    Yes, and in my view this makes American brewers look lesser.

    While picking up my fairly tasty fish burrito (save your comments) earlier today, I passed a pizza place in a nearby food court and smelled a BBQ pizza. And coincidentally, at that moment, the thought crossed my mind (as it often does): BBQ sauce has absolutely no place on a pizza.

    Now those cheesy-bite crust Pizza Hut pizzas OTOH... brilliant! :wink: When are they going to start shoving deep-fried jalapeno poppers in the crust?

    I really don't see why the two have to be mutually exclusive. Most Belgian breweries are constantly experimenting within styles to create new well-crafted beers. Each of these breweries creates beers as their own individual expression and don't necessarily feel the need to adhere to style boundaries. I guess the opposite (?) would be German brewers, who are restricted in ingredients and therefore limited in styles. Both have their merits, and their time and place, and I would hate to have to choose one over the other.
