  It depends on the state. In oakland California where I live the grocers have phenomenal selections of craft beers. But in Oklahoma City where I used to live the grocery stores can only sell beer with at most a negligible amount of alcohol so even the good grocers have at best Dos Equis and Bud. If you want real beer you have to go to a liquor store or if there's a session beer you really like you have to tell the beer buyer where to get it because they aren't on the state approved list of shitty industrial beers.

  > If people are still drinking Coors and Budweiser and wondering if there's more to life, that's their own problem. It is not all about taste. Marking is 50% of it. For example Pabst Blue Ribbon is an amazing story. It went from cheap crap beer people cooked with to hipster signature within 5 years or so. It is the same crap but marketing turned it into cool "awesome" drink that every tight-jean, flippy-hair, messenger-bag carrying self-respecting hipster would want. Or was 3 years ago and now they are drinking something else... Anyway, a lot of it was due to very clever marketing, product placement and sponsorship.
