OK, by mentioning the secret handshake you have broken secret club rule 31.2(b) which means you have to have 3 PBR from a Styrofoam cup this weekend. I trust this shall be a lesson to us all.

Yes, a fair point.

We do ourselves a disservice if we give those ready to adventure on to new beer flavors the imrpession they need to know some secret handshake to enjoy them.

One of the things beer should have going for it is how accessible it is. A friendly drink.

One reason it’s accessible is that you can sample the best beers in the world at a reasonable price. Even if you are a working stiff.

Don’t you think there is something to the idea that beer nerds/geeks may be keeping people from joining their “club”?

What the writer doesn’t realize is he just crapped on all the local brewers making all those EXPENSIVE beers when in the end…those brewers probably make less $ than him! No doubt they make less than the mega-corporate giant brewers that supply Mr. Seate with his cheaper, styrofoam worthy choice.

Ugh!

I’ll be in Pittsburgh in a month. Damned if I won’t be dropping plenty of coin on expensive, local brew. Maybe I’ll even try out that styrofoam cup option?!?! Nah…

Cheers!
