    I like ales, I like lager...

    And I like Budweiser. So sue me.

    I'm not accusing anyone of snobbery; that's snobbery in its own right. But there's a reason why A-B built a dominant market share, and its not just advertising. When you open a mass domestic you can expect consistency. This is absolutely untrue for microbrews.
