Tonight I'm enjoying a Chimay Ale Groaned Reserve from the Scourmont Abbey in Chimay, Belgium. It's a real beer. I'll be celebrating the passing of the man who brought us the curse of lite beer and the "men" he created who drink the stuff.

I'm sure he was a nice man, but he unleashed an ocean of tasteless, empty and unsatisfying "beer" on the world which in turn created generations of tasteless, empty and unsatisfying slackers, 30 year olds living with Mom and metrosexuals . I'm sorry, but good riddance Mr. Owades.

Lite beer is for people who don't like beer. The same people eat veggie burgers and put Sweet'n'Low in their decaf non-fat lattes. Eat less! Don't take it out on your taste buds! They drive Prius', too.

Civilizations the world over have, for thousands of years, enjoyed the virtue, craft and pleasure of real beer. And then Joseph Owades comes along and strips the very character, taste and life out of the libation known for it's bold character, wonderful taste and living ingredients. Thankfully, there are thousands of breweries big and small around the globe creating an endless supply of real beer and ales for real people to enjoy.

Drinking lite beer is like making love on the beach.

F*****G near water.

Thankfully, there are thousands of breweries big and small around the globe creating an endless supply of real beer and ales for real people to enjoy.

Thankfully, there are free market enterprises that produce products that people want to BUY for real people in spite of arrogant, ignorant comments like yours.  I don't eat veggie burgers or Sweet-n-Low, and don't drive a Prius,   nor am I an empty and unsatisfying metrosexual slacker, I'm over 30 and don't live with mom.  I happen to be a sommelier (that means my palate is professionally certified) with decades of experience who on occasion enjoys beer that does not resemble carbonated motor oil, or a bitter brew that does resemble an experiment thousands of years ago.

And finally although your comments are likely intended humorous, to rejoice at the death of someone because of a relative success of an invention says more about you than it does Mr. Owades.
