I really enjoy my beer. Really.
Of course, I never drink the stuff you find in the supermarket, which is merely an "ethanol delivery vehicle" in the words of the owner of a large brewery I once talked to. Cheaply made (although with outstanding QC), heavily advertised, and bland beyond words.
The beer I make myself, OTOH, is absolutely fresh, made with the highest quality ingredients, and full of flavor, despite being relatively low in alcohol. The beer I buy is either from microbreweries and brewpubs in this country, or else a very high quality import from Belgium, Germany, or the UK.
Typically, I'll have one before dinner, that will last through most of the meal, and usually another afterward. Occasionally, a third later in the evening.
