I like to have a few beers on a hot summer day, particularly at the park when I play frisbee. I'd say I could have, oh, 1/10th of one fancy beer before it backed up on me, leaving me barfing sour, dark foam and wishing I hadn't opted for . Beer drinking is not to get wasted, although that's certainly the entertaining end result every so often, or to get all snooty about what a "great nose" or "earthy texture" or "complex bouquet" a goddamn beer has. It's to partner up with as you while away time, oftentimes for more than one beer or one hour. Beer, to me, is the common man's drink --- a social lubricant built not to get everyone instantly wasted, but rather to allow for hours of interaction. Moving it into elitist, asocial territory where simply liking --- *gasp* a macrobrew --- is worthy of condescension is the gravest of sins. Taste is subjective, not objective. I'd pretty much always have a mass produced lager (there are, of course, some exceptions) than some double IPA or cream stout or whatever else kind of "beer" that you can't drink more than one of. Some very few craft beers provide a welcome exception to the general rule that they pretty much fucking suck. I'll just have a Dos Equis (if I'm feeling particularly heavy in the wallet) or a nice Bud in the bottle, thank you very much. Generally the lagers of the world taste better to me than their ale-like counterparts. Oh, and to top it off I don't generally drink beers on tap if I can avoid it (unless I am pretty familiar with the establishment). I'm an anti-beer snob snob!
