No arguing SAM makes some great beer & ale, but then so does Pete's, as well as those from Redhook, Killians, brew pubs up and down the street, and for that matter, anyone who wants to brew as a hobby. Truth be told, anyone who wants to brew their own beer can do it and if they can follow a recipe, can do a good job. My .02 on SAM is ...yes, the product is great, but I will continue to "invest" in increments of $5.99 (for a rack of Sam Adams or Boston Ale :-)
BTW, Mike, my favorite "macro-brew" is Rolling Rock :-) And a very good premium lager is Three Stooges beer! No I am not kidding: 3stoogesbeer.com Woo Woo Woo! :-) Check out this PR from the website!

Curly and the Three Stooges Stun Their
Competitors
Curly's Light named "Best Lager" at prestigious industry
competition
WESTWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS, NOVEMBER 18, 1998 -- In a stunning upset
befitting the antics of The Three Stooges themselves, Curly's Light took first prize for
"Best Lager" at this year's Great Northeast Beer and Cider competition held recently
in Providence, Rhode Island. Beating established competitors from fashionable
microbrews to industry giants, this newly introduced light beer shocked industry
participants and judges alike.
Panther Brewing Company of Westwood, MA which makes both Curly's Light and The
Three Stooges Beer, entered the light lager into the blind taste test, and it was
deemed best of class by a panel of 30 brewers and industry professionals. To the
attendees surprise, Curly's Light beat out Boston Beer Company's Samuel Adams
Boston Lager and Castle Springs' Lucknow Munich-Style Lager, which came in
second and third respectively. Final results for all categories in the competition will be
posted on the Internet at www.lovecraft.com.
"This is an important win for us," said Dewey Parsons, president of Panther Brewing
Company. "It shows that fun and great beer are not mutually exclusive."
The Great Northeast Beer and Cider Competition drew a total of 130 entries in nine
categories. A panel made up of professional brewers and industry journalists from
across the country judged the entrants as an estimated crowd of 5,000 sampled the
many fine beers and ciders.
Panther Brewing Company is located in Westwood, Massachusetts. Their products,
including The Three Stooges Beer and Curly's Light, are distributed at bars,
restaurants, and retailers throughout New England, Minnesota, Florida, and Kentucky.
Further expansion will soon include New York and Ohio. For more information on
