It's not so much the stouts (which we do like quite a lot), but the rejection 
of thin, watery mega-lagers (commonly refered to as "BudMillerCoors" in brewing 
circles) that are certainly the products of tyranny and egalitarianism.

In the wonderland of distinctive beer we have here in the western US, it would 
be a shame to limit ourselves to one particular style, stout or otherwise. It 
does take a bit of work to appreciate the more assertive styles, just like it 
takes a mature palette to appreciate the more subtle styles. But I digress....

P.S. Beer tip for the day: Don't drink stout at refridgeration temperatures! 
The real character comes out when it's served around 45-55F. The same generally 
holds for most ales. HTH.
