(Just as if you are Dutch, Heineken is a domestic beer, and if you are Irish, Guinness is a domestic beer.) Some people are a little slow to notice, but the American beer scene has improved RADICALLY over the last 20 years! Um, if you are American, then Sierra Nevada IS a domestic beer!

Look at it this way Bud can be the old gray mare of beers which we slaughter and sell to the Belgians when we tire of it while SNPA is a wild mustang that lives free as the spirit of America. You can cry a little at the imagery. I did. Maybe ‘domestic’ is short for ‘domesticated’ which is about as exciting as any of the majors get.

It’s a crock, ain’t it?" Being a snob doesn't come cheap. “So if a bar is offering $2 domestic bottles and you order an SNPA, they’ll claim it isn’t a domestic, even though as you mention, it is brewed domestically.

Domestics are only the mega-massed produced pilsners such as Bud, Miller, Coors, etc. So if a bar is offering $2 domestic bottles and you order an SNPA, they’ll claim it isn’t a domestic, even though as you mention, it is brewed domestically. It’s a crock, ain’t it? Thanks for commenting, Dan Hi Ed,

I thought to would give it a read. Question: Isn't SNPA a domestic beer? I thought it was made in California. Did I miss something? It is good to hear that customer service hasn't shipped out with NAFTA. On a canoe/fishnig trip to the boundary waters with some buddies of mine we made a stop at the Lenie Lodge in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The tour was excellent and the staff so friendly I actually changed my beer of choice to the The Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing brands! Dan:

Fresh, in a salad or as a garnish, is really the only proper way to serve it. As for your dislike of mushrooms and affinity for watered-down beer, well, I'm afraid your taste buds are fixated in an adolescent stage of development, i.e., you're in a suspended state of "this tastes icky"-ness. Don't blame yourself. Either due to genetic or biological deficiencies (experts really aren't sure which) some people don't experience the refinement in tastes that most adults develop in maturity. People of this type are known to bring Ring Dings and Pepsi as a gift to a dinner party. It's sad, sure, but most are able to cope with the shame and go on to live a reasonably productive life. Glad I could help, Dan MB

Many A-B products are scrupdillyicious. I guess you might also look down your nose(s) at my dislike for mushrooms and canned spinach as well. I suffer not from “domestic watered-down beer” guilt.

I have also recently discovered Amber Bock, so perhaps I can give 1554 a whirl as well. Holy crapski, I may become a beer geek yet! AnonCom would be so proud. If he ever comes back... Thanks, Gish.
