Am I a beer snob?

I think one becomes a snob, not by choosing to drink good beer, or only good beer, but by degrading or making fun of others because of what they drink.

A beer snob could be somebody who’s never had anything other than Bud, Miller Light, and Coors, but only drinks Coors cause that’s his beer and harasses anybody who drinks anything else.

A beer snob can also be somebody who’s tasted a thousand beers but complains at a cookout because the host only has Bud Light and not some rare import.

To me, it has more to do with your actions and demeanor than the quality of beer you drink

I hate being called that! They give us that name because we don’t drink Bud, Coors, Molson, etc...

So we tried some other the pale lagers and we liked it, does that make us snobs? People calling us "that" are real snobs, especially if they won’t try what we are drinking. I realy don’t give a shit if they only want to drink nothing big brand name beers, but it’s my money, my taste, I’ll buy and drink what ever the fuck I like!

FU snobs!

A simple method to avoid snobbery: Like what you like. Don’t be a dick about it.

This applies to dealing with non-beer geeks and fellow beer geeks. I would rather sit around drinking Corona and chatting with good (non-beer geek) friends than listen to another beer geek gas on and on about the "glaring flaws" of beer "X" and how he can’t understand how so many people can like it so much. Of course, we’re all guilty of this from time to time, but as long as you are conscious of it and take steps to keep yourself in check, understanding that taste in anything is always subjective, then you’re good.
