"I drank stuff like Schlitz, Schaffer, Pabst, Lowenbrau, Bud,"

Bud has a new brew out called American Ale. It's good, try it. I don't know if any of the major manufacturers produce an ale. Almost all lagers. They leave that up to the Sam Adams and Yuenglings of the world usually.

I heartily agree; Bud American Ale is one product that at a few beers a week I may drink, I find as a fine product if one doesn't wish to purchase say beers costing a few dollars more.

It is interesting you mention Yuenglings, the Nation's Oldest Brewer I believe they proclaim themselves as. That was a bit like nectar to me when I visited DC, I had never had it before. I wish Yuengling was available, readily at least, across the nation. Maybe American Ale is a bit like that, I can't make enough of a taste comparison. And of course, Sam Adams certainly has it's positives as well.

Interestingly, it can be argued that Budweiser isn’t technically beer to begin with, as it mostly derived from rice, not barley. That, and people opine “Your horse has diabetes..” yuk yuk. The last 12 I bought had that distinct cardboard note goin’ on. Not a beer snob, but c’mon.

Both Yuengling and Sam Adams are lagers....

Look to your local microbrews for good ales and IPAs.

Oh, and I should mention a couple of my favorite ales:

Bear Republic Racer 5. Bear Republic is out of Sonoma County, CA.

Magic Hat #9, out of Burlington, VT.
