Beer Snobbery in all its forms

[ipaisay2.0]

I support well crafted creativity "in all its forms".

Food, beer, music, entertainment, etc.

When you support creativity you support a positive future. When you are not supporting creativity, you are supporting a future of destruction.

Now, go enjoy a homebrew!

if someone handed you a glass of natural light and told you it was a craft brewed german light lager you would like it

I still have taste buds, man. whether it's craft or not.

Beer snob. Hmmmm......

To me it's about what's in the bottle. Not the cute frogs or the clothing drive, or even the clydesdales. All that counts is what's in the bottle.

But if you use screw cap bottles you automatically lose two points .

Sierra Nevada came in screw caps, until recently.

Anyway, I like Bud, but not enough to pay for it.

I don't consider myself to be a beer snob. I won't drink anything from BMC because it's bad beer--not because I'm a snob. Also, I don't drink their products because they've forced many small breweries out of business. (I'm glad AB got its payback from InBev.)

I'm not ashamed to admit that I like Yuengling lager. Yeah..it's a mass produced lager, but it has some flavor and goes great when I have hot wings.

I drink Sam Adams too. It's not cutting edge like it used to be, but you can find it almost anywhere in a pinch to get you through.

I hope I'd be astute enough to think that it was really bad craft brewed German light lager.

This is a silly discussion. If you engage in any "beer X is better than that beer Y" discussions because 1) the relative sizes of the breweries, 2) who has partial ownership, 3) who helps with distribution, 4) beer X has "more" flavor or alcohol than beer Y - then you are a beer snob.

I buy and drink beer because I like the flavor of it. I like the diversity of beer flavors and apreciate that there is a time and a place for almost every beer. While I love a good RIS, I certainly am not going to drink it in the 100+ degree heat of summer. I usually don't give a crap about who brews it - with the exception that I try to support my local guys every chance I get. However, my local guys have their share of crappy examples of a particular style - or flavors that I don't care for. So I stick to the styles of theirs that I find the best. Others have their own favorites, and I respect that.

Every beer has a perfect moment.

My brother assures me that a Corona is perfect on the beach at Cancun. Personally, I don't care for Corona and have never been to Cancun, but I believe him.

A Coors after mowing the lawn is particularly refreshing.

Since Bud is made with rice (as is most Japanese mega beers), I've always thought it went well with sushi.

I won't walk out of a restaurant if they don't have craft beer. And I certainly won't tell someone who hands me a beer that because they have poor taste in beer they must have a small penis.
