Is American beer easier to make?
NO! Actually, the American beer style is the hardest beer in the world to “duplicate” because it is so light in malt and hop content. To achieve these characteristics, the breweries use corn or rice to boost alcohol content. The use of rice & corn require special brewing skills acquired only by a few dedicated homebrewers. Breweries also use chemical additives (which have their own impact on taste and enjoyment) that most of us could not pronounce and would not use if given a choice.
