bigjohn, I make my own beer when I can, it ends up pretty darn cheap depending on what I make. Thing of it is, I don't really drink too much. So when I buy whiskey or beer, I do tend to spot for nicer stuff. As the macrobrew stuff goes, I'm a PBR man myself. Nothing wrong with a stack of iced cold PBR waiting to be consumed. (Dewars white on the rocks does the trick quite nicely too in the scotch world.) But in general, american lagers just don't have much in the way of flavor. I mean heck (not that these are lagers), compare a Blue Moon (run by Coors) to a Celis White. Both are supposedly belgian white's brewed with american malt and hops. You'll see what I mean about flavor. There's tons of people who like amercian lagers, the monolithic Bud, Miller, and Coors stand to prove that. I'd just generally opt for something with more flavor. Chalk it up to personal preference.
