That whole blue-collar-irony thing is going out the window, though. I think the twee phase is almost creeping back in, and with it the appreciation for more complex and interesting brews will as well. Maybe. Hopefully.

Well. . . that's ######ed. If someone told me I was being ironic for drinking pilsner (I'm from Saskatchewan. . .I'm allowed) they might get an ironic punch to the face.
