I don't get why certain beers are up for such contempt on this board? It's like everything else - you like it, you DON'T like it, but why try to make OTHER people feel somehow inferior if THEY like it?
We all have preferences. If yours doesn't run to Fat Tire, that's great, there are a zillion other choices out there. Personally, I can't stand a lot of the beers that some people on here rave on and on about - but I don't make it a point to come in here and start a thread saying "why the hell would anyone drink this crap?" (or that's the gist anyway!)
I'm glad to have so many choices, and even more glad that KOTC and I brew our own now - it's fun and we love the results. But I'll still drink a Fat Tire or some other "lesser" beer when out and about. [shrug]
I just read through the whole thread and I didn't see any condescending comments or people really hating on the beer. The general consensus seems to be that it's ok but just not that interesting. I can see how people used to drinking more overtly flavorful beers could have certain expectations because of Fat Tire's enormous popularity, and then be disappointed when it doesn't match those expectations. I mean, I agree with your general sentiment, I just don't really see it happening in this particular thread.
Maybe saying "it sucks" in the title is a bit hyperbolic, but I didn't take that too seriously.
