Sam Adams is well regarded but I've always found any of their varieties
overly bitter. But then I'm not usually into the bitter ones anyway -
Stella is more my style (or many of the other "German beer purity law"
imports). If I do go for a bitter one though, Sierra Nevada's IPA is
quite impressive.

Anyway, the further you get from Bud Light the better. That sort of
stuff had me convinced for a decade that I just simply didn't like
beer until I finally tried some proper German/Belgian ones.
