Good question. they're all fags, let's begin with that. Wine snobs are probably the biggest fags, however it has the biggest barrier to entry so I guess it serves its purpose. Beer and coffee snobs are the most insufferable but I do actually like a really nice beer or coffee myself so it's a tough one. Tea lovers are mostly harmleas and mostly just keep to themselves so they get a pass.

>>beer snobs
How can you be a snob about something that's inherently lower class

>>18346318
Wine snobs for sure, since you have to be a gorrillionaire to even start. For the other three you can easily buy the best in the world even as a poorfag (as long as you aren't planning on having it every day).

>>18346330
fpbp, as expected from 4chan.

>>18346318
The worst are actually knife snobs since they combine both /ck/ and /k/ autism over pointless metallurgy and other shit for tools they will never use for anything more than cutting potatoes.

I don't really see many tea snobs other than Uncle Iroh. Beer snobs are also pretty rare, unless you consider anyone who prefers a craft IPA over a Bud Lite a "snob", which is just dumb. There are definitely a lot of coffee snobs, but for the most part they're like beer snobs in they just want a better product than the pre-ground drip coffee crap most people drank before the 90's, and there's nothing wrong with that either. There's also just a bunch of paraphernalia in coffee which makes it seem pretentious. That leaves wine snobs. Wine snobs are the worst because giving off an air of superiority is a much larger part of wine culture, and people also pay a lot more for wine even though they often can't tell the differences in quality.

>>18346330
I’m a winefag and I’m not a fag.

tea because they do that stupid pinkie in the air thing

>>18346318
Beer snobs are the worst by far. They try to steal a ton of terminology from wine that actually makes sense in the context of wine (like "vintage") and misapply it to beer while being snobs about it and claiming like they're "not like those snobby pretentious winefags".

If they just made up their minds and decided either to be committed dicks about their stupid hobby, or be down to earth regular guys, it would be fine, but the fact that they try to benefit from snobbery and exclusivity and pretense, while claiming they're better than those other people who they call snobs for just using words that have been used for convenience and mutual understanding for generations, makes them the most punchable people in all of food & beverage.

Also they're usually fat and have terrible hygiene.

>>18346377
1. You don't sound very entrenched
2. Apparently beer people do since they've been seething about wine since craft beer decided it needed to append an extra word in front of the word "beer" to be accepted as valid

>>18346340
>Oh you like X? You're an X snob
This is not the way. People who have a favorite beer that isn't a macro aren't all snobs. People who sit at a bar and scoff when someone orders a macro are snobs.

>>18346361
>they try to steal a ton of terminology from wine that actually makes sense in the context of wine (like "vintage") and misapply it to beer
So you've only heard the word "vintage" in relation to wine and think it doesn't make any sense in any other context? Sounds like a (you) problem. I don't think I've ever heard people use the word "vintage" with beer. Yeah, there's a few styles that develop in flavor over the course of a few years, but people usually just say "aged" or "cellared".

>>18346361
I'm not a huge beerfag, but there's something to be said for a nice beer that goes down smoothly vs a shitty one that makes you gag. I also learned from beerfags why draft/ poured beer is much better than beer straight from the bottle or can.

Way worse than whatever that you mentioned

my real-life friends are beer snobs and i almost never go out drinking with them unless it involves a keg or a case. any time we've gone to a brewery or a gastropub or whatever the fuck place you can order a craft beer from, every conversation devolves into hops and lagering and yeast for literal hours.

>>18346395

>>18346409
>there's something to be said for a nice beer that goes down smoothly vs a shitty one that makes you gag
You can say that about just about anything though, including food. Imagine someone who only ever ate Taco Bell or those shitty homemade tacos with the seasoning packets and shredded cheddar and lettuce in those hard shells that come in a box eating at a decent taqueria for the first time. Beer and coffee just gets more attention because most people grew up drinking macrolagers or preground (or even instant), so trying something made with a little bit of care put into is almost revelatory. Obviously some people can take it too far, like making a blog ranking every taqueria in town, but that's a little different than beer because most bars have rotating taps you you can go out once or twice a week and try 4-5 different beers without having to go out of your way.

>>18346330
tea fags are the least bad that is correct but wine fags usually also shut the fuck up unless they work in the industry. Coffee snobs are autistic and annoying and everything has to cost 10,000 dollars and the coffee still sucks every time they make it. Beer fags are just retarded and being retarded makes them the worst.

>>18346464
I like how you're moving the goalposts now from people who drink wine to trust fund kids whose job it is to open wine bottles for ignorant boomers who just order the second cheapest thing on the menu

>>18346470

>>18346318
Winefags: claim to be able to detect the most subtle notes and flavors. They mostly scam upper middle class women, so that’s a win in my book.
Coffeefags: definitely insufferable with their equipment, brewing technique, and description of the source of the beans. However, a cup brewed from these guys is always 100% empirically better, and usually only costs a buck or two more than the cheap stuff. So their faggotry gets a pass.
Teafags: ?????
Beerfags: the rise of microbreweries and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Too many s0i boy, chubby bearded fags have ruined this once noble drink. I can’t tell how many times I have been dragged out to the city’s latest microbrew, only to drink their nasty swamp water and get headaches. Beerfags are hands down the worst.
BONUS
Whiskeyfags: the male equivalent to wine fags. Just like with wine, some whiskeys are better than others, and it’s not necessarily correlated price.
CigarAppreciators: the final stop on the indulgence train. Light up a nice Nicaraguan and go bet on some football.

I've seen you post these exact same lines so many times in beer threads I'm convinced you've never left your basement, have no friends, and likely aren't even old enough to drink if you wanted to.

>>18346574
Damn, rip homie.

>>18346579
It’s true tho. Not all of these new local breweries are bad, but there are too many out there that are just terrible

Wine snobs that can't enjoy cheap and simple wine in any situation are the worst. Then they try to peddle you some expensive bottle they don't even pair with the expected food so they drink it as-is which is actually worse than something cheap.
Haven't actually heard of beer snobs outside the internet. I'm probably the biggest coffee snob just because I like grinding whole beans myself but don't particularly hunt specific brands or anything.

They exist but all the styles of beer are so broad that it's not really snobbery and neither is pointing out that "if all you drink is macro pale lager and anything with any flavor or heritage is too much for you, keep your goddamn mouth shut". The hop bomb, new release DIIPA crowd are the only obnoxious ones, most people just drink what's local or has good regional availability.

>>18346643
You have quite an imagination. It's amazing how you try to act like you're the moderate, rational one, when everything you say is so obviously out of touch head cannon.

>>18346646
What, specifically, do you consider out of touch? People like different things, people into beer at least know that there are different styles and someone saying "it all tastes the same to me" has only had one and that one is like sex in a canoe.

Beer snobs.

Wine snobs get a pass because wine can actually get expensive, which is typical of snobbery.

Coffee snobs because although it is a working class drink, there is a genuine difference between good coffee and bad coffee.

Same with tea snobs, except UK.

Beer snobs are the worst because beer is a working class drink, and will never be prohibitively expensive. This is the same as coffee and tea, except beer snobs have climbed so far up their own assholes they can no longer recognize a good product. It's become a pissing contest of who can make the most extreme [current trend here] style beer. I've tasted multiple craft beers that have won state and regional level awards, and they have all tasted like varying mixtures of handsoap and actual, literal piss, while advertising flavors like "coconut and lime" and "warm summer spice". I've gone to tastings and spat out award winning beers, while faggot hipsters croon about "subtle hoppy tastes" and "fruity noses" while sipping on pool chemical flavored swill. The snobs at the top only get there by choking down these inedible fluids while proclaiming that their quintuple 2 hour exxxtra hopped piss is in fact, the best. It would be the equivalent of hot sauce lovers declaring literal bear mace as the best hot sauce ever made. Beer snobs are nothing but insecure circle jerking soys who tie their entire identity to being able to stomach the foulest of drinks, while pretending that anybody who actually likes beer should be able to enjoy them as well. At least hot sauce fags acknowledge that the hottest sauces can only be enjoyed by the most seasoned chili heads.

t. enjoys good craft beer, hot sauce, quality tea and coffee.

That's a retarded reddit meme tho. Wine experts can actually tell shit wine from good wine.

>people who act like snobs towards widely accessible actviities are merely posing as upper class when they are not, making them more insufferable
I have pretty much the opposite take. I think rich people are just people who happen to have money, and they conflate having money with having taste (and the worse part is that people without money think the same thing. See: the queen, or people reposting Elion Musk tweets as though that guy's opinion on anything other than batteries should matter). The nice thing about beer in the past 20 or so years is that something accessible to everyone has gone back to being a local, craft thing, where you can enjoy a ton of different styles that can all be great if done right and the diy aspect means it's open to just about anyone. Maybe a brewery that opened in the 90's doesn't have the same history and experience as a 400 year old French vineyard, but that doesn't mean that wine automatically gets to be this special thing that everything else is just trying to copy but will never be on par with.

Lol. My mom drives a Subaru and orders $9 glasses of wine, while my dad will usually ask what IPAs they have on tap. They have money and are in their 70's. That's probably the reason I laugh any time I see the memes about IPA drinkers being soyboys or "hipsters" (nobody here knows what a hipster is); most people drinking IPAs are literal boomers.

I actually agree with this. Which is why people who pretend to be rich people with poor taste will always be cringier than rich people with poor taste.

>>18346951
That doesn't make any sense. They both have bad taste, but one of them has access to anything they want and still has bad taste, while the other one is only eating/drinking what they can afford, and maybe calling something "the best thing ever" when they clearly haven't tried everything.

>>18346995
Sounds like an academic married into hick trash. High brows are fun because they can't help but be snobs, nothing else interests them. Some rural variants of it present quite different.

Tea snobs are fine. They mostly keep to themselves, and don't go around trying to insist to everyone else to join them. Whereas alcohol drinkers think its the 'norm' to casually drink all the time and anyone who doesn't is weird. Tea drinkers dont go around trying to convert people to tea.

A redditor is a millennial who bought a one bathroom house in their 30's, has two dogs, and is looking for validation online that they're doing okay in life even though everyone knows that they are pathetic and life is nothing like what their boomer parents said it would be like if they just worked hard.

You literally repeated my post but replaced "influencers" with "rich retards", and "zoomers" with "redditors". Rich people don't rent, and most of them are actually pretty lowkey about how much money they have.

>>18347101
Hmm, well it's kind of a funny mix of true and not true. My father would be the hick trash since his parents and grandparents didn't go to college, though they were skilled tradespeople. But he was an academic when he married my mom, who was from multi generational wealth, but still a grad student. But my mom likes the "middlebrow trash" like sonatas and concertos, whereas my dad, the hick, grew up playing bach and handel, the whole hick family did. My mom tolerates that kind of music but doesn't love it. But my mom is into the avant garde lit, and my dad won't read anything that isn't non-fiction. My dad the hick is into the eames chairs, and my mom is into the chippendale shit. Seems like there's a lot of horseshoe theory at work here.

You're replying to two different anons. And my Uncle is more rich than either of us will ever be, lives modestly, and has good taste. Every assumption you make about me is wrong.

>>18346334
Thats my heritage bro. You are probably some city dwelling loser who has no idea about your own ancestry.

you can spend a month studying beer, a month studying coffee, a month studying tea and master 90% of the content
if you spend a month studying wine, you're still barely scratching the surface just because of how goddamn much variety there is at every level
this attracts a lot of midwits who know more than most people but still relatively nothing, it also attracts people who want to dismiss the whole thing as snake oil and that all wine tastes the same because it's easier than learning enough to be literate

They're just being friendly, what are they supposed to do ask you how your stools looked this morning? Anyone going to any kind of shop will sometimes just ask idle questions to be friendly, it's normal and you have autism.

>>18346318
Beer snobs, easily.

They are always also hipsters which immediately ranks them lowest.

>>18348254
Imagine bragging about your rich uncle on 4chins. Not even your dad which is pathetic enough. Your rich UNCLE holy shit kek

I'm an advanced sommelier, advanced cicerone, and Q coffee grader

People who invest their ego into the drinks they consume are faggots

>>18346318
steak snobs

>>18348389
sure you are

>>18346318
Tea snobs are pretty cool and welcoming. Beer and wine snobs are alcoholics convincing themselves otherwise, coffee snobs have too much time and money on their hands. Idk it's a tie between beer and wine fags desu, but at least wine snobs are drinking wine smoothies

>>18346318
Tea snobs because they have the added layer of weebdom

>>18346318
Coffee snobs.

Wine snobs probably because they've been around the longest. Their entire industry is built around tricking the wealthy while joining them at the same time.

As a coffee snob however I fully admit that we are big dorks who love to smell our own farts.

>>18348434
>but at least wine snobs are drinking wine smoothies
what?

>>18346334
several types of beer have been exports for the high class and wealthy since the middle ages. Usually shit with absurd near wine levels of abv.
>>18346361
im pretty sure vintage is not really in the vocabulary of cicerones or in the beer judge community. there are a lot of other words that you might find hard like effervescence, but thats really only because that is actually the best word available. The real snobs dont know what the fuck their talking about and are probobly just acting like turds for reddit updoots or something. Sometimes boomers who the the reinheitsgebot is the be all and end all of beer authority are really bad but they mostly just hang out with other boomers and occasionally waddle their old wives tales out on forums like its gospel.
T. beer autist

>Wine snobs that can't enjoy cheap and simple wine in any situation are the worst.
I have never met such a person, unless you mean the average wine drinker turning away the Barefoot or Chuck Shaw you offer them

>>18346702
Amazing that these transparently bait 'pretending to like' posts still get (You)s in A.D. 2022

>>18346816
The court of masters sommelier certification is no joke. Even the entry-level cert requires you to be able to consistently blind identify grape and region.

>>18348332
You claimed I've had no contact with the wealthy. I simply provided evidence as to how you are wrong. I'm not bragging, I'm just proving to everyone ITT you are an autistic troll whose opinions are utter trash.

Fuck you for making me lose the game

Not my problem you think chlorine tablets taste good.

Spoken by someone who has no idea about tea (probably the others too but I'm not educated enough to call you out on them)

inverse snobs

Enjoy your floor sweepings faggot

>>18346318
Beer snobs are the only ones that have ever actually given me shit.
Tea snobs are the best because they taught me that I was brewing green tea at too high of a temperature, which had a marked impact on my enjoyment of it.

>>18346702
This post is weird to me because my idea of a "beer snob" is someone who despises "gimmicky" craft beers and IPAs and refuses to drink anything hoppy, whereas your definition is almost the exact opposite.

>>18346361
imagine pummeling the shit out of that disgusting face

>>18348692
>posting on 4chan is a symptom of autism
Anything else faggot?

>>18346318
Green text snobs

>>18346318
Wine snobs since they all unironically act like Frasier Crane in real life. Beer snobs are annoying, but most of the ones who take beer super serious have moved onto other things by now or make it. Sure they can come across as dumb yuppies, but most wine snobs tend to be incredibly elitist and proud of it.

It's fun seeing them lose their shit when you use "church" as a tasting note for their high-end wine

>>18346330
damn, a fpbp classic

>>18346383
The only people who give a shit about vintages in beer are idiots who got duped into hording old beer by marketing departments. Even stuff like belgian sours and barrel aged beers basically stop getting better after 3-4 years if they do at all.

>>18346933
>most people drinking IPAs are literal boomers.

This. Every craft beer group I've ever been in has just been riddled with boomers, maybe 30-something suburban dads and not Cayden the Urban Quinoa Farmer

>>18346337
You can be a snob at any level, I know people who buy $20 bottles who are snobs about people who spend <$10.

>>18348961
"church"?

>>18346318
worst*

>>18348810

LMAO he's still bragging about his rich uncle holy shit

OP, as always.

Do you even know what a "boomer" is?

they're like that 3rd gender that doesn't exist, the demiqueer metrosexual things. Kia drivers

Drink snobs are the worst. worse points if the drink snob is also a bartender/mixologist.

>>18350048
You're talking to someone who thinks quinoa is grown by white bard dropouts in a loft in dumbo, so...

>>18349923

Embarassing.

>>18347234
>american 'beer' like bud light or coors
No American beer snob even touches that stuff with a 10 foot pole, how is it relevant in any way? They're more likely to talk your ear off for 30 minutes about exactly what makes those beers not even really count as beer while sipping on their IPA that tastes like vomit.

>>18350281
The only damage here is to your ego, mr. nephew of a rich guy. I wonder how hard your uncle would be cringing if he knew you were bragging to a bunch of NEETs that you KNOW him, this is the most pathetic brag I've seen all year and just the other day someone unironically bragged to me that they had 2 posts with 50+ replies on another board, you're even sadder than him, let that sink in

>>18346470
That's the paradox of coffee. I've had roughly one *good* coffee in my life, or, two from the same place. Most coffee doesn't taste good.

>>18346733
based and checked

>>18346816
I did see a video of that guy - he ID'd an expensive high quality Bordeaux from an low cost high quality one, even when they lied to him that the cheaper one was expensive.

Me mum & dad are low-brow to a tee, though obviously this chart was made prior to the formation of Hawkwind.

>the coffee sucks
because everyone is used to stale pre-ground beans made in an industrial drip machine and served out of picrel so when they get a nice cup and it tastes different they hate it

>beer: 91

>coffee: 36
normies

>>18346318
Probably wine snobs - on account of being able to fuck with them by swapping labels.

Snobbery's shit anyway - drink what you want to drink. If I order something expensive at a show, because I never see it around, I don't want the opening band thinking I'm judging them by their choice of comped domestic. I just want to exchange whatever true pleasantries, maybe do a little networking, and enjoy our collective night... lawd knows when I get off a stage, I'm using my tickets or drinking whatever's provided.
