This is very true. Over here, it's more about disliking domestic lager rather than disliking lager period. Unfortunately, the price of a semi-decent lager is likely to involve selling a limb or three, whereas a decent ale is generally cheaper, and more proliferate, than your average pint of generic shite.
I've been drinking Cumberland down the local this eve. I forget the brewery.
