I'm sure this has been discussed but I couldn't find anything recent and tastes change, so I thought I'd ask. I recently read somewhere that a person referred to themselves as a beer geek, not a beer snob and I liked that. I'd put myself in that category. I don't trash on anything that someone else likes just because it isn't my preference. American Adjunct Lagers don't get much love from craft beer drinkers and some people use fairly derogatory terms about what's in the beer or the type of people who drink those beers (I've never seen that on B&B, but other forums).
Right now, I'm really enjoying Coors Banquet. In fact, I have no problem saying I like it better than any basic lagers I've tried at local craft breweries. My experience with the craft breweries is they try to add... something? (unusual flavors, more hops, etc.) to the basic lager and more often than not, it doesn't work for me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to stop trying everything new that comes out from my favorite craft breweries, but I have no problem keeping a few cans of Coors or other macro adjunct lagers in my fridge (especially over the summer).
