Are you defining 'domestic' to be 'anything brewed on your home soil' or the usual American definition of 'that pisswater swill that was all we could get before microbrews popped up and made things bearable again'?

Remember, you don't buy a Bud, you just rent it.
the latter. and dont say bud...i hate that shit--almost as bad as keystone.
Hey, if you're gonna slum, do it as cheaply as you can.

i said spring because that's when it became scarce. you'd go into pik n' save or the piggly wiggly and move around the cases hoping to find that one case that got stuck behind another brand.
Well heck, since people are actually mentioning any ol beer made at home, I'll go for Rogue Dead Guy Ale. (Or 'the colon destroyer' as my brother calls it - half a bottle, his digestive system is toast for two days...)
Big Time Brewery makes a great ESB, and Pike Place Kilt Lifter Ale is a favorite.
Cooper's Sparkling Ale. Has lots of fermented sediment in the bottom of each bottle. It's creamy like you wouldn't believe. But I guess you'll never get to taste it unless you come to South Australia...
"Heave away,you rolling King,Heave away,Haul away.
Heave away, you hear me sing.. We're bound for South Australia "
I quite like the beershots. So pointedly pointless that it works.
More to the point, however, I can vouch for the quality of Quebec's microbrews. For long while, these were not easily available in Ontario - protectionism between Canadian provinces, if you can believe that - although, in Ottawa, admittedly, I could just drive across the river to pick them up. Now they can be found in our local store.
At lunch today, one of my colleagues who lived in Belgium until a few months ago said that one of the Belgian beers had been voted world's best a few years in a row. I can't remember the name, however.
Rogue (Shakespeare Stout is my favorite), Pete's Wicked Ale, and whenever I'm in Pittsburgh, Penn Pilsner.
Great Beers, especially the Shakespeare Stout. And from my area Yuengling Lager. Good Stuff, although I have the Dogfish brewery not far away, and the Independance Brewery close too.

as for the aforementioned and much slagged Bud
it just doesn't have the 70's "Isaac from Love Boat" vibe of bud light
i know summit has their octoberfest beer which is only available in the US in the fall. except for chicago, who get it year round, the bastards.
the brewery is right here and we don't even get their octoberfest beers.
i said spring because that's when it became scarce. you'd go into pik n' save or the piggly wiggly and move around the cases hoping to find that one case that got stuck behind another brand.
i'll just have to keep buying it i guess.
But my favorite American beer is the pilsner made by DeGroens
As may be evident I like kraut beer.
I would like to try all of their brews, but even in DC they're hard to find.

Yeah, I'm a hophead.
