I make my own beer and I kinda like schlitz and pbr. Does that make me a sellout? I used to drink falstaff occasionally, but sadly it is gandhi.
Hell no. As long as you still like beer. I just lost my taste for rice water. Drinking Sludgewiser is like having sex in a canoe. Fu(king close to water.
I prefer barley, water and hops. Liquid bread.
Here is a neat story of beer.
