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.

Hmm. Didn't know that was one of the reasons they didn't sell coors in the
east. I brought back a huge shipment in the back of a twin beech when I did
a trip to Oklahoma once. My boss paid for it all. It was enough to just
about fill the taxi that took me to the airport.
