The best beer... statistically

Maybe that's because he doesn't have to give it a second thought (no surprises) since it is always fresh.

Imagine, if all craft beer was always fresh, how much of a discussion topic would freshness even be?

 

It looks as if this thread is morphing into a discussion about why most beer drinker prefer AALs over craft. Craft drinkers and BAs sometimes see drinking, enjoying and talking about beer as a stand alone activity. They see beer as more than an enjoyable drink. AAL drinkers don't think or talk much about beer. They enjoy it as much as BAs so but see it only as drink to have while doing something else.

 

And even folks in the craft beer industry (insert word here*) AAL beers. Below is a quote from Shaun Hill (Hill Farmstead brewing):

“I actually find myself drinking Miller High Life or Budweiser because those beers are perfectly crafted.”

Cheers!

* a word you could select to insert above: prefer, choose,,,,

P.S. Maybe there are just times when a beer drinker just doesn’t want to think too hard about the beer they are drinking/enjoying?

P.S.S. Later today I will be drinking a can of Reading Premium beer – I bought a six-pack yesterday.

 

You have the right to do that!

 

I can't agree in the particular case I sited. He generally seems to enjoy drinking beer, always has some in his fridge, and will drink other light beers (bud, miller, etc) when that's available. I think its a combination of a lot of things, familiarity, predictability, it matches his desires as far as potency and perceived health cost, financial demands, and probably others. My dad is another example, absolutely loves all sorts of alcohol. Loves dipas and hoppy beers generally, and still returns to various cheap industrial lagers (labatt blue light seems to be his go too) because he likes something about them. I can't understand it and happily drink water or liquor at a function where Coors is the only beer option, but I suppose there's room for all of us here
