I do feel that beer gets the nose turned up towards it.
Give me two or three well crafted beers and a couple cigars and some great friends and I'll feel like a king.
I enjoy a good beer myself and like Vic said I don't buy it to get blasted. Every now and again I'll grab a six pack or two and add it to my stock. There is a huge difference between the water beers like miller, pbr, coors etc. and high quality micro brew. You will notice a big difference in taste and flavor.
I'm not a hater of miller, pbr or other pilsner beers. They work well in a huge pot with some onions so soak brats in.
