Hmm, looking at your two recent two posts together, I can't help but interpret them as a a cry for help. I just want you to know that we're here for you, Sweetums, whenever you're ready.

Oh, and beer is tasteless fermented bread slop. Spirits, wine or cider.

Clearly Kavekk and Sandy are either uncultured savages or they have never tasted a good beer before. We should feel sorry for them for all the wonderful things they are missing.

There are some beers that are lightly watered urine. There are other beers that are little samples of heaven. There are still others that are an indication that the brewer is trying too hard.

This makes me giggle every time I think about it.

Stop buying your beer from nickle and dime grocery/super stores.

Good beer is better than bad wine.

Good wine is better than good beer. I like exploring wines subtleties and I like it's buzz. Smiley: blush

Seconding this.

Also, good beer is tainted by the extremely annoying beer snobs, of which I live with a few.

I find far more variation and subtlety in beer than I do in wine. I am not as familiar with wine, so I will be missing some of it, but there is clearly more types of beer flavours and more flexibility.

What do you consider a beer snob?

Wine is a lot more subtle and subdued where beer has much more varied and up front flavours.

As for the beer snob, I'm guessing that since Fish is in college, his roommates have a very strong dislike for any of the fratboy LOLOL let's get drunk mentality and react to it by being overly snobby about their beers and hating on anything by a large brewer which is almost as annoying.

I could never get into beer. I've had enough beer advocates try to push some microbrew or another at me for me to guess that there isn't some magic quality threshold I'm missing -- it just ain't for me. On the rare occasions I buy or drink it, it's just a standard "**** water" domestic for refreshment after doing some yard work. Also, once a year or so I'll get a 12 pack of Old Style out of reverence to my ancestors.

Edit: Reading Catwho's link, the only fancy stuff I tend to find enjoyable is of the "Granite Face Pumptoberfest Winter Spice Blackberry Sprummer Wheat Seasonal Ale" variety. Otherwise, just give me a bottle of MGD.

There's actually a Polish style getting a little growing support around the world, Grätzer/Grodziskie combine the inaccessibility of a sour beer with smoked malts, usually over willow wood which gives it a taste sort of like the smell of freshly cut wood.

I'd say that beer can have a huge amount of subtlety as well as up front flavours. Wine is all subtlety. I like both, but I prefer beer.

Grätzer is/was a mostly forgotten style so that combined with the surge of sour beers makes it irresistible to the beer snobs and hipsters of this world. Imagine drinking a beer many people can't stomach that is obscure and has an air of authenticity. You can pretend to care about the lost art of making the style, show off how brilliant you are and look down on people all in one!

Just about everyone here drinks Narragansett for their cheap beer. It's not terrible, as far as American adjuncts go. While there are tons of better beers, an ice-cold 'Gansett after a long day in the sun can be a wonderful thing.

You hit the nail on the head. Also take into consideration that I'm living in the Hipster Capital of the South, so there's the added dash of those beer snobs too.

It's perfectly OK to appreciate the subtleties of a good beer, and to have wide knowledge of beers and what constitutes a "good" beer. It's not OK to look down on others for drinking, say, Coors Lite. I live with and know a lot of the latter.

Same. I can appreciate a good beer, and probably enjoy it more than a Natty or something, but I just feel like it's really not my cup of tea, most days.

I had an amazing Cherry Sour down in Cigar City that was like drinking a cherry sour candy.

And then I had this wonderful thing at the craft brew fest two weeks ago that was more like butterscotch candy.

***** it, I like beer that tastes like any kind of candy or chocolate, period.

Back when I would drink an occasional beer, I preferred the nice light Mexican ones - with lime. Simpatico, in the black bottle was my fav.

It's been probably a decade since I've had a beer.

My beer snob brother in law has had me taste a number of "amazing" micro-brews and imports. I tend to agree with the sentiment that beer isn't good. I just think calling it "tasteless fermented bread slop" is an insult to tasteless fermented bread slop. Given the choice, I'd rather drink distilled vinegar, and that's saying something.

Hard cider, now...love that stuff.

Hard cider is good. I once visited London and spent a few days with a girl (nothing romantic, she was a friend's girlfriend) where we ordered cider each time we hit a bar/pub. So beyond tasting good, drinking it always recalls a pleasant week abroad.

While beer is a great drink I like a dark lager, like the local(Philly area) Yuengling. but really prefer single malt scotch or a good Irish Whiskey. And seasonal beers I'm really coming around to the pumpkin beers....
