I didn’t know there was a Beer 101 Class where they taught you how to act like an arrogant ass because your favorite beers are nothing short of BLESSED bottles of piss.
Weird how all western beers are classified shit, you’d think drinking would be a costly past time if you were to import all the beers the McS users deem not shit.
Want class? Don’t drink.
Want to kick back? Drink whatever the fuck you want.
Want to be a bitch about drinking? Follow the previous posters’ attitude.
I’m sure you don’t go out to buy the best brands of everything you own, so shut up.
I am also sick of idiots coming on here either [a] trying to act all cool and that they know so much about beer or [b] just being assholes and automatically dissing whatever beer is in the picture and saying it aint as good as (insert local brew or really obscure beer here).
And I’m sure I’m going to get someone like ian saying that I’m new to drinking and all that, but I have been drinking for 5 years, have drank some horrible beers in my time, and really don’t get all the hate for the likes of Miller, Heineken and Budweiser. Sure there are better beers out there, but these are the ones that are served in all pubs where I live, usually one of them is one offer any given week in the local stores and they really aren’t bad tasting at all.
Alright, here’s the reasoning behind beer “elitism”…
American and European macrobrews are like WalMart. They provide a crappy cheap option for people who don’t care about quality. Sure, you may get your toilet bowl cleaner for 50 cents less at WalMart, but you’re gutting the main street of your own town and destroying local commerce. Macrobrews systematically pressure small artisan breweries in attempts to either run them out of business or buy them out. The the macro takes over the facilities to distribute their watered down, mass-produced low quality beer. Somebody once told me that for every case of Stella Artois you buy, you’re putting a small European brewmaster out of business.
I am a home-brewer, and have learned a lot about what goes into making a quality beer. American macros use too much of one of the main ingredients: water. They use low quality hops and grains, too much water, and advertise their beer as being “ice cold”. It’s all a marketing ploy.
At the end of the day, drink what you want. Hell, when I have a bunch of friends over for a drink-a-thon, we’ll probably grab a case of Miller or something. However, when you praise cheap mass-produced beer as being “delicious” or the “the best beer in the world”, you simply sound stupid. It’s like saying that WalMart is just the cutest little shop you’ve ever been to.
I can understand your point, what I disapprove of is that people aren’t EVER content about whatever beer is being displayed. Nothing wrong with having an opinion but they act almighty by only classifying what THEY like as not shit, and you can bet it’s some obscure brand most people haven’t heard of.
It’s not our fault, I drink what is available to me, occasionally I go on to taste other beers but they’re twice the price of what I normally pay so I’m content to drink the local stuff, I’m gonna end up the same way anyway.
“it’s not our fault” Heh heh…beer victim. I do agree, it’s kinda dumb to claim you’ve had the best beer ever brewed, considering there are tens of thousands of breweries out there. And nobody is going to have heard of that one from where you live. That’s why I generally just say “drink local”. It’s better tasting, better for your local economy, better for the environment, and actually better for your health as well. And by local, I don’t mean domestic macro (i.e. Bud Light), I mean craft brews from no more than 1 state away.
lol. Dreth is new to drinking. Its ok. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Me? I’m a beer enthusiast. I’ve tried alot of different brands of beer, and they are all different.
I’ve had my fair share of Western beers and I’ve had my fair share of Asian beers, and European beers. Too be honest, alot of Western beers are just watered down piss. Not all, but a good amount.
I know what its like being new at something, Dreth. Maybe one day you will enjoy drinking for more than just the sake of inebriation.
High Life is pretty bad, but there are other decent cheap beers to drink. I mean, I enjoy good IPA’s or a great quad by Victory called V-12, but I don’t always drink them. Today I’m drinking just a Beck’s Oktoberfest. If you’re just relaxing or just want a cold beer, I go with something like Genesee Cream Ale or some MGD. It sounds like ian is just trying to throw around that he drinks expensive stuff all the time.
i may not be a beer connoisseur…but i know what i like, and smithwicks is delicious, and way better than a lot of american (and i’m american) beers. and not particularly expensive. so why judge? what’s good is good, and those that can recognize that are blessed. 😀
Actually, there are a ton of American beers that are absolutely delicious. I’m a big advocate of getting familiar with your local micro-breweries. They’re just about everywhere (though if you live in WI or CO you’re quite lucky). They will invariably taste fresher because they haven’t been shipped over the ocean.
“So M[C]S, what are you drinking tonight?”
– Certainly, not that crap!
Köstritzer Schwarzbier.
Stejar.
Smithwicks. I don’t understand compels people to go out and buy shit beer.
