"It was perfectly natural then, with so many different beers to choose from, that a learned cadre of beer experts would appear to explain to the unsophisticated masses what is “good beer” and what “has the nose and character of a harbor-town harlot with a penchant for walking into walls caked with manure.” Thus arrived the beer snob."

>> Thus arrived the beer snob
ROFL! I plead guilty.
Some of wifey’s friends are wine snobs and I rip on them all the time — but I’m just as bad about beer.
Great article! Except for spoiled beer of course, ALL beer is delicious!
What a great link! I love it when some 20-something snot nose tells me what defines a “great beer.” I’ve drunk more kegs of beer than he has drunk beers!
Rule 1: After the first two, they all taste the same.
Rule 2: The fresher the beer, the better. In other words, if it is local, it is probably more tasty.
Rule 3: If it has “orange motifs” and “a taste of dill pickle” it is being sold to snobs only.
Rule 4: Volume counts and so does price!
Cheers!
