For me, ten times out of ten, it will be the former." I disagree, for me it is all about beer, our local is a sports bar with decent food, but we have a great beer lineup, which is more important than being a great bar!! If you really like beer, why would you rather drink macro swill, as opposed to a great micro? Of the nearly 3000 beers I have rated, most are certainly not macros...I don't get your logic, but I may soon have your job with an attitude like that!! “What it boils down to, I think, is whether you’d rather hang out in a great bar with a mediocre beer selection or a mediocre bar with a great beer selection.

Those last two elements are admittedly hard to define, but pivotal in my decision on whether or not to get "stuck in."

Mr Younger is a pretty cool guy to just soak up a conversation like that. As my own personal aside, one of my most memorable beer moments was a deer hunting trip with my father, uncle and brother just last year... Budweiser from a semi-cold can never tasted better. It was only beer after all. How cool is that? Mr Younger is a pretty cool guy to just soak up a conversation like that.

But beer is not a pub. Very different things. If I want to obsess about this fluid or that, well, that is not particularly sociable and I do not do it in a bar.
