Complaints about Pasteurization

All beer in the US is pasteurized.  I believe this is because the FDA requires beer to be boiled in hopes of making it safer to drink.  It turns out that unpasteurized beer, pretty much all the beer in Europe, tastes much better.  I’ve had Czechvar (Budvar in Czech), Paulaner, Piraat, and many others pasteurized and unpasteurized, and the difference is huge.  FDA, please allow at least imported beer to be unpasteurized.
