I mean, thats true of almost every stout. Guinness is fine, but its usually the worst stout available. Its basically the Bud Light of stout (though stout is an inherently better style so even the Bud Light of them is fine)

Some do to chocolate/black malt what the IPA arms race did to cascade... it only gets so black before it's burned. Charred's ok. If I wanted to taste something burned, I'd have dinner with my parents.

I do agree that 4.20.16 was amazing. That one still sticks out in my mind as being one of the top IPA's I've ever had. I also enjoyed the black IPA's and the unfiltered ones, though I can't remember the exact dates.

You seem to be unable to discuss beer culture objectively without getting defensive and thinking that it's always about you, personally.

Otherwise you get into weird logical traps where you end up making these incoherent arguments like "lotsa people blah blah blah because {extremely broad generalization} oh but in reality {inverse of what I just said} because like, I don't live in 2007 California (or the Deep South as you sometimes like to say)

Even though you basically agreed with it a few posts ago. Beer drinking culture in this country is still trying to come to grips with the fact that for decades, it was unpatriotic to drink anything other than Bud Light, even Coors was pretentious. You can deny it all you like but all your raging about "is it still 2007" just drives the point home further. It's about proving that you're at a specific point on a progress line that exists in your head. God forbid anyone think you're too early on that progress line!

Yeah, thats how shit works, you progress through time and things change. I'm sure the beer market will look quite different in 30 years as it surely did 30 years ago. You are the one getting mad at hoppy or bitter beers, hence the California ten years ago reference which apparently went over your head

You're like a broken record, any time you don't understand something, you just go "but I can totally HANDLE the hops and you can't neener neener"

Notice how I haven't said a word about whether and to what extent I like hoppy beers personally

But it doesn't matter, does it? As long as you can prove (to yourself if no one else) that you're on the right spot in the progress line, you can feel confident in the knowledge that it's not {specific year} anymore, at least you're not the south.

what questions?

most people dont have huge disposable incomes. drinking nice beer every day adds up, especially if you plan on getting drunk and seeing as you personally have such difficulty achieving a buzz that shit must be pricey.

that's cool if you really have such a large disposable income that you don't have to worry about budgeting or if you just drink that infrequently but that just isn't the situation with most people, especially on here I would imagine.

not being able to get buzzed off PBR might also be true but you must recognize that, that is not the usual.

[Anonymous No.8771335]

>>8771287

Eh, I've experienced both ends of the spectrum when it comes to disposable income, and I've enjoyed as much craft beer as I want throughout. a 6 pack of pbr is roughly 3-4 dollars cheaper than a six pack of amazing beer. If you aren't willing to spend the extra money, then chances are you like getting drunk more than you like beer.

I work at a brewery and homebrew regularly. I'd never have to buy a beer again if I didn't want to, but there was a time where an ungodly portion of my paycheck went to rent and 9/10 my beer cost more than my dinner.
