Gotta ask this here, I guess. What is it with people and microbrews? People have to brag about all the odd brands they've had, especially when you won't have a clue of the names as they're from some other area.Beer is nothing special for me at all, especially American beers. I do admit I sometimes
like to down a bottle of Grolsch from time to time, but it's more to remind of my time in Holland than for the taste. Beer, generally, is not worth the water they put into it to me.
I think it's another pretentious thing for people to brag about. But I still don't get it. I routinely tell people who start that nonsense, "I really don't like beer and am not impressed with whatever odd label you've had," and that has NEVER worked to shut people up. People of their ilk (I hate ilk) don't even hear you saying that, it seems.
I'm not into wine either and I think these microbrew fans are a lot like wine snobs. And none of them understand that the rest of us don't care at all.
