Suggest you have a Sam Adams. You'll change your tune. (And while it's not my favorite "micro brew" beer their quality has been relatively consistent for a couple of decades).

About Theakstons: after my tour of the Lake District, and a memorable afternoon at a Theakston's pub (late 80's), I have a special place in my taste buds for that particular family of ales, and their Old Peculiar.
And of course, Guinness is in a class by itself. I just don't have one after a hot afternoon of yardwork; it's very much "a pint at the pub with friends" kind of choice.
