I am not a beer snob, but I love a good, fresh craft beer from a local or regional brewer. I cant for the life of me understand how we Americans allowed one type of beer (pilsner) speak for us as a nation. After playing beirut exclusively with high life for three years in college, now, 9 years later, I cant touch the stuff. The only time I have a light beer is with pizza. I think as you get older, and the effects of being drunk aren't what they once were, you just start yearning for interesting things to taste.
that being said, I had a warm high life last year and I almost hurled on the first swig.
