Fat Tire is from the New Belgium Brewery up in Ft. Collins, which is still independent, but your Blue Moon is a Coors product straight out of Golden, CO.

Yep. All the major brands need to realize is that they need to produce quality.
Sure, they’ll be a segment that wants the sort of beer you can drink in 6-packs and hardly notice that anything happened, but more people want flavor and quality. It’s called “a changing market,” guys.
Side note: frequently we (FR) like to sneer at Euro values, often rightly; this is one time when they’ve been right all along, and we ought to acknowledge it properly as fellow spirits (pun intended!) and appreciators of beer.

although some liquor stores carried Anchor Steam. Ah, the real San Francisco treat! America's original craft beer, and still my favorite.

I discovered Anchor Steam beer in 1973. The manager of the liquor store that carried it said that it was a new arrival. I considered far superior to Michelob, supposedly the best American beer at the time.

Everyone I know here in Vermont drinks local craft beer.When I visited Montreal, relatives of mine who lived in Vermont would pay me to bring back some Labatt's--the real thing.

If I'm drinking a beer (and the resulting asthma reaction from it) it's not anything related to AB. Mine preferences are towards darker beers - (including local brewed ones) as well as Shiner Bock, Abita, and most of the Sam Adams line.
Gimme a real beer if I'm drinking one. (Sadly, now, it's Redbridge and that's not a real beer either!)

COuld you post your sweet potato beer recipe, please.
To: american_ranger
When I get around to making it next fall, I'll post it. Maybe even do a thread on it.
All that stuff is buried right now, as I'm giving the house a make over. I can't find anything. ;)

I have grown fond of IPAs in recent years. Not cheap, though.

I remember sitting in a bar in Stockholm looking over a list of their “imported,” “foreign” beers. Strange to see Blue Moon on the list. I live in Colorado. :)

Boddington’s from Manchester UK. It’s a cream ale. Thick and carmely - not too alchoholic. Think of it more as a meal supplement, or even a substitute.

Anything but Miller or Pabst. Actually, I used to like Molson, before it went south. And I like the local beers of Maine—Shipyard, and several others.
Two of my sons-in-law brew their own beer, and that’s good too, although a little hoppy for my taste.

9 bucks for a 6 pack?
Spend a extra 7 dollars and get a 30 of PBR. It all goes the same place anyways.
