I think the Craft beer = only "good" beer crowd is the one people are speaking out against.

It's gotten to the point where Mill st, Amsterdam, Steamwhistle etc are being looked down on as too main stream.

Ill enjoy a nickelbrook (cause and effect), Granville etc but I will also enjoy a harp, Carlsberg or moosehead.
 
I prefer Red Tick beer, myself.

Yeah, that's a little ridiculous. I think when people crap on larger producers though, it's more along the lines of your Molsons, Budweisers, Millers, and Coors than anything else.

In terms of brews from "big" producers, I enjoy Heineken, Moosehead, Keith's, and Stella.

Yeah, I basically put Amsterdam, Mill St and the like on par with pretty much any craft brew out there.

But man, the big mass produced ones are awful. I remember a couple years ago, was at a TGI Fridays I think and they had a special for like 4$ tall glasses of I think it was Miller. I debated whether it was worth it to save a few dollars and get 50% more beer, and that must have been the worst beer I've ever had. Or another time I was a bar in Chicago that had like 20-30 awesome local brews on tap, and someone comes in and orders a Coors. I'm pretty sure I'm at the point where even if I was given them for free, I'm not sure I could handle the mass market beers anymore.

I know what you mean. I took in the Valentine's Day Leafs/Habs game in Montreal with my GF last year and we ended up in the Coors Light Section at the Bell Centre (it was the Leafs Nation roadtrip - tickets were already assigned). We ended up getting a couple of beers and the stuff was barely consumable. Last summer, a bachelor party was doing the same tour of the Mill Street Brewery (I've probably done it half a dozen times - it's worth it for the free beer flights at the end of the tour) as our group, and maybe half of their party didn't even drink their beers. The guys said they wanted Coors. I was flabbergasted.

Like others have said, we're not even talking about the fedora-wearing, hipster in a gentrified old brick warehouse, sipping on some hoppy pretentious ale situation here. But Amsterdam, Mill Street, Steam Whistle, etc. are legitimately good beers, and far better than any big, big beer distributor will produce.
 
If its on special and i'm being cheap ill get Coors Banquet (better than bud/canadian etc) but i wouldn't accept a coors light if it was free.
 
I've gravitated towards ciders lately, but I enjoy Steam Whistle, Creemores, and English pub beers like Boddingtons. I have no idea why these insanely hoppy IPAs are so popular. The mass produced Canadian, Blue, Coors etc are awful though, I'll agree.
 
I thought hipsters were known for drinking grandpa beer , like Labatt Blue or Molson Export?

Once all of the super-independent micro-brews become too "mainstream", that's probably where they'll gravitate to next.
 
Of course, the other side of the spectrum...the guys who only drink Busch/Bud/Coors and get offended like you think you're better than them when you order a Mill St. are just as bad.

I feel this video sums up the two pretty well:

I like hoppy beers but they're not for everyone. Like ciders which are sickeningly sweet and aren't cider cause it's ****ing strawberry flavoured.
 
Try my best to mix it up
Could be Red Stripe, Kronenberg Blanc, Modelo,Old Milwaukee the list goes on. whatever I'm in the mood for that day I'm grabbing

Root Beer is the hot item this summer. Tried a few different kinds and it's good ice cold but if you drink too many the hangover would be viscous
