Beer thread

[Polixenes]

I culled it from http://newsthump.com/ which is a UK version of the Onion. Some of the articles are good, some not so - and it might appeal more to Brits anyway.

I am also curious as to your definition of a beer snob. Simply someone that refuses to drink Miller/Bud/Coors in favor of more expensive beer?

I don't like paying for something I won't enjoy. That's called efficiency not snobbery.

I pay attention to flavors and the construction of a beer because I LOVE the complexity of it even when a beer may have as few as 3 or 4 ingredients.

The Big 3 don't offer any complexity or uniqueness, not to mention any flavor, that I would want to purchase.

I can't imagine a beer snob as someone that would go so far as to be someone that specifically purchased a beer because of where or how it was made, but if that's what he's referring to then I can kind of agree.

I agree. Why pay money for something I'm not going to enjoy?

That said, there are certain nights when I'm simply on a quest to get drunk on a budget. Like I said earlier, those nights many times end up somewhere they're serving 2 for 1 pisswaters and dollar E&J shots [You must be logged in to view images.

Or baseball games, for example. If I happen to drop a can of Keystone on the ground, I'm not going to be as upset as, say, dropping a bottle of my favorite chocolate stout. Different situations for different methods of alcohol.

You mean people that look down on others because of something they consider themselves superior for, then I'm all with ya bro.

But I'll drink a good beer and not care what my friends are drinking and do it all the time.

Oh no! Last I checked, Wal-Mart could only, legally, sell 3.2% alcohol beer.
