Not a horrible beer selection for a big chain restaurant. Not good either but I've seen worse. I enjoy much craft beer as well but you can't expect every place you go to carry them. Drink those at home or go to better restaurants.

Also, I like beer in general so the big name brews don't bother me. I'd rather have a nice craft brew but I'd also much rather drink say a Budweiser than not have beer at all.

I can't name any off the top of my head, I avoid chains like some fell plague. When I do find myself at one though I don't ever expect the beverage selection to be very good, or even the food for that matter.

And it isn't only chains that don't stock decent beer, I've been to a ton of family/locally owned dives that only have your standard Bud, Miller, and Coors. They prob have a Modelo or Sam Adams in there for the fancy folk, but not much. Thats just how it is, like I said deal with it. If you don't like it then stop giving them your money and go to restaurants and bars that you feel are worth your money. You aren't entitled an extensive alcohol selection everywhere you go. If your friends having a birthday or some shit at Olive Garden then for the love of god stop being an insufferable taint and drink a Newcastle if you have to have beer.

I'm a sort of snob as well. Nobody likes an entitled snob. Suck it up, drink a shitty beer and keep your fucking mouth shut. And deal with it.

Authenticity is the relevant issue when you're saying that beer doesn't pair well with the food because it's from a culture that mostly drinks wine. If it's not authentic, then it's possible that beer will go well with it. As it happens, it's also really bad, but that doesn't go to the question of beer or wine, except insofar as you want lots of it because the food is shitty.
