I'm also curious about this. What makes it "good" (other than things like "I like it", or it comes from a manufacturer with a good reputation, etc.)
Is it just that the ethanol is accompanied with other non-active ingredients that somehow change the body's response?
Beer is essentially the chemical element of ethanol plus water and "other stuff" from the ingredients and brewing process. If that water and "other stuff" is of low quality, that makes me sick and can't drink it.
Basically: Beer that makes me sick to drink = low quality. Beer that makes me feel good = good quality.
