I've become a big fan of Fat Tire by New Belgium Brewing Company recently.

will definitely open your eyes about the "big 3" brewers and what the little guy goes through to get his beer out there.

I just saw that two nights ago. eye opening stuff. With AB "importing"/owning guys like Beck's, Stella, and countless other "imports", is quality going down? You hear about Rolling Rock still using the name and the old factory not even being active any more? AB company list

http://www.anheuser-busch.com/BeerVerified.html.. Widmer and RedHook combined a couple years ago but both still seemingly have their own "named" factories. And then both of those belong to AB.

Then you have that one WILD HOP beer with a made up brewery (more info here). The blind tests were interesting as well. I guess beer is a habit drink based a lot on advertising. I've come to the conclusion, a lot of people don't want to drink "beer", they just want to get buzzed and drunk.. Buzzed and drunk with some good micro brew, there is no other feeling like it. But the cheap drunkiness suffices mostly everyone I guess.

That movie made me want to support my local brewer's even more. With AB even controlling product placement, the last thing I want is for them to run everything. I love variety.. No wonder my favorite microbrews are in the last door in the way back. Some of it, is in the far back in the coolers just sitting. I have to personally ask for some of these beers.

The lager (green bottle) is the best Mexican beer, IMO.

If you ever get the chance, mix 1/5 tangerine to 4/5 great white. Really exceptional.

Lost Coast is easily my favorite brewery. And Great White is also my favorite beer
