beer snobs who think that anything that isn't a super extra double dry hopped IPA isn't beer.
This person doesn't exist.
I've never been given shite for drinking a Miller. I have been given shite for drinking a sour or some other weird craft beer.

Are there really people looking down on you for liking stouts? Like real life stuff?
I know that the IPA craze is strong now and that's mostly what gets talked about on this board, but I didn't realize it was this bad

I guess it's not so much for drinking stouts as much for not drinking IPA's. When at brewery's or places and I get a stout I occasionally get how do you drink that stuff?? Or people look at me like I'm crazy when I say I really don't like hoppy beer.
But my main problem is the market doesn't cater much to this taste anymore, and it's gotten frustrating. The specialty beer shop I go to has about 2 shelves of solid porters and stouts and about 3 walls of IPA's. I live right by great raft, and while I love their work...especially OMJ... I don't even follow their releases anymore....Now releasing an absurdly hoppy side lot series....this special series is our _______ but we added 4 times the hops!!! Oh and that southern drawl you used to like to drink on a hot day.... WE DRY HOPPED IT!!! I don't get how you can enjoy the stuff, but everyone has their thing.... I just wish my thing was more well supported.....

We need to band together.
And hell, stouts are usually the strongest beers, so tell them to put their big boy pants on and join you in a barrel aged stout.
I have a theory that there is a genetic thing with how IPAs taste to some people. When I drink one, that taste lingers and I want to scrape it off my tongue. Perhaps that's how they're supposed to taste, but it's not really pleasant.

Although we acknowledge the universality of the goodness (sweet) or badness (bitter) of basic taste qualities, we also find that people differ, sometimes extremely so, in their ability to perceive and enjoy these qualities and, by extension, food and drink. The reasons for these differences among people are not clear but are probably due to a combination of experience beginning at an early age, perhaps in utero; learning, for example, as with conditioned taste aversions; sex and maturity; and perceptual differences that arise from genetic variation.

There's nothing wrong with a good stout.
I love barleywines... but they seem to be trending out as well.

The "i dont know how you drink that" look or "omg is the a milk shake" comment, when you order a stout is the worst. Don't worry about what is in my cup

That would suck, because I too love them. I prefer the more malty varieties. Picked up a bunch of the central waters brewers reserve BBA barleywine, which I love, and the Goose Island BBA barleywine is fantastic as well. Not too familiar with other good options to try.
My Central Waters clocks in at 15th best barleywine in this list. It's even better after a year or two of aging.

15. Central Waters Barleywine City: Amherst, WI ABV: 11.5% The verdict: Okay, now here’s a barrel-aged barleywine that is much closer to what the typical beer geek has probably come to expect from the phrase “bourbon barrel-aged barleywine.” The nose is massively whiskey-forward, and Paste editor Josh Jackson described it as the best aromatics of any beer on the table that day. On the palate, the booze flavors are clean but very assertive—this one is a whiskey showcase for sure. There is, however, also some nice dark maltiness present, with more toasted malt and even cocoa quality, and correspondingly less of the dark fruitiness than in some of the other barrel-aged examples. No one would describe this one as balanced … it’s more like the neat whiskey-drinker’s barleywine. Thankfully, we’ve got a few of those at Paste.

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot is never a bad option.
Here I enjoy Parish's Grand Reserve... as far as I know it's the only local barleywine (unless Abita has one). I picked up a barleywine from Wiseacre over the weekend that I still need to try as well.

Saint Arnolds has put out some great ones but they don't do it with any regularity. I was lucky to pick up a few 20th anivys while living in mecca. Bishop Barral 18 (out not) is an Oatwine and is pretty tasty if you don't mind the sweetness. For sure a dessert beer.
SA nees to bring back the 20th and their Quad that a DR.
Grand Reserve doesn't get the credit deserves. It is a fantastic beer.
