That was hilarious. After a half dozen beers, who cares anyway?

Sight: Look at the beer’s label.

Stop right there. If you can read the fine print on the label, you really need another beer. A truly fine beer is graded by a mysterious figure in the corner of the label: a number, usually to one decimal place, and the mystic runes "% Alc." No one really knows where, in the misty reaches of time, this set of characters came to be, but they're nearly infallible.

Now I'm thirsty.

funny article. The american micro industry is doing ale (and some lagers) as good as anywhere else in the world now, aside from british real ale and some very specific belgian styles.

I work with a couple of beer snobs who drink...

$12 the bottle

[BubbaBasher]

[MichiganMan]

Cheap wine and expensive beer.  That's my motto.

You can get decent enough red wine for under $12. And while by no means can I say I make a lot of money, life is too short to worry about an extra $2.00 for a six pack of a good beer.  

These are truly wonderous times in which we live. 

[Darren McCarty]

The Beer Fuehrer

This curmudgeonly gentlemen will declare he would rather guzzle urine than drink what he considers “bad beer.” And by bad he means any beer that comes in a can, has commercials on television, or has been heard of by more than fifty people. He can only pity the poor fools who sit in bars drinking the swill disgorged by the vast corporate vats, when they could be drinking swill produced in much smaller ones.

That hits too close to home.

Now I need a bottle of Bell's.

LOL!

I like Keystone light!

Got sumpin’ to say about it!

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Personally prefer Henry Weinhard’s Classic Reserve as my everyday beer. Kinda a sort of beer snob wannabee, and am sorting out what I like from what I don’t still...can’t drink much because of medical issues, so it’s gotta taste good.

A minor digression here...

Not that the beer is any good (!), but does anyone know what happened to Michelob Aspen?

CA....

Please tell me the writer isn’t the NY Times Frank Rich, who is an ass and who I find hard to believe could be a beer aficionado.

[ATLDiver]

Preferring the *taste*of the more expensive Belgian and German led me to start home-brewing. Even with higher raw ingredients I can still brew a high-quality and favorable brew for about $0.85 per 16 oz glass. That’s just raw ingredients, not including my time but it’s a hobby and form of relaxation so that’s not a factor.

I agree that most beer drinkers may nopt be able to tell the difference between Miller, PBR, Bud, etc to that of a Weihenstephan or similar lager but trust me, some people can tell. Hand a Bud/Miller/PBR/etc drinker say a Rochefort 10 and I’m sure they’ll spit it out and write it off as nasty beer.

Most wine drinkers probably can’t tell the difference between Trader Joe’s Two-Buck Chuck and say a Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel either.

Pinging the epitome of beer snobbery for thoughtful and biting answers.

Or drunken ramblings.

Whichever...
