36. Goose Island is pretty good beer, but Blue Moon/Shock Top suck.

I like craft beer, but I also think Bud and Miller have their roles. Some people don't want to explore different tastes in beer, and that's fine. I'm different, but I also know that when I'm low on money I certainly enjoy a six-pack of Miller Lite.

Budweiser, Miller, and PBR are Union-made beers as well. So if you're gonna buy cheap domestic, do that. Just don't buy anything made by Coors.
