Just bought 6pk of miller lite...

Oh look, another thread of enlightened gentleman, waxing poetic about their superb palates, their brewing prowess, and the superiority of their triple decoction, late hopped, barrel aged brew over the macrobrew swill all of the plebs drink.

Good thing your noses are so high in the air, it keeps your monocles from falling off.

TL;DR: I drink PBR and I enjoy it.

:cross:

TL;DR2: trying brewing your own American Light Lager and show those BMC dolts how easy it is.

I lived in India for a time and when I got back home I couldn't stand the 'bland' food. Had to dump a bottle of tabasco sauce on mac n' cheese in order to taste anything.

Think the same thing happens with beer. You get used to drink more flavorful beer and before you know it anything else tastes like water.

In honor of this thread in going to go home and drink me a Coors Light. Been sitting in my back yard at a crisp 45* all week.

I will not drink a beer I know I don't like. that just happens to be BMC and their light varieties. and I know that Light American Lager is a difficult style to brew, but we sure as flocc don't need to suck BMC balls and praise them for a crappy flavorless beer they produce consistently. we don't have to like BMCs because they are difficult to brew.

Billy,
Just once I would like you to tell us how you really feel!

This is the less tactful version of what I was trying to say earlier. Screw it, I'll jump on board. Every once in a while some bloated newb posts on HBT about how crappy BMC, Guinness, or New Castle is in order to establish a thinly veiled perception of superiority, yet few (if any) of these people are willing to even acknowledge nor respect the accomplishments of such facilities. Just because you brew (using simpler methods) with more ingredients to make a beer that has more flavor, does not make you a better brewer than the janitor at Coors. You don't have to like BMC in order to admire their levels of process control, precision, consistency, and quality control. Yeah, I get it, their beer is bland, and corporate beer is evil and all that.

Just because you use simpler methods and more ingredients to make a beer that has more flavor, does not make you a better brewer than the janitor at Coors.

I'm just saying that my sense of taste and my personal palate have shifted to the point that something I previously loved now tastes bland and undesirable. I'm a newbie, and I accept that. I saved it not ok t9 be amazed at these things as I learn more and more about the possibilities of beer? I would love to be the janitor at any of the big 3. At least I'd get to be around beer all day. I also wondered if anyone else has experienced such a palate shift after branching out ... lighten up, turdknockers.

Please don't take my rant personally. I'm generalizing about an all too common occurance on this site, and others like it. Even in microbrew taprooms across the country you'll find some college student with an Untappd account or someone on their third all grain batch ripping on the established (even Guinness, FFS). As both a long time hobby homebrewer, and and a professional brewer, it just irks me that people feel they need step on others to seem taller, when the real goal should be to learn everything you can from anyone you can. There are plenty of ways to grow and learn, but discrediting something to the point of dismissing it as a whole when you know hardly anything about it isn't helping anyone. Although, there was a time when I was new to homebrewing, so I don't make any personal judgments. I just like to rant.

I can learn from and appreciate any type of beer, and am glad to. example : I am at a bar I've never been to before. The only non-bmc choices are new Belgium fat tire, or abita's wrought iron ipa. Haven't liked an ipa to date, but I decided to try it out just because. I freaking love it, lol.

 

[HAREEBROWNBEEST]

tell him what I told my boss, "Grow some balls and drink a beer with some flavor. You need to harden the flocc up." so I gave him some home brew. I believe it was a Rye DIPA big on Cascade and Citra. he said my beer was too strong flavored for him and he was buzzed off one beer. i told him he had delicate taste buds and, "Everyone has personal taste. Thanks for being honest, sissy."

Billy Klub- your an interesting character, right on bro your a cool mother ****er. My boss says his neighbor brought him an IPA and he was gone afyer two, probably a shock top, ha ha ja ha ja hA

That's the idea! You will get far with that attitude. Mind you, my rant wasn't personal towards you or anyone in particular. I was a beginner once. Nobody is born with information. Listen to accomplished brewers, observe accomplished operations and facilities, and save your bias until you understand.

Hah, 6 down now, and I'm feeling my warm and fuzzy.

 

[Beek]

I don't know if anyone is being stuck up asses. I just know that I don't enjoy BMC at all. I don't think there is anything wrong about saying that we'd rather drink homebrew, craft beer or water than BMC. It's just our personal tastes. In college I drank a ton of Bud Light. It wasn't until I became a business owner and wanted to support other Michigan businesses that I started drinking craft beer. My tastes have changed a lot since then and I'd just rather not drink BMC. I have mad respect for their brewers, I just don't like their products.

 

[ubnserved]

If someone offers a beer, no matter the brand, it is rude to refuse, unless during work hours.

Wait, hold on a second there. ... are you telling me that your boss never offers during work hours?

 

[ubnserved]

the things I have done for comedy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93nD67fX274

That still makes me laugh. ... so did you pour out the rest of that "beer" or did you drink it? And how old was it really?

 

[ubnserved]

only with cashew and/or almond chunks.ipe:

whaaat? No corn?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

it was horrible, but I think I drank it. it was at least 4 years old. I have 3 more in the basement.

whaaat? No corn?

no corn in my beer and no corn in my poop!

 

[beerenstein]

My boss is my father and boss. I am 100% Sure he never offers or accepts alcohol on job.

My grandfather. Who started the business, however, was raised in a different time altogether, lol.

We have our first offender for Godwin's Law, everybody!

On one hand you have a style of beer that outsells any other by a very large margin, but is criticized for its bland flavor by the minority. This bland beer poses no threat against humanity, and people voluntarily patronize it. On the other hand you've got a terrible atrocity against human kind that was systematically killing people organized by a deluded maniac. Yeah, I don't see your analogy as being sound. Sorry. Find a new way to hate corporate beer.

 

[OhCrap]

I can't believe that I used to drink miller lite because I liked the "flavor " better than bud lite, Busch lite, and Coors lite...

Wow. I believe that my taste buds may have evolved or something over the last several months.

Any thoughts from others on this subject?

You must have serious tastebuds....you were able to "TASTE" a flavour, let alone a difference in flavour, in the above mentioned WATER 😜

 

[Psylocide]

You guys are all so cool. Lol.

WATER. CRAP. HITLER. DERMERGRD.
