You are correct in the sense that SA is an overrated beer. However, I suspect you object mostly because, similar to Guinness and their "Brilliant!" campaign, Boston Beer Co. has used advertising to turn SA into a brand for trend geeks and hipsters to latch onto. That is also correct and yes, it is annoying.
I think SA is alright and I occasionally drink it at home for variety. At any decent bar though, there are usually better options.
Sam Adams Black is excellant
Hipsters drink PBR.
Or Schafer or something else that sucks/sucked and comes in a pretty-looking can.
'Round here, we've got Utica Club for hipster purposes.
Grain Belt Premium, represent.
A Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA would have been a good choice as it's delicious, American made (local even), and drinking one would have had the same result as drinking tequilla.
That's just for people who like good cheap beer.
PBR is the hipster beer of choice around here. Coors Light/Coors has also made a bit of a surge amongst the "cool crowd." No clue why.

Didn't you know that being hip means that after you drink, you have to feel like warmed-over dog * in the morning?
Pabst and I have a... strained relationship.
Because they can't find Zima?

Coors just seemed to taste better back when you could only get it west of the Mississippi.
I was just talking with my dad about this on Saturday, and he remembers when it was a big deal for him and his college buddies to bring Coors Banquet back to MI after ski trips to Colorado. Apparently it was a significant upgrade from Old Mil at the time.
A BIG change from OM -- but are his memories of the ski trips as foggy as mine??
I'm sure that when they weren't somersaulting down the back bowls, they were busy learning that a few beers at 8,000+ feet will also knock even a well-trained flatlander on his a55.
I thought the whole White House Beer Session was a stupid PR stunt. I was really hoping that a huge "Tastes great!" - "Less Filling!" argument would break out,
Which would have been a huge improvement. And that's not meant as a compliment to Miller Lite. Bud Lite is just that flippin' awful of an excuse for beer.
