Why does everyone hate Heineken.

It's one of the worst beers in the world that barely deserves the name beer.
If you have any respect for your taste buds you should limit yourself to Belgian beers and a select few from other countries.

There is only ONE good beer coming from the Netherlands and thats La Trappe.

I guess you're Belgian. Heineken's not bad and Heineken for bitcoins frikin awesome but if the Belgians know anything its beer

I'm Dutch.

Heineken is terrible. Belgian beer is typically superior to Dutch beer (though some nice Dutch beers exist).

There are quite a few nice Dutch beers, just Heineken is not one of them.

I don't agree with the sentiment that there are only a few select countries that produce good beer, though it does differ, based on what you are into. The key to finding a good beer is research and trying new stuff. I've been toying with the idea of setting up an online off license for craft ales where you can pay with Bitcoin, I think it'd work well.

In defense of Heineken: Those who think it's "total shit" obviously never drank a really bad beer.

It's bland. Not really great. Bit watery. But far from completely shit, I would say.

I am indeed Belgian, and as every Belgian should, I know quite a lot about beer.

I agree there are worse beers, but those I don't even take into account.
I take Heineken as entry level for everything that's beer and in that section it's rock bottom.

However:

I do enjoy beers from all over the world! The Netherlands for example has "La Trappe" for those that haven't tried it, I highly recommend it! Even in the USA you have a couple of excellent microbreweries!

Germany typically thinks they have decent beers, but 90% of what they brew over there is pure water with little to no flavor.
