It's Monday, and I'm feeling recalcitrant. Tell me an unpopular opinion you have.
Personally, I think the Wachowski Sister's Speed Racer movie was great. Audiences just didn't understand anime enough at that point to get what they were doing.
@RickiTarr American craft beer has become the best in the world. The Germans have fallen behind and are being held back by their Purity laws.
@Tweetfiction Oh baby, you are right, but people won't like it
I don't like it.
I will grant you that American beer is less terrible than it used to be.
But, I refuse to see food purity as a bad thing.
@rrb @Tweetfiction So my issue with it is like with Italian food, they've put themselves in a corner where creativity isn't allowed. Plus anytime people start using the word purity I get uncomfortable
In general, I find European regulations not allowing all forms of chemical sludge in food tends to create a superior user experience. I see it as comparing twinkies to croissants.
I like the IPAs as well, and US breweries have improved a lot since the 1980s.
But, it still can not compare with traditional brews made by monks. (One of the few bits of the Catholic church I will defend to my death.)
Try a liter at Kloster Andechs or the Bratwurst Gloekl am Dom in Munich, where the beer is not transported using trucks. There is a big difference. (Go to Andechs, anyway -- gorgeous view)
