I definitely (negatively) judge craft breweries that lean too far or exclusively into beers like IPAs and Sours. IMO they’re the kind of beers you can have one of, but try to have a few and it’s just overwhelmingly bad. Stout is another one of those, though Guinness is probably a counter example where they do the one thing almost exclusively and do it really, really well.
“Sessionable” IPAs seem a lot better. And NEPAs are good. But beer is like pizza. You can mask a lot by getting complicated, but in the same way a great pizza place is going to knock a cheese or pepperoni out of the park, the true test of a quality craft brewery is how well they can brew something like a lager or a pilsner.

Not much different than Heavy Metal gatekeepers, proud to champion obscure metal bands while ####ting on any act that they consider mainstream or popular.

With more and more people deciding not to associate and announce their beliefs in religion, I felt like people started changing from "My religion is better than your religion" to "My brands are better than your brands".

It blows me away the number of losers that can't admit to liking a mass produced beer.
Everybody has one.
I ####ing love a nice cold PBR on a late Sunday afternoon after a day of yard work.
It is exceptional.

It's not just beer.
At a sleepover circa 1982, I got kicked out of my friend’s house and told to go home when an argument over which batteries lasted longer, Duracell or Energizer, became a little too heated.

My only issue with most mass-produced beer like coors or bud is it's too expensive for what you get, but I do consider myself a cheap beer enthusiast and I'm with you, there is nothing wrong with PBR.
For beers I don't like, I put them in chili. Winter ales and dark beers always good, light beers not bad. Fruity beers are OK depending on how sugary they are from the get go. ####ty sugary beers and ciders I'll turn into a simple syrup for other mixed drinks.
I was worried about using hoppy beer in chili a few months ago and it wasn't bad at all. Hoppy flavor kinda mellowed out and jived with the spices. An inexpensive light beer for beer batter is always great too.
I haven't tried, but someone looked at me with the most incredulous look of disappointment when he asked if I'd ever tried experimenting with dark beer in a gravy mix (I said I had not tried that yet). A dark ale/porter gravy added to Shepard's pie sounds awesome. I'll give him that.

It'd be like Guinness stew I suppose, which is awesome

Village kills it with their non-alcoholic quality. Their CR*FT Blonde Ale is one of my favourites. Although I think my all time favourite non-alcholic beer is Peroni. I literally can't tell the difference.
