What is a snob, exactly?

Slightly going off topic, but I do love the confusion/irritation/anger that is displayed by a BMC die-hard when they sit down at a bar that only offers micros. its like they walked into a 5-star steak house expecting to order Hamburger Helper, and then getting pissed when they don't have it.

Although I have seen some bartenders handle this really well by offering samples of lighter styles and taking time to describe them, instead of acting snobbish or blowing off the customer.

 

Those people have as much right to their loyalties as you do. It reminds me of cigarette smokers and why camels really are love potion no. 9.

Myself - I will only eat dannon yogurt. Plain. No other kind.

 

I like Old Chicagos. Pretty decent pizza, and they have Bud Lite for my buds, and sumpin' like Left Hand Milk stout or Racer 5 for me. Win/win.

 

Dannon is the bomb.

 

Teeth of Englismen!

 

"Can I get a case of Coors?"
*Brings out case of Coors Lt*
"No, I don't drink that shit, I want COORS"

 

It's funny when a hardcore Bud Lite or Coors Lite drinking can't differentiate between the two. This actually happened at a family BBQ. A cousin of mine only drinks Bud Lite and there was a keg of Coors there. No one had the heart to tell him it wasn't Bud. It was pretty funny watching my uncle hand him a cup of Coors Lite and he acted like he was in heaven. "Ahhh, Bud Lite. Good 'ole reliable." To this day, I think he's still denies the fact that it was Coors he was drinking...

I'll be honest, I probably couldn't differentiate between most AALs... But, if you put Miller Lite, Coors Lite, and Bud Lite in a row, I could probably pick out Miller. At least it has something that resembles flavor...

 

I beleive that to be most every BMC drinker.

 

if so, than can you tell me what the hopslam of travel experiences is... i am really curious.....

if you're not a hopslam fan, then maybe explain to me the KBS of travel experience.....

 

Funny enough, my employer took us out for a celebration for promotions, and we went to an awesome craft beer bar/BBQ place (Devil Dancer on Tap at the time). I was talking to people and they were really hesitant about trying new beers, and a majority of them only drank either Shorts Local Light or D-lite, until they found Zombie Killer... but the funny part was one of my co-workers didn't want to go to this bar because they didn't have the "Good Stuff." I instantly regretted asking what the good stuff was... Miller Lite, or Coors Light... Ugh, still makes me irritated.

 

I had a Bud Light last night for the first time in years. It tasted like I was drinking liquid straw.

A horse is a horse of course of course...

 

For every craft beer douche, there's 10 BMC douches.

 

Yes, and they are actually beer snobs, just closed minded, brand loyal beer snobs. The difference is in beer geeks that actively seek and love trying new beers. At least we all have the main ingredient in common. Beer! Plus most people fall in the middle 80%. "I'll drink anything! Have Black Tuesday?" "No. Just Busch heavy." "Fuck yeah, pass me one"

 

"BMC Snob", isn't that an oxymoron? There's no one below them for them to feel superior to. It would be like being a Waffle House snob.

 

I just spent $60 on 6 bottles of Uncle Jacob's Stout this week (most of which I won't even drink for a year or more). I could have gotten at 120 Keystone lights and probably 90 Coors lights. It would be nice to be able to go back into the cave and not know there is a bright new world of beer out there.

Also I'm sure that most of the BMC snobs who are brand loyalists have tried the other brands. They just have their preference. I know I can tell the difference between them if I try them back to back. If you just handed me a real one I doubt I could name it and I still drink crappy beer when I play drinking games or sometimes at a sporting event.

BMC snobs? Oh, they're everywhere you look. Craft drinkers are much more likely to drink BMC brands than BMC drinkers are to drink craft brew.

 

poo vs burps

 

I generally avoid any macro that isn't Coors Banquet/Original/Classic. It's the only one with anything beyond water flavor (I think it tastes a bit like Cheerios).

 

I actually did the same thing with my wife's Strawberita. One sip and the novelty was down the drain.
