True, many 'wine people' look down on beer. I was in a liqour store several years ago that had "tastings" on Friday evenings. I stopped in to buy whatelse? BEER. Anyway I ramble on in and there's all these people dressed up standing around a table with the owner holding a bottle. Usually....I don't pay attention. I've had a dixie cup of wine and smiled...but that's about it. This time...I paid ATTENTION. Was a bottle of Utopia....I elbowed my way to third in line real quick!! All the people milling around seemed disappointed when she announced it was a beer sampling that evening. When it became my turn (dressed in dirty jeans and dirty t-shirt because I just got off work...) She asked "Do you know what this is?"....My reply..." I can't beleive your pouring this out for free." Guy behind me asked why....and I told him that the bottle was well over a hundred dollars....He seemed to like his sample......lol.....
