OK I did hug a gay baby whale once but none of the other shit applies to me. The only thing I hate about the US is that piss you guys call beer.
My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Then you should drink more Sam Adams. Case closed.
You need to come down here again then. The American beer scene has improved radically over the last 20 -25 years or so.QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteWe are not all tree hugging, dope smoking, US-hating, go-hug-a-gay-baby-whale socialist cry babies.

Unfortunately it seems that people outside the USA haven't realized it yet, maybe because many of the really good beers don't get exported.

Yeah the beer scene in the US has vastly improved. Huge variety, more then anywhere else.

Actually I was just screwing around. US beer is great, but I just wanted to play up a stereotype.

We can buy that in the LCBO so I will take your advice. I hope this is not a trick.

While there is indeed more choice than 30 years ago, the big big sellers in the US are STILL the piss-based "beers". One brand of piss alone has around 50% of the US beer market. No doubt we'll see their ads during the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The same things could probably be said about the major fastfood chains, but nobody pretends that eating that stuff is "fine dining."

OK, but it takes no more time or effort to buy a good beer than a pissy one. So the "fast" excuse won't work. People actually choose to buy/drink the pissy stuff when good beers are right there.

To each his own! I have a lot more respect for Budweiser after reading its history, and honestly when you're thirsty Coors Light often beats water. Nothing like Angel's Share or Stone's Vertical Epic, of course, but there is a beer for every season. (And every task - Raccoon Lodge Raspberry Wheat is the ultimate lawnmower beer.)

Does respect for a company's history equate to a better product? I have respect for the history of Bell Labs, but I'm glad I didn't buy Lucent stock.

Coors Light is often better than water doesn't seem much of an endorsement, either.

I know at a certain airfield in Southern Afghanistan it is possible to get some Tim'ies coffee and donuts. But I wonder if Bud or Coors is available? This is Afghanistan we were talking about right? 
Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I expect Bud Lite is often better than Afghani well-water too.

Literally, yes, since many people place value (i.e. their sense of "better" or "worse") on a product's history. For example, a parent might choose to not buy a brightly painted Chinese toy even if it tests out OK because of the history of their products.
Same is true of me. For a long time I didn't like IPA's because they taste, well, hoppy and bitter. My palate didn't change, but I appreciate them more nowadays because I've gotten better at tasting the differences between them, and I understand the brewer's goals better.
Likewise, knowing what goal the brewers of Budweiser were going for, I can better appreciate what the beer is and what they were going for. Doesn't mean I want it all the time.

Well, Speedway Stout is often better than coffee, and the 2000-2002 Renwood zinfandels are better than grape juice too! It takes all kinds.
