how nice ale is.


Also given how until very recently American beer had a terrible reputation for being watery rubbish. Most of the American beers that make it overseas are still those watery mass produced products.


Rice beers.
