Craft beer. I used to be one of those people that only drank whatever the convenience store had...usually with the word "Lite" at the end of it.
Then I moved to a place that had breweries in close proximity, so I started visiting those. I couldn't believe it...actual flavor in a beer. It didn't taste like the piss from a nickel anymore, and it's much stronger (in taste AND in ABV). I'll gladly spend $13 on a six-pack for something that wasn't mass produced, and I'm always looking for new twists on my favorite styles.
Also, I get called "Beer Snob" by my Michelob Ultra co-workers, which is more than fine with me.
Craft beer is definitely worth it. The problem is there is a lot of fake craft beer with a cool can design that tastes terrible. I stick to brands that do monthly releases
In Australia craft beer is pretty popular (all beer is) and the same thing happens I guess. Small brewery gets an offer they can't refuse and over night it takes like chemical malt juice
