My post with the wording confusion has been fixed. I apologize.
And I don't want to hear your overzealous noob comments because I am a new poster. I have been enjoying beer for a long time. Lager does not = Bud light. there are good lagers if that's the style you want. the only reason to drink swill is price. if you drink it, go ahead. I have a lot of friends that do. but don't get on here praising the merits of BMC. that is nonsensical horse piss, both the logic and the drink.
The majority of the responsibility for the lack of craft beer on my grocery store shelf lies with the American consumer. The general public are generally ignorant about a lot of things.
You can tell a lot about someone if they are slamming big macs every day and say 'gross' when someone brings up a good restaurant. Our ability to distinguish between quality, whether it be aesthetic or moral or otherwise, speaks a lot about who we are.

The quote is obviously hyperbolic, saying 'bad people.' but I will say that I enjoy being around people who have an appreciation for good things. if I want to talk about literature I sure as hell will not enjoy sitting down with someone who reads harlequin romance novels and shrugs off any other book. If I want to talk about good creative food I'm not going to look for someone on urban spoon who's favorite restaurant is burger king. If I want to talk about fashion i probably won't seek out someone who looks like their grandmother dressed them. And experience tells me that when someone displays a total lack of discretion in several of these areas, they will have the same type of indiscretion with various other subjects. My redneck neighbor who brings home a 30 of miller lite every 2 days is a nice enough guy but I'm not going to try to talk beer with him.
That's trollish....

the best beer I have ever had was a bud light after packin an elk. There is definitely a time and place for the light domesticated brotherin
The majority of the responsibility for the lack of craft beer on your grocery store shelves lies with you, because you choose to live in Louisville. I have at least 100 craft beers to choose from and that's just at the major grocers. Many of them are brewed within 100 miles of me. Sure there's BMC there, but only the rednecks drink that.
However, if you want to swig bourbon and watch the horses you're set. Don't go to Paris and complain because you can't find good barbeque. Don't go to Kansas City and bitch because you can't get a great baguette.
The BMC drinkers might not understand your upper echelon beverages, but I can guarantee you they aren't bitching about them.
