I didn't want to abuse the Chub last night for you all to see. I just wanted to suck the head down.
Thats what she said.

Co-worker "I don't like IPA's, I only drink Ales"...... I just smiled, didn't want to be "That Guy"
For Christmas last year, my younger son gave me a heavy square shot glass. It has a pewter plaque on the side, engraved with "That Dad."Co-worker "I don't like IPA's, I only drink Ales"...... I just smiled, didn't want to be "That Guy"

This happened at my local craft beer pub.
A guy comes in and sits a few spaces down from me. The bartender comes up and the guy orders a PBR. The bartender says "we don't have PBR". The guy says "What do you mean? There's a Neon PBR sign in the window". The bartender says "OK we really do have PBR but this is a craft brew pub. Why don't you let me recommend some craft brews that you might like better than PBR". The guy agrees and after having a couple of bartender recommended craft brews the guy is no longer a PBR guy.
After the guy leaves I ask the bartender about what happened. He said "I think it's my job to show people uneducated about beer what REAL beer tastes like and sometimes I go to the extreme... But it usually works.
At that pub I have seen similar things happen numerous times after that. Great attitude and converting people one at a time.

Well... it is... a great beer to marinade chicken wings in with a little thyme.
Chicken wings with thyme? Gross. Why not try some of this expensive sage I have? It's not the same, not what you wanted, but i like it so you will, too.
I think some of us may be reading too much into the post:

Doesn't sound rude or pretentious to me. We all got started drinking craft beer at someone's suggestion, and we've all suggested it to others. If a guest in my house asks for a light beer, there may be one in the basement. But I'd also offer him a Centennial Blonde.
It's not his house, it's a bar. With a neon sign advertising a particular brand. Give the customer what he ordered AND offer samples of similar beers.
