Again Government intervention by well-meaning liberals ruined things. Fortunately and unusually in that case, law was undone (sort of...if you ignore the unnecessary ATF tax organization).
I agree with many here. I would pretty much only drink Sam from the US. Guinness, Becks Dark, Grolsh, et al, were the only things interesting.
Today, I wouldn't waste a minute with a mainstream European beer. Sam, Dogfish Head, Southern Tier, Clown Shoes, Grittys...on and on and on...even mainstream Leinies... are far superior to anything but the best Belgians. Guinness is a fall back. Innis and Gunn is awesome, but far more expensive than just as good or better Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. Beer snobs, just like wine snobs are passe, and need to get up to speed with engaged, driven capitalistic change. Dump the dated predispositions and morbid America beer bashing. We are back!
Weisse/wheat/white beers have become very popular. Wish I liked them, but prefer regular barley & rye malt beers, particularly dark ones.
Another great is a Black-O-Lantern - a black and tan with a pumpkin ale. Even nicer with a little vanilla vodka in it, as is a basic pumpkin ale. Smooths out the flavor beautifully.
Shipyard's Smashed Pumpkin is popular here. Pumple Drumkin (Cisco) is great too.

When I was ~25 My buddy and I drank like 100 Grolsch's over the summer and swiped the bottles (nice stopper types) to make our own beer. No time for that now. However presently, I am drinking the larger bottles to happily support another friend-brewer who wants to reduce the number of bottles to wash/fill. Hope to get a few in exchange. It is a little like having a friend with a boat, being better than having a boat.
If you and DB, or any other Gulchers make it to New England, I will happily host a beer tasting!
However, in my beer drinking days, living in Detroit, (when it was the envy of the country not the disgrace) and being across the river from Canada, I had the opportunity to taste many Canadian beers. I found the best to be local Detroit brews such as Stroh's and E&B. That was until Coors made it into Michigan. Ah, those were the days.
Also made excellent ice cream. High in butter-fat.
Robbie, you need to come out to Boston!
Of the 3 TV's on sports, the big one is showing a non-local hockey game, and the other two small TV's are showing the local baseball team.
Personally I got disenchanted with hockey when the North Stars went to Dallas. C'mon, hockey in Dallas? Just not right.
I finished one. By the middle of my second one the room grew dark and sort of started spinning.
My concerned barkeep asked "Are you OK?"
I replied: "I shink dis bea isz a logo schtonger tha I'm uszed ta."
He laughed.
7% alcohol by volume....
