OK, then let me modify that - "done the impossible and produces an American beer that is drinkable while at the same time being able to sell it effectively enough that it is easily found across a broad range of locales".
Because whenever I order a beer in the States, all that is available on tap is the same mass-market swill. Otherwise it's something imported and bottled - though that usually ends up being preferable.
