I detect a bit of beer snootiness in the OP and I realize that it is based on where the OP is located in the country.
You get beer snootiness around middle class white people that work in professional office jobs and drive sensible cars.
I was in the military and went to a middle class college. Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Lite were the flavors.
If they're out of one of those three? Yeah, well... we all know that's impossible. Nobody runs out of those.
Most of the guys that I know that drink beer drink it to get drunk, not because it actually tastes like anything.
...
When I go out for beer, I drink whatever mid-level crap is on tap. When I'm at home I drink either mid-level crap or fancy stuff.
You'll never catch a case of Beast or PBR or Keystone or Busch in my 'frige, but I don't like to spend $7 for a bottle on a regular basis.
One of my favorite beers is Rogue's Double Dead Guy. I'm also a fan of Sam Adams' high potency 4-packs like the Imperial White, etc.
If they sold those at the bars that I go to, I would pay the extra $$$ to drink them. But most bars around here? Blue Moon is considered premium.
