Coor is piss, microbrews on the whole are far superior to macro (Haven't yet found a beer worse than the swill put out by the major brewers, Anheuser, Miller and Coors), but Flying Dog is decidedly subpar for the price. However, to reiterate what many posters have said: If you actually like the taste of Coors, you probably won't like real beer. Try some Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen or (easier to find) Saranac Adirondack Amber or Fat Tire Amber. These should have little enough flavor that you won't be scared off.

Having lived in Oregon and had 99% of the micros made in Portland and Bend...AVBC blows them away. Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout is the best beer in the world....bar none!  |

Not that it's a great dark beer, but it is easy on the pallet to make a change, try Michelob's Amber Bock, then try something like Saranac India Pale Ale or Bass. Becks or Heineken dark are also not that hard on the taste buds if you want to try some darker beers. Changing from the American stuff to a more traditional European style beer is an aquired taste. I changed after I went to Germany and England. Now I prefer the ales and darker lagers. Find a bar that has a large selection of taps, and ask for a sample before you order a whole glass. if you find one that you like try a full glass, then move on to another flavor to find a couple more.

And to further point out the irony to the Coors-drinker (not that I have anything against Pete Coors, defender of the 2nd amendment), but Blue Moon is a Coors brand! |

Come to Pensylvania and have some Troegs (Harrisburg) or Stoudts (Adamstown) Both make the best stuff. I was forced to drink Miller Lite last week because it was all there was, and was sick the entire next day. If you are going to drink beer, don't drink some fizzy yellow swill. Drink something that tastes good and knocks you on your ass, or what is the point? Dogfish head is also great. Especially the Immort Ale. Have three of those and you toes will get warm.

Some of the best micro-micro-brews come from my buddy's garage.
 He even makes mead. MEAD!Good enough that he (and his cohort) won a homebrewing festival best of show award last year and a local microbrewery (Oggi's) asked them to oversee a 350 gallon brewing of their recipe. Buddy retains the recipe. Mmmmm. Plummer's Smoked Porter.... EDIT: I cried the day I found out that the Bandersnatch (a microbrewery/restraunt) in Tempe, AZ went out of business. I will forever lament that I've only had their Milk Stout but twice in my life.

Nimbus No Evil Strong Ale is one of the best beers I've ever had. Brewed locally in Tucson, AZ at 8% ABV. Deeeeeeericious.

Drink something decent. Get in a car, drive to Lawrence Kansas, go to the Free State Brewery, order something nice from the menu, and buy yourself a Wheat State Golden or a nice Oatmeal Stout.
Next, go to Kansas City, to the Boulevard Brewing Company, and do roughly the same. Jim |

I can't drink anything with a name like Mock Turtle Blue Lizard Wheat Pale Bock Amber Snake Nano-Broo Hootchie Kooo. Or with "art" on the label. Most of that stuff is just Starbucks beer, beer made for dumb people with too much money to drink for the sake of being seen drinking it. I could overlook some of that if these micro-starbucks made it taste like beer, too. I don't want raspberry, blueberry, coffee, jalapeno, or maple syrup beer. Even when it's good. Chimay tastes good, but it doesn't taste like beer, not to me.

Beer is about what goes into it. American swill is brewed from corn.

the problem with your statement is that budweiser and miller dont actually taste like beer. brewing never really recovered from prohibition, then when the second world war came around, who was drinking beer? women, and lots of them, so the breweries changed their brews to be lighter and less flavorful to appeal to women. they havent changed. so yes you enjoy "bitch drinks" |

One of the local microbrew/restraunt chains (duClaw, if you're from the MD area) always has a few bottles of commercial beer in the fridge. I cant figure out why people would come and pay $3.50 or whatever for a bottle of Miller Lite when the microbrew offering is just as good, and only $1.75 a pint during happy hour.

I've never tasted that particular microbrew, but I've tasted my share of shitty ones. The most memorable was a good tasting one made and consumed at a brew pub in Winthrop WA. Damn near killed my wife and I. We only shared one pitcher, but later we both puked and were laid up with severe headaches.

Well we have had the Starbucks Idea floated here, and I agree that many will drink swill to be trendy.
I started brewing my own to continue a family tradition. Do I make great beer? Maybe, maybe not, but it is much better then the crap you buy at the grocery store. I also have tasted some crappy microbrews, The trick is to taste many and find one you like. I can brew a beer that tastes like Coors, Bud, or Miller. The main grains in the big American beers are corn and rice. European Beer has a primary grain of barley, different grains have different taste. Don't trash all because of a few bad ones. And by all means, DRINK UP it's beer and Ben Franklin is quoted saying something like " Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" |

+1 for home brewing. My buddies and I made several batches after college and they were all better than most micros from the store (of course we were biased). We all seem to be too busy now, but we've been talking about making a batch or two a year again. |
