Discussions about beer happen because we have the same interest in it. Nobody is forcing you to drink premium beer and I won't make fun of you because of it. Like I said before, beer is an acquired taste for everyone. Most people however drink cheap beer because it is less flavorful and takes less time getting used to. Hell you've seen me post pics of me doing beer bongs. You think I do that with the expensive shit? Hell no. When I want to get fucked up I don't care what the beer tastes like.

Well said, brewing is like other hobbies, most are very helpful but you have a few tools, just that we like different beer and by brewing we can make beers similar to what we drink and try different things. I had a lot of fun brewing way back when and now wit the internet I have more resources and can share with more people.

I don't drink cheap beer since college. When I drink beer, it is mostly micro brew. I still feel the way I do about it. Most "Piss" beer is as carefully brewed to give that taste and the recipe is as cared for more closely than 90% of the micro brews.

Fair enough. I am a brewer so I take it seriously. And to be honest I have a 30 pack of miller light bottles in my basement fridge because a lot of my friends don't care what they drink so I keep it on hand.

I personally don't know any beer "elitist" and if I did I wouldn't like them either. Brewers are an interesting crowd though. You should try it I bet you will like it.

I don't think you are one of them. I've met you and drank with you. You definitely didn't strike me as one. You would definitely know if you met one. HurricaneHeather did a good job describing it with the wine tasting people she was talking about.

So...unless I'm a brewer, I have no business talking about how something tastes?
Is it like the "guys only see 16 colors" thing, except since I'm a beer layperson I can't describe how something tastes with anything more than sweet, sour, bitter, salty, etc?
You don't dig the pretentiousness of it all... good for you... but the ability to appreciate something and a desire to talk about it with like-minded people is hardly grounds to go bustin' balls

You're right about this. It takes careful monitoring and exhaustive quality control to ensure a consistent product when you're dealing with multi-million gallon batches. But consistent does not equal better. McDonald's has volumes of white notebooks full of standards for keeping the taste and quality of their food consistent as well. Doesn't mean I'm going to sit around talking about how their burgers taste because to me there's not much there worth talking about.

With less ingredients it's alot harder to fuck up , so yeah it would be more consistent.

You know, I probably should have changed my tone in that post.
I'm not defending beer, wine, coffee etc snobbery, but I'm saying that appreciation, preference, and discussion of a gourmet-grade product doesn't automatically make you a snob.

There is a difference between appreciating a good beer and the taste and being a pretentious asshat. It's obvious you understand that. You know the type I am referring too.

None of this changes the fact that I opened this thread expecting to see pictures of some hot model from South America or India, and it totally did not deliver.
