I'm definitely not a beer snob. Hell, I'll drink anything as long as it's cold. However, my Dad brews his own. I'll help him sometimes and always help him bottle. Usually does about 12 gallons a time. I've never had any better. I've always been partial to Guinness but Dad makes a stout that leaves Guinness in the dust. We don't get to drink a lot of it cause when the word gets out that the beer is ready to drink folks come out of the woodwork for a few "samples". To me, drinking homebrew or "craft" beer is not very practical. A six pack of Coors, ice cold, is pretty satisfying.

I haven't homebrewed for the last five years. I've been writing about beer instead. I drink craft beer, homebrew, mainstream beer and imports. I don't, however, go around like fanatical beer geeks who think that those who don't exclusively drink what THEY consider to be good beer, are stupid.

These "ten best" or "ten worst" postings are always fun, but one has to consider why 85% of American beer drinkers prefer a Coors, Miller, or A-B product over a craft beer. Your typical fanatical craft beer drinker will expound on the conspiratorial efforts of mainstream brewers to produce tasteless beers, while accusing the 85% of beer drinkers as being "sheeple" who blindly succumb to advertising. (They're smarter than us, too).

I hate elitists. For them, go ahead -- drink what ever beer you want, but that doesn't mean that you're right.

Can't decide if I should pop an Arrogant Bastard or a Coor's Light today.
