If you are a fan of wimpy, commercial beers like Bud, you will not like craft (real) beer. Michigan has over 70 microbreweries, so I am in beer Nirvana. This is the way beer was intended...the commercial breweries toned beer way down over the past century in order to get more people to drink it. Tasteless commercial beers are for cutting the grass. Microbrews are an acquired taste because we were brainwashed for over a century to drink yellow beer.
To each his own of course, but I love real, fresh brews.
Mich Patriot,
Wife and I travel quite a lot and wherever we go we try to seek out the closest brewpub.
I usually get a tester.
Some mighty fine brews and some real crap out there.
Also in various parts of the country where different fruits are they use those to make some interesting and oft times very good fruit beers.
I am partial to India Pale Ales. And wheat beers.

Oh ya, me too. Thats why I find the brews around here (Mn) (mostly) aren’t even worth the effort to pour them out. No flavor or(I guess what you would call) too many “sacrifices” in order to appeal to the most number of people.
As with a good cigar and a good wine, I’m afraid I can be VERY snobbish, but when I find a good drink, you can trust me, it’s pretty good.
Would LOVE to taste some of your local brews if I ever make it over there.
