Of course it's your own fault if you actually drink this sort of stuff instead of proper beer, but if you think it tastes like water then maybe the reason is a surplus of that substance? We may soon know, as [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21597076Anheuser-Busch are being sued by US beer drinkers[/urlwho allege they have inside information that since they merged with InBev,


It is also reported that;


At least there is no suggestion that it may contain horse fluids.

Beer snobs are only slightly less irritating than food snobs.

EDIT: Poor English on my part.

Budweiser, isn't that American for pi$$ !!

Had a Budweiser (the real one) in Czech Rep once and it was excellent.

I'd say more annoying.

Gospel? I'm struggling to see the connection between beer/food and irritability.

I'm also struggling to comprehend why deprecating the illicit watering down of beer might be in any way connected with "snobbery". We may need JC for this one. Has your rabbit seen him about?

Ah, but it's pleasure, doncha know? Or, more to the point, too much pleasure. Dodgy that. Sinful, in fact.

Czech Budvar is excellent stuff, as mentioned above.

I agree that beer snobs are a joke. The number of times I've gone to the bar for a pint of something for a beer snob rather than a bog standard pint of bitter or whatever and the pub has not had it so I've got the bog standard. Snob then proceeds to say how great his pint is. Always funny when you're in a crowd and you explain theirs is actually the same as yours, which they have previously derided.

WAsBudweiser ever Watered-up?

I beg to differ...

For any idiot who doesn't think there is a difference between a proper cask conditioned beer/ale and AN Other glass of shoite with a famous brand name, then I'd like to introduce you to the sort of shoite we had to put up with when I wor nobbut a lad - pint of Watney's Red Barrel or Whitbread Trophy anyone ?

Double Diamond.

It tastes OK over in the US. Terrible over here though.

You seem to lead a really strange life. I've spent a fair amount of time in drinking establishments but don't recognise this scenario.

I like places like the Fighting Cock in Bradford, a haven of real ale (and other drinks) and would state with certainty that it is invariably filled with lovely, decent, friendly, "real" people and you are far less likely to find a in the FC than in most other pubs. The thing is, most of the customers go there for the beer, but this doesn't make them beer "snobs", it means they appreciate the product, and go to places like this by choice.

If you really have "lost count" of these peculiar incidents, how come these mythical beer "snobs" still associate with you? I reckon you're just making it up. Sounds like a tall story to me, and there's not many real ale drinkers who would mistake a pint of nitroe smooth or whatever for the real thing. "Lost count", my arris.

Nah, I'll stick to my Toby bitter...

If you like a wheat beer and you ever see this, it's gorgeous.

I call bullsh*t.

Beer from the 'father land' is the tops

That or he buys drinks for people a billion degrees politer than me.

no
he's wrong

Using the beer snob argument is avoiding the argument on quality of beer/food/life.

I prefer a steak from locally sourced beef rather than a burger from a supermarket: for this I was called a snob by a friend: waiting for the apology!

No you are wrong. You will be able to tell the drifference between your steak and a burger. What I was talking about is people who go on about good beer but when you give them a grotty pint they do not notice or proceed to say how great it is! I have no problem with people preferring a better drink but I do object when they bore me about it and don't actually know the difference betwen Stork and butter.

You struggle to differentiate between talk and mutter

This is my lieblingsbier in Munchen. Franzikaner i must recommend to anyone who appreciates good beer or more precise a wheat beer. The taste is fantastic, and 3 sunk down you feel it. at the moment im just about to watch bayern vs dortmund with a augustiner helle, sehr lecker, i wish they had these 2 in blighty, a budweiser makes me feel poorly if i have one at home now. As for real ale folk, i think the Viz magazine 'the real ale Tw@#s' sums it up perfectly. chow

Chow, you having something to eat?

Do you brew your own?

I dont like to brag...... chow=tschus

Really, I thought it was Ciao?
