Personally I drink both beer and wine.

I tend to look at the lower rating of beer in the same way I look at people's generally problem with boxed wine: it is simply a misconception based on outdated preconceptions of the quality and general "pleb" connotations of one or the other.

There is nothing wrong with wine that comes in a box. It just so happens that boxed wine is generally of a lesser quality than that which comes in a bottle with a real cork. But this is slowly changing.

With beer, on the other hand, people are generally realizing that there is a vast variety of good beer, and good beer is being produced in exponential quantities every single year.

I would personally recommend the book, "The Brewmaster's Table" (pic related). It is an amazing overview of the different styles of beers with tasting notes and suggestions on food pairings. (And Garrett Oliver, the Brew master for Brooklyn Brewery is awesome.)
