why would you want to feed the trolls when they are perfectly capable of feeding themselves. ??

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.

Welcome to HBT, I think. If I want to drink bud light because I like it, what is wrong with that?

You sound like an EAC that won't help with the cause of furthering craft beer.

I'm trying to ignore you, really hard, but I failed. What's my problem?

 

[DannPM]

Passedpawn, I've been lured back to this thread too. I'm blaming it on my beer consumption tonight.

[LouisvilleBrews]

I guess I can believe that people "like" bud light but don't they usually just like getting drunk

 

[bob1852]

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.

So because I drink bud light I'm a bad person?

Quack, quack.

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.

So as a 10+ BJCP medalist (none in the light American layer category), you won't talk beer with me because I also drink bud light? Your loss I guess...

Again, welcome to the forum, but you do sound quite EACish. That's trollish....

 

[passedpawn]

That's trollish....

Sucka

 

[bob1852]

Sucka

Yup.

 

[LouisvilleBrews]

If you read general statements and immediately apply them to yourself without evaluating their validity, then get defensive, then start making childish animal sounds, then start listing your credentials to me, then I don't care to talk anything with you. I don't really care how many medals you have, Michael phelps.

 

[justins2582]

Stop feeding the trolls and they'll stop coming back for more. I hate when these threads get this long. quit b*tching and get to brewing.

 

[LouisvilleBrews]

Although honestly neither of those analogies would probably apply to you, since I'm guessing you don't only slam 30 packs of bud light every day and you probably don't say gross to good craft beer. but if you just enjoy being defensive then that's cool

apparently that's all misunderstanding and craft beer propoganda according to HBTers

 

[HoppyDaze]

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.

Hell yeah, after hiking out elk quarters late at night, bud light is the nectar of the gods. An oaked imperial stout just wouldn't do it in this situation.

really?

seems like maybe you had road trip through KY and bad things happened...

Who cares man? Take it easy.

 

[jgln]

Very funny and entertaining thread.

 

[bengerman]

quit b*tching and get to brewing.

Sums up half of this forum.

 

[Gear101]

I think BL is a good beer, and have drank many of them and will drink more of it. It's a hard beer to clone and the number one selling beer for In-Bev, so many people that hate BL are wrong and the people that enjoy it know beer better than other's, or it wouln't be the number one, the beer in my carboy would be and i'd be making bilions.

You can tell a lot about someone if they are trolling around and bumping a two month old thread just to stir up trouble. They are the kind of people who will not stay welcome in this forum for long.
