Local-? you got me.
You have to have Guiness a few times and it starts to grow on you. I don't care for the regular beers like Miller, Bud, or any of the lighter beers. Once you get hooked on the heavier beers, the reds, darks, and bocks, the other stuff just tastes like water. Coors is probably the worst of the regular beers, it really has no taste to it.
