Ok so I am a little drunk, but we will get to that later!! First of all, two things have shown me in the last 3 days that I am indeed an EAC and a beer snob...
Firstly, my girlfriend and I went out on a date monday night (its now 11:16PM wed night) (PS, thats not important!) so anyway, we went to this old school pub / steak house called "Hogs breath" done up with all the old gasoline pumps, parking meters etc etc. so anyway, she was driving so I decided I would have a beer or five with my meal. Now, I have not drunk comercial swill in about 3-4 months, as home brewing has been abundant lately... so anyway, I ordered a stella on tap.. well, I used to think Stella was the shiz niz, but when I tasted that atempt at a clean tasting, crisp beer my mouth puckered up... Needless to say I drank it, but when the waiter came back and asked me if I wanted another, I curtly replied that I would rather drink a lift over that, and I qoute "**** you have on tap, advertised as beer"... does this make me a bad person?
Secondly, the reason I am drunk tonight is because I just got back from work, and its techincally my weekend so I picked up a 6er of beers from the Bottle-O on the way home (I ran out of homebrews that were cold) well... I got home, cracked open a Cascade 'Premium' Lager... I almost spat it back in the bottle... I now have 3 pints of eds apfelwein inside me, 3 x 375ml stubbies of warm home brew and the other 4 'premium' lagers in me... I drank the lagers last as I need afew gateway drinks to numb the taste... I dont get it, before home brewing, cascade premium and stella on tap were what I beleive "ambrosia" among beer, and now a meer 6 months later and several awesome home brews under my belt, I can hardly drink the stuff... does this make me a SNOB? or am I just really drunk and am going to wake up in the morning reading this thinking "what the hell does this guy mean? oh wait... thats me"...
