In some circles, what is the point of claiming to be the best of some
narrow band? It's like Budweiser claiming to be "The King of Beers". To
my palate, it's at or near the bottom of a large collection of American
'beers'. Now, if you had some Left-Hand Sawtooth available, that would
have no American competition in the Amber Ale category.

Coors managed to produce one of the worst available drinks, Coors Lite
(!!), but then also made Killian's Red, which was perfectly acceptable.
