I hear ya on the selections here. I'm not an every day beer drinker, and really not every week or month. I tend to enjoy it more in the summer months. So I'm not going to a LOT of effort if I can find a few that I like, locally. Such as Sam Adams.. or some of the others I haven't tried yet.
I liked Amstel light ok, but it didn't really impress me that much. But I am trying as much as possible, from what's available.
Variety is the spice of life.
I Found that out with cigars. The old adage about trying cigars, that the next one you try, might be your favorite is true. Same goes for beer, IMO.

(Might have to ice them down yourself, but you really don't want to be drinking many of these and driving back home anyway.)
Other option: 1. Memphis. 2. Travel for work or pleasure.
Especially if you get to D. C.--go to the Brickskeller.
(And all of the states that surround us have much better selections because their alcohol levels are much higher.)
Just another quest. I am a complete-ist, not obsessive/compulsive.
