I like Blue Moon for what it is. Expand your horizons just a bit and you'll see Coors is doing a phenomenal job with its fake 'Sandlot Brewery' and Blue Moon is just a typical Belgian White Ale.
Belgian Whites are unfiltered, light-bodied wheat ales made with Noble hops, citrus peel and spices like anise, cinnamon and coriander. Meant to be enjoyed with a fruit wedge.

Sound Familiar?

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.

Drafthouses like the Flying Saucer (southeast US) have over 200 types of beer on tap/in bottles, chilled and ready for enjoyment. I think they offer $40 belgians all the way down to PBR. Surprisingly enough barely anyone buys the cheap shit because there is just no way you can't enjoy having so much power to choose at your fingertips.

At a regular bar I'd expect it, because no bar is going to go out of their way to possibly hurt margins by stocking up on stuff no one wants. If you are a bartender I recommend getting a few six packs of something unique and letting people try them on a special. See if it bites, and have some more in the following weeks not on special and see if people stick with it, then decide if it's worth stocking up on it to bring something unique and flavorful into an otherwise drab and depressing world of piss water. Who knows.. could be a new surprising part of the business!

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
