Sure, I like some better than others, and I never pass up an opportunity to make a joke about how Coors Light tastes like water, but seriously if you like microbrews, good for you. If you love you some Bud Heavy, even better. But god damn, even that fucking Miller Light commercial with that cunt bartender pisses me off. "Ya can I get a beer?" "Do you care how it tastes?" "BITCH GET THE FUCKING BEER, YOU'RE THERE TO LOOK AT AND HAND ME BEERS WHEN I DEMAND THEM, NOT QUESTION MY TASTE IN BEER!!!" At least thats how I'd react.
I'd turn to leave like I wasn't going to tip her and when she asks "you're not going to tip me?" be like "do you care how much it is?". But that bitch in her place :) I agree that commercial is dumb.

I don't get what the issue is, and if you like beer I don't know how you could find them "disgusting". Maybe less flavorful, or more bitter, but not disgusting.
You must not have ever tried Natti. There's a reason it's earned the nickname "Nasty Natti" and not just by me or a few people. By a LOT of people. Most of the beer I don't like I don't like because of the aftertaste and/or the feeling it leaves you with. Perfect example: I like Budweiser...it's full flavored, so for me it tastes a lot better than Bud Light...but I will still drink BL if that's what's provided where im at or if someone else buys beer (free beer!!!) But I CANNOT and will not drink Bud Select. I got drunk off of that shit when it first came out, and I woke up with a headache that could have taken down a full grown bull elephant the next morning. I went to a MAC school for college, so I've been drunk on beer more times than I'm physically capable of remembering, and I've NEVER felt like that off of beer...hell i've never felt like that off of liquor!! Another beer I can't stand is Landshark, because it leaves the skankiest aftertaste of any beer I've ever tried. It litterally tastes like someone took the piss out of some animal that has been dead on the side of a road for about 3 days and sprayed that liquid down the back of your throat after each drink.

It's to each his own, as I'm sure beers I find "good" or that I feel don't have an aftertaste (such as Guinness, Corona, Blue Moon) other people will disagree. However, to say that "if you REALLY like beer, you'll like all beer" is ridiculous. I like pop, but I don't like all kinds of pop. I don't care for sweet tea, but I bet for every 10 people who like unsweetened tea, I can find you 50 that do. People in general, yourself included are more "snotty"/picky about what they eat and drink than you realize or care to admit. Just sayin man. I wait tables in a restaurant and I see that shit 100 times a day, both with beer/alcohol and non alcoholic drinks.

I'm not a big beer drinker. If it's really cold and I'm really thirsty, any beer will do me. There are an isolated few brands that I won't buy, but not very many. My favorite "cheap beer" is probably Bud Lite. As for the more "premium beers", I like LaBatt's Blue, but I have had Anchor Steam and that's pretty good and several others are also on my favorites list.

This is not surprising DA... You would think anything tasted good after sucking about 7 or 8 dicks..

An ice cold Natty isn't great by any means, but it's a lot better ice cold than just cold.

I'd drink almost any beer ice cold, I have no beer snobbiness in me.

My dad has turned me onto Labatt, but on my college budget I normally end up buying a 30 pack of 'Stones to go through a weekend with.

Can't drink my beer ice cold anymore, I actually like to taste it. I usually have to let it sit out for a bit before I can drink it.

Beer snobs, AKA douche bags. They need something with some more flavor to wash down their Viagra.

^^Couldn't agree more.

Let NBA Predictor and his boys drink pond if it fits their tastes.

I'll stick to the classier, better tasting stuff.



Despite the self-effacing humor above, I really do think your beer is shit. Bud? Maybe in Dennison, but not in my world.

That's fine, just be aware that no one around drinking "shitty" beer cares what your opinion of their beer is.

The problem with beer snobs isn't that they like good beer, it's that they won't shut the fuck up about it.

Actually, no. I would have wrote douchebaggery (which isn't a word) if I meant douchebaggery. I meant your beer is as enticing as swing set sex.

BTW, I could care less and was merely having fun.

To get mad over this is a ridiculous notion.

I'm not mad, you're just a douche bag. It's not my problem, just an observation.
