Wow.  While I might agree that Dominion Lager is not the pinnacle of
brewing achievement, I'd hardly classify it as 'swill'.  Dominion makes 
high-quality products and brews some very fine beers.  I also love Anchor
products and anything brewed by Sierra Nevada, but I like supporting the
local guy, too.  Besides, I'm partial to really fresh beer, on tap.

I love Dominion Ale, have been through many cases
of the Spring Bock this year, and had a chance to try the Summer Wheat at
Carlyle Grand last week.  I enjoyed it very much, though it's not as
good as the BBC's Weizen.

Michael Jackson had nothing but praise for Dominion Brewing when he was
in town last month.

Again, the lager may not be your cup o'tea, as it were, but it is certainly
not swill, either.
