You drink macro... Trust me - you do.

That could perhaps be your last beer though too...

 

BOOM!!!

 

I'm more of a coffee snob than a beer snob. It's more annoying. Imagine that AB-Inbev not only sold everything that they currently do, but they also had tons of standalone bars out there just called Budweiser, and every day you see social media cluttered with people posting pics of their Budweiser drink for that day.

 

I DRINK! ...can't we just leave it at that?

 

Never said I didn't. I just don't do it that often.

As to your other assumptions: I no longer drink sodas unless I'm desperate for non-hot caffeine (try it- I lost about 40lbs just by doing that). Folgers? I may have had some unwittingly somewhere, but I'm more a grind-the-beans guy. Borden? Are you talking salt? Nope, gotta watch the blood pressure. Anything else?

 

When Anheuser-Busch gets as good at making macro-beer as Reese's is at making macro-candy, I'll buy it all day long.

 

If they could make a macro beer as good as Hebrew National makes a macro hot dog, I would be all over that shit...

If they could make a macro beer as good as, I dunno, Cannondale maybe makes a macro bicycle...

A macro beer as good as Brooks Brothers makes a macro suit...

A macro beer as good as Wrangler makes a macro blue jean...

these are not snob items--snobs look down at these--but they are better by an order of magnitude in their world than the beer we're talking about here. Great point Matt141!

 

****** would let you keep drinking if you provided a racial history of your ancestors that he approved of. Stalin would wait until you were drunk, then decide you were going to steal his recipes and throw you into some teetotal Gulag.

 

I was with you up until Wrangler.

 

Point taken, though I don't know many people who enjoy macros for their quality in flavor, but rather for the ultimate purpose of their goal which is to catch a cheap buzz. Not too many choose 'macro' products over 'local' products for those kinds of reasons. Though I'm sure 'fresh squeezed boy' would argue nutritional value and flavor vs. 'GMO' type ingredients, I certainly see the argument you're presenting.

 

I was looking for something pricier than a hot dog but cheaper than a Brooks Brothers suit...

 

Actually, I'm not a "macro drinker".

I drink tap water, beer and coffee, and my coffee sure as shit ain't Folgers.

 

I wish I could like this a thousand times. I hate BMC, but I really really hate starbucks.

 

They could... but they choose not to, which makes them that much more annoying.

 

I don't drink macro beer or pasteurized milk or Coke or Pepsi and I don't really like coffee imperial stouts anymore, let alone coffee. I like HIGH ABV beers and water and Grand Marnier and Hennessy.

 

I don't want to come across as criticizing the OP, because it was a thoughtful post.

That said, why don't we spend more time focusing on those of us that DO appreciate this particular hobby, and less time (like...none) on those that DO NOT. To have any angst toward or to make a value judgement about someone who prefers a Bud Light only affects the person making the judgement or experiencing the angst.

 

Nope. I do not drink the Pepsi and frown upon Meires I have not drank a Coke in years, although it hurts your ears
I eat not at Chipotle or McDonalds or Outback
And my favorite beer is the one that i just had, thats a fact.
So whining that you want respect
Because you like a tasteless brew
Does not impress anyone that chooses a tastier brew
Accept your place
At the base
And thank you for supporting good distributors (The hell with rhyming)

 

Honest question...why is that annoying?

 

I love drinking a fine locally made "craft" beer while wearing Nike shoes, a North Face jacket, and eating chili cheese Fritos, but only right after I get out of my Honda vehicle for which I recently got a oil change at Valvoline. In fact, I just used my IPhone to text a buddy that all those people drinking Miller and Bud are supporting evil corporations and not "true" craft drinkers.

Oh, I forgot to mention the box of beer my buddy in Arizona sent me via FedEx arrived today as scheduled
