So, you are at a non-craft beer place... What do you order?

[Homercidal]

In the rare instance I go out, I usually drink whatever is on special or free. I had problems with allergies, so I backed way off the BMC and Yuengling for a while. Funny someone mentioned Yuengling in Florida - I had a horrible reaction to it there while the yueng in PA never hit me that bad. I'm blaming the 'beechwood' for the bud allergy, and the preservatives in yuengs. Coors never gave me any problems, but then again, coors isn't really beer. As someone told me in college - Coors Light is like making love in a rowboat. F***ing close to water.

Amazingly since I've switched to homebrew, I have had no allergy problems.

Hmm... is Coors and Bod both made with rice? I prefer corn added, personally. That's why I choose Miller over Bud, or an all-malt beer over the others if it's available.

 

[Germelli1]

I would order a bud light, or a bud or hopefully a PBR if they carry it. And thoroughly enjoy it. And be happy it didn't cost an arm and a leg like most craft beers on tap. And not enter a bar thinking I am better than everyone else for irrationally hating BMC and those who drink it

Yuengling isn't bad, but I certainly wouldn't buy it if it wasnt $5 a six pack

 

[Mongrel]

It would be hard to find a place in Oregon that didn't have a decent IPA on tap, but if such a place existed, I'd go with PBR.

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

Personally if there was a decent selection and it came at a reasonable price I would get some scotch. OK, but you said that wasn't an option for you...

I'm not beyond drinking mass-produced beer if I am in the mood for a drink and that's my option. However, I don't feel like I have to drink just because I can drink, so if I don't feel like I have to drink, it's time for water. It's not worth the money and calories to drink just because I feel like I have to.

does anyone else see the irony of the OP having a picture of Negra Modelo as his avatar?

 

[optimatored]

Irish Pub place... Guinness
some other... maybe a drink or Boston Lager, but often its an old keg so I ask to try it first

I have to finally ask... what the F is BMC? Now EAC? I am completely out of the loop here! Please someone make me more edumucated.

 

[Germelli1]

Bud/Miller/Coors. EAC you have to find on your own

 

[Bmorebrew]

Reevy - Do you really have to bash people all the time?

As I've read this post, no Revvy was not bashing.

Further, I'm with his mentality that beer is still beer. Sure, I will always end up ordering a higher quality beer when available, but if only BMC (maybe Yuengling or Natty Boh or other regional specialty) is available,then so be it. I drink one of those.

Do you only ever eat the highest quality gourmet food? Do you only shop at Whole Foods and never reduce yourself to eating such bourgeois things as non free-range chicken wings made from locally sourced chili peppers and fresh whole cream butter?

People really need to get over themselves and decide how much of this beer snobbery is just manufactured image pursuit. In the end it does nothing but hurt our hobby.

 

[KoedBrew]

BMC=Bud/Miller/Coors
EAC=Still don't know

I usually just order water or coke if there are no choices other than light beers, and I am really not a fan of yuengling.

As, for wine, this past weekend while on Military Duty, many of those guys will give you a hard time about drinking wine, but I would still do it if I wanted wine and it fit the situation. We were in a bar watching a Phillies game, I just don't order wine in that situation...And wine can make me tired fast.

Someone called you pompous, someone else called you insecure in your masculinity, and you're saying I'm bashing you with MY post? Really?

Go back and read what I wrote....I answered what I drank and why....

And i'm sure you are smart enough to search for the answer to what EAC means. There's even a clue in my post.

And it's REVVY, not REEVY...

REVVY, I don't want an argument, I just wanted to discuss this, but this is at least the second maybe the third post I have made where you have said something I would consider a bash/insult...the guys that said the other two have never done that before.

As for what you wrote, you edited it, your original post was only

+ 1,000

EAC bmc bashing threads are so tiring.....

 

[Tall_Yotie]

Bud/Miller/Coors. EAC you have to find on your own

Thanks for the BMC definition. For EAC, I have looked around and all I have found is that folks on the forum tell people to look for the meaning of EAC. As far as I can find, E stands for "Elitist", which if you tell someone to find it becuase they are new and not in the know MAKES you an Elitist. Might be fun to say "Look it up on your own" but it comes off as being a jerk, to be honest.

Elitist A**h**e C**t?

 

[KoedBrew]

does anyone else see the irony of the OP having a picture of Negra Modelo as his avatar?

Ok so the Negra Modelo...
That is a picture I took in Costa Maya, they had Corona and Negra Modelo, which I had never tried prior to visiting Costa Maya. It wasn't horrible, but better than Corona. I also wanted it to take a picture for the "Beer as Art" Thread!

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

I'd order food.

 

[NewTexian]

I order a Dos Equis and get over myself...

 

[Pappers_]

For a Chicago Fire soccer playoff game two years ago (conference finals), I waited too long to get tickets and the only seats available were on the 'Miller Lite Party Deck'. Only Lite and Highlife were available on the party deck, I drank them and had a great time.

Usually at the games, though, I will walk around the stadium to the one or two beer vendors who sell good beer. Oddly, since Chicago has five or six breweries, none of those local beers are available at the stadium. That annoys me. Drink fresh and local.

You my friend, have hit the nail on the head.

 

[optimatored]

BMC SOLVED... phew!

 

[BrewThruYou]

I'm not sure if the OP is a troll or was totally unaware that he came off as a super-pompous snob that absolutely deserves to get flamed.

Lol at the elitist comment. The term is kept off the forum as fun and the term came from someone throwing an EPIC rage tantrum. It is like a right of passage. It should be super simple to find if you are a premium member since the thread is hidden behind the google wall!

 

[IrregularPulse]

I usually go with a Sam Adams or occasionally a Miller Lite.

I admitted to being a beer snob, but really? I voice my opinion that there are beers I do not like and you think I deserve to get flamed??
Ok, so I guess I will just go to a place and spend money on beer that I don't like just because its beer.
I don't want to drink crap if I do not enjoy it, and I don't need alcohol to have a good time.
I just wanted to see if other Home brewers felt similar??

 

[Barnzy02]

Why would i go to a non-craft beer place???

 

[Germelli1]

Lol so much fail

 

[BrewThruYou]

Yes.

Life is about choice and you are perfectly fine to do as please. But once you say that you are above certain beers, your tastebuds are "spoiled," that wine is "feminine" and that Sam Adams is tough to drink, you deserve to get flamed. You are pretty much saying that you look down on people who drink BMC, your tastebuds are superior to most and are more of a man than males who drink wine.

If you made all those choices at the bar and kept it to yourself, fine. But you dropped the holier-than-thou, pompous attitude on us...so put your flame-retardant suit on and head on over to BA.

qft

 

[bottlebomber]

And which is more "feminine": drinking a glass of wine, or being concerned about your waistline from what you are eating?

Pffff fff ffff!!!

 

[jarod7736]

As a homebrewer, are you somehow required to drink beer everywhere you go? Even if it's something you don't really like? If so, i'm f'ed... I don't drink beer with my meals usually. I don't even drink every night.... The horror! If there's something good, i'll get it, if not, i'll have water, tea, coke, etc...

 

[Piratwolf]

I just generally avoid bars without "good" beers (in other words, beer I like!). If I don't like it, I won't drink it, mostly b/c the taste is not worth the calories.

On the plus side, I do like PBR which is fairly ubiquitous in these parts.

 

[BrewThruYou]

Absolutely not. However, there is a difference between just doing that and doing it and then starting a thread bragging about how much of a snob you are.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

um, PBR. Alotta 'bad beer' places have guinness or Newcastle, those aren't half bad on tap. Or, if there's really no beer available that I like, water with lemon is always refreshing. Beers beer, why bash one, just cuz YOU don't enjoy it doesn't mean others don't, otherwise it wouldn't be available for purchase.
