Draft beers at a local pub

This is just my personal taste, but I'd avoid:

And go for first:

These are just "eh" beers:

The rest I either haven't had in awhile or don't know.

Not only don't drink it, actually flee the room when you see it. Bad.

Excellent stuff. Go for this one first.

Nitro? Why would they screw up one of the best stouts in the world with nitro? That's a freakin' crime. The Dead Guy is pretty good and, if you're a coffee fan, you'll like the Mocha Porter. Shame about the stout, really is one of the best things around.

Bleah.

Good stuff. Was pleasantly surprised.

One of the classics of the style, but the Red Seal (same style) is IMO better.

A pretty standard American Wheat, which generally means boring as hell (and does in this case). Not that much going on.

Now, that is the first time in over a year that you've liked something and I've thought "WTF?" I thought the Export Ale was ass-wash, perhaps their worst beer.

Hrm. Recall it being a decent, nutty/malty British ale of sorts, and was pleasantly surprised after the less-than-pleasant experience I had with their Fuggles. Then again, I recall you think WWS 23 was as good as the

Dude. I had WWS 23 on draft, a pint of it. Believe you me, it was freakin' tasty.

Fruit beer. Bleh.

If fresh, very, very good.

Mediocre, but not bad, Belgian wit-style beer (actually brewed by Coors)

Wow, you've not had Guinness? That's refreshing, in a way. Quintessential dry stout. Light-bodied, creamy, roasty flavor. Decent-enough beer, but there are many stouts that are better.

That's still around? Easily skippable.

Nice beer. Straddles a line between amber and pale ale, depending on how malty one thinks either style should be. Nice balance of hoppiness and maltiness.

Bland, bland, bland.

Boring, boring, boring.

OK. Malty-ish.

Better.

Really good. Although, being Rogue, you better like hops.

Unfairly knocked by many beer geeks. Nice, balanced beer. Not one I'm going to run out and hunt down, but one I'm not disappointed with if that's what I have to choose from.

Eh. Hope you like flavors reminiscent of corn.

Outstanding. The textbook American pale ale. Definitely try.

See Hefeweizen, Pyramid.

This is my standby... It's reasonably easy to find as an option to Budmillercoors in bars, and it's what Budmillercoors SHOULD be (and even better beers as the "other" the way Sam is now).

That said though, it's better fresh, so even Sam can be a little disappointing at times.

HUH? Look, I've only had a HopDevil, a Jever and a Heavyweight Lunacy Grand Cru, so I *should* be able to figure this sentence out...

Sorry. What I mean is that rather than have budmillercoors as the beers in every bar with Sam as the best chance at something good ALSO available, I wish it was stuff like Sam as the beers in every bar, and even better stuff (pick your favorite micro or craft beer) was the "other" (better) choice.

I wrote almost exactly the same thing before reading your comments. Strange.
