Except Samuel Adams, aren't these all micro-brews? I don't think this list accurately reflects the beer drinking attitudes of the beer drinking market in America.

Seems rather odd to me. Beer drinkers becoming snobs like wino's it appears to me.

I prolly can't afford any on that list.

It's not supposed to. The majority of beer-drinking Americans are happy with crap beer.

About 8 years ago, I drove my mom 13 hours to visit my sister for Christmas. We arrived and I was exhausted from driving, so they took us out to dinner on X-Mas Eve. We went to some microbrew place in Daytona and not realizing it, I told the waiter, after trying to decifer the beer menu, to just get me a Coors Light. The jerk immediately went into French snotiness and sniffed that they didn't serve that stuff there! Nonetheless, his snippiness cost him his tip while I sampled some of the microbrewery's pisswater.

I'm not a snob when it comes to beer, though I do admit to a passion for Amstel. Gimme a can of Busch over some of that microbrewed stuff anyday.

It's supposed to reflect the "best" beer according to quality, not the most popular beer by volume consumed; and why would anyone want to read a list like 1) Budweiser 2) Miller Lite 3) Coors 4) ...

I don't see why it's snobbish to recognize beers which use higher quality ingredients and are made with more care than the mega-brewery stuff. After all, I don't think anyone would be accused of being a snob if they said that McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's was nothing more than cheap, fast food, but for a GOOD meal you had to go to "x" restaurant.
