"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
The days of the local breweries are pretty much gone though. Henry Weinhards, Stroh's, Olympia, Rolling Rock - they're gone, or bought out by conglomerates. If you don't want mass market swill, then you have to find a decent craft brewery.
I'd try it. I prefer Eoropean beers so I don't get into craft brews. There is a Belgian copy in AZ that's pretty good. Not like that crappy, orange-flavored swill called Blue Moon.
I was never a big beer drinker, but I used to enjoy one now and again. When I went to school in Detroit for a semester, Stroh's was (naturally) the big thing, and when I was back in North Carolina, I would occasionally buy a bottle of Rolling Rock, a pack of cheap cigars (with the birch wood tips; were those Hav-a-Tampa or King Edward? Don't remember) and cruise around in my Super Bird (oh, yes; the other day we were talking about doing stupid things in our youth, weren't we?)
That's an appealing ad. I'd give that beer a try.
