Default exporting beer to the US (was: finding flights not connecting in theUS liquor))

In Europe, many large Breweries are cranking out lots of inferior
quality beer at high prices.


Please don't group Europeans together. Grouping Czech breweries with
Belgian breweries is stupid and insulting.

From an economic standpoint, it's naive to claim that the marketplace

tolarates relatively poor quality beer at relatively high prices.
Jupiler is dirt cheap. Substandard beer makers must compete with 0.75
eur/bottle. While quality beer comparable to St. Bernardus costs
upwards of 3-fold the Belgian cost, in the US. The US is not even
close to a point where beer imports can be considered uninteresting -
not by a long-shot.
