Because you came into the beer thread talking about how you like Bud Light and don't like "dark" beer, etc.
Answer me this. Would you rather eat a burger and chicken wings, or would you rather eat, say, an Indian dish with a bunch of spices like cumin, turmeric, etc.?
Seriously, Americans have the worst and most unsophisticated palates in the world, so it's not a big deal. I didn't enjoy "real" beer myself until I was in my later twenties. I also had a bland, American diet as well. Now I enjoy pairing good beer with food that actually has flavor. It's nice!
