I like Unrivaled better than All Day.
Yeah, there is something to be said about the difference between drinking lots of cheap beer as opposed to drinking and enjoying a good beer that costs a little more. Getting a buzz from the better beer feels more worth it!Oh, and today, I just feel awesome. No macroswill "hangover" or chemical fog.
I am never drinking that crap again. If I cannot afford a better beer, I will just wait till I can...
That Founders All Day is solid too, lighter than normal IPAs, and I found the experience more of a sipping enjoyment than pounding bottles of Bud or Coors Light just to feel something. Really, it's night and day.
+1 for Wormtown.Several very good breweries -- I'm not sure whether to call them microstills or not -- have popped up in the Worcester area in the last 10 years. My favorites are the IPAs produced by these, most especially Wormtown brewery. They have a "Don't Worry" and a "Be Hoppy" IPA, both yummy. Be Hoppy's pretty well known.
Anyway, as Fro said, Woody, try 'em and find what you like.
Personally, I'm not into the craft "sour" beer trend. Can't stand 'em actually. But I'm sure you can find local microbrews that you like.
Lately, I've been drinking one from Yuengling (which is only about an hour from me here in PA!) called Lord Chesterfield Ale. Doesn't cost too much, has a little more fullness than Yuengling Lager (almost as if you were heading from the Lager toward an IPA style).
Actually, Yuengling has been a go-to for me when I want to try various styles. They make a good Porter as well as do a limited run of Hershey's chocolate, which features slightly bitter chocolate flavor from the cocoa nibs in the brewing.

I think you're selling it a bit short... But that being said, I do prefer Shiner Bock, I must admit.Yuengling Lager was first introduced in the DFW area last month. It is being made in Ft Worth under the strict supervision of Yuengling. I'm a sucker for anything I haven't tasted so... It's an American commercial type tasting beer.
+1Modelo Especial. Try it, it's really nice!! Not expensive at all. I just loaded 24 into the fridge!!

Being in New England, you're not far from Heady Topper country, which might be the best east coast IPA I've tried by a very narrow margin.My favorite local brewery out of Worcester is Greater Good. Their Greylock and Wooo! are Imperial IPAs at 12% and 10% abv. Very flavorful. Mikey likes it!
This is a classic heavy bodied hazy IPA, and legendary because of its limited production.Being in New England, you're not far from Heady Topper country, which might be the best east coast IPA I've tried by a very narrow margin.
Going to Portland Maine the first weekend of November to (finally) visit my mom's 96 year old baby sister. Portland has so many good microbreweries, and our hotel is just down the street from the Maine Beer Company, which has my second and third favorite east coast IPAs
The guy that runs my local beer distributor always asks me to bring back some bombers of the Dinner, because it's impossible to get here on Long Island.
