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:

that ought to get you started.

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