  For real, nothing better than an ice cold bottle of classic American suds on a hot summer day, I don't get the appeal of drinking something that taste like it's been brewed with syrupy tree bark and dog shit, and leaves your gut bloated like you had 10 regular American macros.
context: Never complain kid.
  Options are good, even silly douchy hipster named ones.
  I'm old enough to remember the BEFORE TIME.  Back when "good beer" was "Genesee Cream Ale".
  We live in an age of wonder for beer.  Options are a good thing.  All US beer used to be terrible crap. >
  
  I liked the craft beer scene of about 10 to 15 years ago. You went from having a half dozen kinds of beers to choose from to a few dozen, and this made it easier to find a beer you actually liked. Nowadays, it seems like every pub is a brewpub or is getting their beer from different craft breweries and you never know whether you will like what they have on tap. >

  Beer is SUPPOSED to be low brow, simple, cheap, and uncomplicated. And I mean all of those as compliments, not criticisms.  I'm not saying there is no good beer or bad beer, but it does seem like the entire craft beer thing... is missing the point.  Or at least "a" point.
  I mean at the end of the day a few thousand years ago someone decided to take a swig of the leftover bread water after it had been left out in the sun for too long.   It seems weird to put a bowtie on that.
  It's like when high fancy restaurants have an upscale version of a Sloppy Joe.
  But on the other hand I occasionally supplement an my ordinary stock of Coca-Cola with a high end craft Soda brand from England, so maybe I'm talking out of my ass.  *Shrug* >
  
  The thing is though, anything can be as simple or as complex as you like. What's wrong with a variety, especially when it comes to something that can have a divisive "base" flavor. >
  
  I typically go to dives and biker bars. Real biker bars with 1%ers, no crotch rockets. I don't like my beer to taste like pine cones and cough syrup.
