Quite true. Even within the US there's a grass is greener mentality that
views the beer from a couple of states over as some sort of nectar of the
gods while the locals wouldn't wash their cars with it.

Yes I remember when Coors wasn't available right of Texarkana and we in
Arkansas thought it was the nectar of the gods.

As a side note when Arkansas did get Coors it was still unpasteurized
(or what ever process they now use to let it be shipped warm) and was
shipped refrigerated. I first saw it in a Safeway here on a big display
sitting in front of the west facing window. Word is the entire display
went bad pretty quick.
