I drink "beer snob" beers, but I also drink Kokanee, Bud, Heinekin etc, a lot, too.

It's all beer, some better, some not as good, some expensive, some not. It's all beer, though, and drinking beer is always good.
The best post you have ever made.

I am a vegan. I am a vegan because my wife is a vegan. My wife is a vegan because there is a lot of food she can't digest. I also don't eat red meat for dietary reasons. The only non vegan thing we eat is sushi. It's the one thing we both love and can both eat.

Every once in a while, when we go out to a pub or something of the like, I'll order a pitcher of beer and get a free plate of hot wings. As I enjoy hot sauce, I eat them. Every once in a while I cheat, and my wife doesn't care. I am a vegan to support her and make cooking at home a little easier. She is vegan because it fits her lifestyle. Neither of us have anything against "meat eaters" because it isn't a moral choice, rather a health choice.

I find that being vegan (quasi-vegan?) limits the amount we can eat out, so it makes us cook our own food. It works for us, as meat works for most other people. We don't judge you, so please don't lump us in with the rest of those armpit hair braiding nutjobs that chain themselves to trees. We are good people.

lol anything other than Bud, Miller or Old Milwaukee is a snob beer. I remember when Coors was a snobby beer.

Is Sierra Nevada pale Ale a snob beer? is it okay if I go to Ales For Anglers and support local craft beer?

Beer snobs however, well, GGG is a perfect example. "Oh I'm not a beer snob, but if you don't think the beer I enjoy is best, YOU DONT LIKE BEER."
I might be a beer snob but you are grossly mis-quoting me. I don't care if mine and your favourite beers are different, in fact with all the great beer out there its likely that they are different.

My statement is that if your favourite beer is Bud or Coors Light you don't like beer. You like a highly processed commercial beverage designed not to offend the taste buds marketed by women with large breasts. Nothing wrong with that but take away the marketing and the large breasts or blind taste test the beer and Bud and Coors light won't be your favourite.

I clarified the quote in my next post, and you're still a beer snob.

Bud and Coors light is still beer in every single way that any other beer is a beer. People who like those brews still like beer, so drop the snobbery. You clearly have an issue with American Macrobrews, that's fine, but whether the taste is better or not (I won't argue that there are beers that taste better) it is totally irrelevant in every way.

Just like what you like, go nuts, pipe down and drink a beer like an adult without some need to qualify certain tastes as better than others. You go down to the south and Coors Light is king, why? Because it's cheap, light, and refreshing. Perfect on a hot day and cheap enough to down without a care. Some people require only that in a beer, others require more complex flavour profiles.

Guess what? It's all still beer.

I think we can drop the "might" in clarifying if you're a beer snob or not.

I'm a beer snob.

I don't know why someone would choose to drink a product they don't enjoy because of perception. That seems silly to me. All I will say though, is if you drink beers like Coors Light, Bud, Molson Canadian etc and think they're awesome, you shouldn't make fun of Top 40 music.

Thats the example I was looking for. I couldnt figure out a good one. Although maybe I am a music snob too saying the comercially produced autotune crap marketed by large breasts isnt music. If so I accept the label as a beer snob and music snob.

Lebron/Kobe fanboys should get a mention. I like Kobe way more than Lebron but oh man watching their fanboys argue is hilarious. It's like to them nobody else played Basketball outside of Kobe, Lebron and Jordan.

This sort of explains why vegans are on the list, they will tell you why they are a vegan. I never said why I liked cheese on my burgers nor will I.

Just kidding by the way, but that is how some people see it.

I guess I'm just used to justifying myself to anyone who finds out. "Oh, you are a vegan? Why would you do that? Meat is fantastic." It's mostly people who don't know me. My friends and family all understand.

I'm not going to tell you that you are a bad person, or socially immoral, for beating meat. I understand. I used to be one of you. My poor little body just doesn't like it all that much.

I don't just randomly bring it up out of the blue. If someone asks me if I want cheese on my burger, well for one it'll be a veggie burger, and secondly I'll just politely say no thank you. Its usually the carnivores that ask me why I'm not devouring 6 ounces of glorious grilled beast flesh pressed between two soft, warm, sesame sprinkled buns of an angel. They asked, I'll tell.

No, but you should at least warn him that he might go blind.
