<Forgive me -- I'm feeling radical today.  Flame on!>

So the major American breweries are good at producing what the US
beer-drinking public wants?  Big deal!  In the land of white bread, the
Cheetoh, and Donkey Kong Jr. breakfast cereal, we should all have
realized by now that what the general public usually wants is crap.

In food and drink, as in many other aspects of life, there are two
things that make this country a decent place to live: artsy-fartsy
pseudo-intellectual borrowings from other cultures, and the deep roots
of America's regional diversity.  Give me a good imported beer or a
Shiner Bock, either one, and I'll be happy, but don't expect me to
drink that aluminum-flavored yellow fizzwater that most people here
call beer!
