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.
If I recall correctly, Stella doesn't taste very much, but I can be wrong.
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.
Yeah, I agree. It was the same for me. Flying Dog has a very nice kind of beer, Barley Wine. It has quite high alcohol strength. There's a Swedish brewery, Nils Oscar, that has a very nice Barley Wine as well. Unfortunately these Barley Wines seem quite hard to get here. I need to special order them. They also have a beer called Ctrl Alt Delete :)
