American beer is usually the butt of jokes around the world, but there are some really good beers. On a consumer level, I like many Sam Adams offerings. There are some good craft breweries. I met a guy who worked at Buckeye Brewing and gave me a Martian Marzen Lager. Pretty good stuff.

All the Unibroue stuff is wicked!
Generally yes, but I'm not a fan of Blanche de Chambly at all.
Most people who try these beers spit them out. It's like wine, an acquired taste. I used to hate beer until I started trying all these different things. Now if somebody offers me a lame beer (Bud, Girls-lite (Coors-lite), Blue, etc.) I'd rather just have a softdrink).
I recently tried some of this, due to a sign they had in the pub: "What's the matter Lagerboy, afraid you might taste something?"
