who needs beer when you have a nice bottle of Bacardi?
I like both my beer and my rum(dark) and I have a few things to say about them. America has several mid-sized national brewers that make good stuff (Sam Adams and Yuengling come to mind) and a very wide selection of microbrewery offerings. Part of the problem is the that the larger brewers tend to produce beverages that one would judge as closer to swill if they weren't so watery. The second issue is a drinking culture that very heavily focused on quantity with no regard to quality in some circles. To my non-American compatriots I would like to offer a warning. If offer some Natural Ice (aka Natty Ice or just plain Natty) it is advised that you run screaming from the room and don't stop running till you pass out from exhustion. The stuff is for all intents and purposes, fermented rat **** and is lethal to those who are not acustomed to it. In regard to rum, dark is better and Bacardi is generally smoother than Captain Morgan's (which should be mixed with coke).

you mean Oro? Tasty thing I say aswell
captain morgan's is a bit rough, but I still manage to drink it straight.
I like to savor the drink's taste without no additives, xcept ice and maybe a slice of lemon or lime.
as for the beer part, I don't contest that the beers might be good, it's just that I hate beer in general.
*fetches hi-resist flame coat*
Some people just don't care for beer. I think its mostly because they haven't tried the good stuff, but I'm not going to go on a crusade about it. Tbh I have not tried Bacardi Oro yet, only Select, on which I base my opinion. Good dark rum is probably the most flavorful of all the hard liquors, with strong molasses undertones that make it unique. I definetly agree that good dark rum should be served straight or with minimal additions. The same goes for scotch, whoose smokey quality must be preserved.
Another posted mentioned problems getting cider in the US. It is not typically offered in bars, but you can find it at a decent supermarket or a specialty store.
