The only time I cook with beer is for beer can chicken so we buy a cheap six pack for that and keep it in the garage. I don't like the flavor of ordinary beer for drinking, but there are a couple of local IPA's that have changed my mind. They are too expensive imo for beer can chicken however.
I think the difference in price between cheap beer and medium priced micros is around fifty cents to a dollar. I've got no problem with that if it improves the taste.
