Ever tried the seasonal Honeymoon, or Wintermoon?

I'll second this. If you enjoy Blue Moon and haven't tried these seasonals, give 'em a whirl.

I've also found that people looking to branch out from the standard Miller, Bud, Coors etc really enjoy:

Still has a light taste but a bit more distinctive than your standard 3.

Hot off the press from Reuters (allegedly):

Budweiser will only be used to water the pitch at Wembley, FA assures fans

After announcing that Budweiser will sponsor the FA Cup as of next year, the Football Association has assured supporters that they will never be exposed to a single drop of the stuff.

The initial announcement filled fans with the fear that Budweiser would be the only low-quality alcoholic beverage available at matches during next year’s competition, causing angry scenes which forced the governing body to react by calling an emergency press conference.

“I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and calm down,” FA chairman David Bernstein told the conference. “Nobody will be drinking Budweiser.”

“We would never allow this vile American lager pass the lips of anyone in our stadia because we know that our fans would rather be exposed to bean sprouts from Germany.”

“I’m afraid, however, that everyone will still have to make do with likes of Carling and even Tuborg,” he added, “and there’s still no escaping those awful plastic cups.”

Practical use

The FA chairman moved to further allay those anxieties by insisting that the sponsor’s product will only be put to more practical and industrial uses, including watering the pitch and general cleaning purposes.

“It’s not something we wanted to do but they were offering so much money that we just couldn’t refuse,” Bernstein continued, “which unfortunately means that the stuff will be in the cisterns and it will also be running all through the drains.”

“So if you happen to smell anything odd in the toilets – don’t blame your friends, blame the Budweiser.”

You mean anyone with taste? and an opinion that differs from you? Such a small angry world you must live in. QQ

I culled it from http://newsthump.com/ which is a UK version of the Onion. Some of the articles are good, some not so - and it might appeal more to Brits anyway.

I am also curious as to your definition of a beer snob. Simply someone that refuses to drink Miller/Bud/Coors in favor of more expensive beer?

I don't like paying for something I won't enjoy. That's called efficiency not snobbery.

I pay attention to flavors and the construction of a beer because I LOVE the complexity of it even when a beer may have as few as 3 or 4 ingredients.

The Big 3 don't offer any complexity or uniqueness, not to mention any flavor, that I would want to purchase.

I can't imagine a beer snob as someone that would go so far as to be someone that specifically purchased a beer because of where or how it was made, but if that's what he's referring to then I can kind of agree.
