Hey, them's fightin' words.
We got gallons of non-piss-water beer in the USA. In my wee rural
home-county in the backwoods of Northern Cal there are handfuls of
breweries, and each of them usually makes AT LEAST a couple of pale
ales, a stout, a porter, and an amber brew or two. So if you don't
want to drink piss, get thee to a brewery and order yourself a pint.
You won't be paying 47¢ a can (closer to $3 a pint)... but you won't
be drinking piss-water, either. It's your choice. This is a land of
choices.
Coffee and everything else, is the same way.
When in Amerika, don't follow the masses... follow the
counter-classes. If you don't like pisswater, and you earn more than
minimum wage, you can buy something potable.
Fuck the mall-ifying and superstore-a-sizing...
Buy local. Eat & drink well. It can be done.
You just gotta think outside the Walmart box.

PS. Were you headed to So Cal? off the top:

and more:

that ought to get you started.
If you must bash American ales,
please make sure to first sample the full range available...
