Yes, it is both sad and pathetic you consider yourself a beer snob.

No way to verify whether you could actually do so without looking on line, much as the same way I would doubt you could without further immidate research tell me what type of beer Cantillion is ans that you would cheat to know, but then, what would you know about good taste?

What is specially funny about this is that if you go to Beeradvocate and actually look around, the beer I recommended (Michelob Amber) has the same reviews as St. Pauli Girl Dark (a C) and the single review of Dos Equis Dark gives it a C+, that being the best score given to a Dos Equis brand.

So next time Asher, know your sources, so you look like a smaller tool than you actually are. You still don't get it. Man, you are thick.

You claimed to be a beer snob. SlowwHand did not. Neither did I.

I'm showing you that beer snobs don't like Michelob. I don't give a **** what beer snobs think, I'm just showing you that you're not a beer snob. You're a poser.

It warms my heart to see an American icon swallowed up by a foreign company. Now you know how the rest of the world feels. The pundits tout the falling dollar as a way of increasing exports because it's now cheaper to sell our stuff overseas. Well guy, "our stuff" includes the Chrysler Building and Budweiser Brewing Company.

People who classify themselves as beer snobs (and if you are classifying people who have acounts on beeradvocate as such, well, then guess what? I had an account!) can like any number of beers. What being a beer snob entails is actually enjoying beer for the taste, knowing the subtleties that can go into the taste of beers, the things that add depth or mouth feel, and all the different styles. It is knowing that dark color derives from how toasted the malt was, and has little to do with say alcohol content and so forth.

Such a person can still take a macrobrew and enjoy it, much like a gourmand could still get a good philly cheesesteak and be in heaven. I know, something someone with such small horizons as yourself could probably not understand.

BTW: If any of you are ever in Hawaii, do NOT drink the Primo Beer.

That's one beer that we can all be snobby about.

The worst beer I ever had was Wiedemans.
But back in school it was only $1.68 for a case of returnable bottles so it was popular. (yeah yeah, this was 1973)
We called it the beer with the ping because about 3 seconds after taking a sip, you'd feel a ping in the back of your throat. The worst ever, but again, after 8 or 9, what difference does it make.

I'm not sure what's worse: a beer snob or someone pretending to be one. I know what is worse, a jackass who can't understand either.

Are you seriously saying I don't understand what a beer snob OR what a poser is? Given how self-evident it is from this thread, yeah.

I've got lots of people around here who swear they they will never buy an Anheuser-Busch product again because it is no longer "American".

...

It's so stupid I can't even begin to go into it.

IIRC, this means America's top 3 brewers are all owned by foreign firms; Coors is actually owned by Canadians and Miller by South Africans, I believe.

So what's our biggest home-grown brew at this point? PBR? Boston Beer Company, which makes Sam Adams.

A beer company for Americans to actually be proud of

I didn't know this was under consideration. Appropriate, given my dislike of these beers.

MillerCoors picks Chicago over Dallas

11:09 PM CDT on Tuesday, July 15, 2008

Dallas has lost out to Chicago as home of MillerCoors, a joint venture between Molson Coors and SABMiller PLC, the company confirmed Tuesday.

The joint venture was completed two weeks ago.

MillerCoors chose Chicago based on the "goal of becoming the best beer company in America by having access to an attractive base of talent, transportation and business resources," president Tom Long said in a statement.

A Greater Dallas Chamber official said Tuesday that the group hadn't been notified of a decision.

MillerCoors spokesman Julian Green confirmed that the company had looked at office space in downtown Dallas, Irving and Far North Dallas.

"It wasn't a question of why not Dallas, but what we were looking for," Mr. Green said.

He noted the importance of Chicago as an international travel hub, given the company's sites worldwide, and its abundance of landmark buildings.

MillerCoors' Web site listed other determining factors: Chicago's "vibrant, 24-hour" central business district, broad options of affordable housing with easy commutes, and economic incentives to help offset "considerable" relocation costs.

Chicago offered tax-increment financing and Illinois offered tax credits and training and business development grants, according to World Business Chicago, the city's economic development group.
