If not liking watered down, tastless corn and rice squeezin's (with a touch of malt and hops throw in) make's me a beer snob.....I'm a snob.

Is a person who doesn't like McDonalds but likes a homemade burger a "burger snob".

Or the guy who only shoots high end .45's instead of a $300.00 Ruger a snob?

Anyone who is interested should read up on the history of American brewing and beer.

You'll see why most of today's big brewers brew the watered down faux-pilsners that they do for the mass markets. It all stared with capturing the female market during WWII....and went downhill from there...

No, a snob is "one who has an offensive air of superiority in matters of knowledge or taste."

In other words, if you believe your taste is not only different but also superior, you might be a snob.
