Yuengling makes good beer. Great Lakes Brewing in Cleveland make a bevy of fine handcrafted beers. Many small batch local breweries around the country make good beer. Many European brewed and bottled beers are good.
Cost is not a factor for me. Taste is. I like a good beer. Forget the watery versions that Anheuser-Busch, Coors and the like call beer.
A really good beer can be enjoyable and be quite palatable at room temp (perhaps an acquired taste - I lived in Ireland for three years).
While stationed in Germany(59-62)I was amazed at the Germans love for room temp beer. They actually had a device that looked something like a curling iron that they would put into the beer in the winter(beer storage was outside and of course the beer was cold in the winter)in order to bring it up to room(or close)temps. Gasthaus owners were not pleased that they had to go out of the way to make the beer cold in the summer for the GIs. Because of that I can, at my advanced age, drink room temp beer, if it is a good beer. Unlike some on this thread I consider Sam Adams a good beer, especially their Summer Ale. I think it is over priced however and so am constantly looking for good tasting beer with a lower price. BTW German beer, at least when I was there, was far superior to most American brands at that time and probably still are.
