re: What's the OT's opinion on beer snobs?

Mmm, mmm bitch

I've never tasted piss, so I wouldn't know what to compare it to.


ETA When I said at least I'm not a dick about it, that's the exact kind of response I was thinking of. Congrats.

So, Portland or Bend?

I'll drink a good to great beer on occasion and my dad thinks Corona is a fancy beer but I'll be darned if my go to beer for most purposes isn't Bud Light.

Water beer used to be great after mowing a lawn or playing softball in 100 degree heat

I've had my share of cheap beer as a kid too. Back then I didn't have the experiences that I have now; trying darker beers and slowly started learning that beer can actually be a decent-tasting drink versus a cheep way to get drunk.

Now when I go back and drink the cheap stuff it just doesn't taste good. The OP argues that people who like spending more on beer are somehow "wrong" for liking better-quality beer. The same logic could be applied to people who buy luxury/fully-loaded automobiles, spend more money on better cuts of steak.

To me he sounds like he either A) drinks too much to be able to afford decent beer or B) hasn't even tried other beers (the consummate Brand-Man).

if you think a sam adams drinker is a snob, then oh man

it's the need to elevate one's palate.

going from Mcd's to Tsunami is obvious, Mcd's to 5 guys is less obvious

I would consider the main three (by volume) are Anheuser-Busch Inc., Miller/Coors, and Pabst. I don't like IPAs, the Honkers Ale isn't too bad.

I hear more than enough commercials on Spotify advertising Sam Adams. Every person in those commercials seem like such a prick beer snob who wouldn't be caught dead drinking a standard Mich Ultra or Bud Lite.

A real beer snob wouldn't be caught dead drinking Sam Adams, let alone bud lite or Michelob.

One of my friends is a beer snob, I kinda get it, but I don't fully. Some people just like the taste of "bitter" more than I do, I guess.

However, you don't have to be a beer snob to know that bud lite tastes like piss.
