Not in my experience, when on holiday in the States in 2014 I came across some excellent beers, mainly from small local breweries. Hope that is still the case otherwise it would be a travesty.8Geee wrote:Any beer that is not pasteurized need only apply.
That would eliminate every (?) beer sold in the USA AFAIK.
All of our major lables are pasteurized... the RUIN of many a good beer

Maybe we are talking at cross purposes, large breweries inject their product with CO2 gas prior to sealing up the container, I suspect its that which you rightly object to. Properly made beer uses sugar to prime the beer prior to sealing, this sugar reacts with residual yeasts left in the live beer (non-pasturised) to turn it into a sparkling drink with a lovely foamy head when you open the bottle. All my 5 gallon batches of beer are produced this way.drunkjedi wrote: Maybe I will like a de-carbonated flat beer, like they used to drink in ancient time, but haven't seen one at places near me. Never had a home brewed either.
If you ever travel to Europe you will find some great beers especially the beers brewed in Belgium in the Trappist monasteries.
It depends on which containers.
Keg beers are filtered and pasteurised and driven to the pump by CO2.
Cask beers (or live beers) are not pasteurised, not pressurised and need to be pumped.
One of the reasons keg beers exist is because they are a hell of a lot easier to move, and keep.
Cask beers can only be moved ONCE after the last lot of finings are introduced and that is usually just prior to delivery so that the only journey is from the depot to the cellar.
Keg beers, on he other hand, often get moved several times.
I used to work for Allied Breweries in BOT and one of the perks was being able to get cask beer delivered to the home provided there was a delivery to a Pub near by.
Cask conditioned Diamond Export is one hell of a drink that is not commercially available.
