Since everyone has pretty much covered all the other angles on this, I'll just mention this -

I don't think you should ever want to start experimenting with something new while having that kind of attitude. Don't get me wrong, there are far, far nicer beers out there than stuff like Coors, Bud, Carling and Heineken, but on the flip side there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. If they're not to your taste then fine, but instantly acting like a beer snob is probably not the best way to start off.

Even if you become a beer connoisseur it's probably still best not to act like that.
