Hey beer lovers — Bill here!

If you’ve ever found yourself torn between a hoppy IPA from your local brewery and a crisp domestic light beer from the cooler, you’re not alone. I’m here to say: you don’t have to choose. I love both, and I think there’s room for every kind of beer in your fridge (and in your heart).

Craft Beer: Flavor, Creativity, and Local Pride

Craft beer is where artistry meets hops. Whether it’s a hazy New England IPA, a rich coffee stout, or a funky sour, craft brewers push boundaries and create flavors that surprise and delight. I love supporting local breweries and discovering new styles — it’s like a beer adventure every time.

There’s something special about sipping a pint brewed just a few miles away, knowing the brewer probably poured their soul into it. Craft beer is bold, expressive, and often a conversation starter.

Domestic Light Beer: Easygoing, Reliable, and Refreshingly Simple

But let’s be honest — sometimes you just want a beer that’s cold, crisp, and doesn’t ask too many questions. That’s where domestic light beer shines. Whether it’s a backyard BBQ, a tailgate, or just winding down after a long day, a light lager hits the spot.

It’s familiar, it’s refreshing, and it’s always welcome. There’s no shame in cracking open a Bud Light or Miller Lite — they’ve earned their place in beer culture for a reason.

Beer Isn’t a Competition — It’s a Celebration

I say: drink what you love. Some days I want a double dry-hopped pale ale with notes of mango and pine. Other days, I want a light beer that pairs perfectly with grilled burgers and good company.

Beer is about enjoyment, not judgment. So whether you’re a craft beer connoisseur or a domestic devotee — or like me, a fan of both — raise your glass and celebrate the diversity of brews out there.

Cheers to good beer, good people, and keeping it real.
