I won’t come in here and say I don’t like homebrew. I’ve already gotten scolded for it, once. 😉 But I can’t say I get the point of beer. However, one of my coworkers, now she could sympathize with you. ---

I can get Fat Tire in almost every market here in NorCal. I enjoy it greatly, but its not my favorite. My all-time favorites in order: 1. Gambrinus 2. Staroprammen 3. Heineken 4. Fat Tire 5. Pilsner Urquell 6. Corona (only with a lime - anything else is masturbation) rankings get murkey after this point 7. 'merican brews ---
