If you live in the USA you have definitely never had a good beer. That, you can only find in Europe. |

That's why Stone of San Diego is opening a place in Berlin, eh? Seems several craft brewers export to Europe. |
The complete and utter wrongness of this wrong statement is so wrong my mind cannot wrap itself around the full wrongitude of its wrongness. |

I see nothing wrong with a White Zin at, say a picnic on a warm day.
Its not like serving it with steak at a formal dinner. |
You're thinking about beer geeks. There's a difference. Beer snobs, such as myself, simply look down their noses at mass-produced mildly alcoholic fizzy water (AKA BudBudLightCoorsCoorsLiteMillerMillerLiteCorona). Beer geeks are the folks who bloviate about Original Gravity, and IBUs, and food pairings, etc. and I agree they can be pretty intolerable. |

I judge people who drink white zinfandel.
I judge people who drink Boone's Farm. And I judge my father a little for drinking cheap lambrusco when we go to italian restaurants, and get annoyed when he expects me to drink it too. other than that, who cares? I admire those who are wine agnostic - who are cool with either white or red - because I really only want to drink red, no matter how warm it is outside, and I know that might be kind of dumb.

Seriously, I don't get the White Zin hate. I have not done a side by side tasting of a White Zin against say, a French Rose, but if you want something light and slightly sweet and unsubtle and cheap for a picnic, is the latter really a better choice? |

Agreed! - "ooh, you've never had a good beer" PP |
| Nope, I'm just happy I'm not stuck with someone not drinking at all, thus forcing me to drink solo. As long as they're drinking, who the hell cares! |
LOL. I so agree. But dont tell a beer snob this- they will talk your ear off about hops and other things. I think it's a way for dumb/uncultured people to feel special. |
Tell that to my PHd-having, theatre-loving, beer snob husband. Or my very-welll-educated friends who just threw an amazing beer-tasting party for 100 of their friends. (Or me. I have a masters degree in an arts field, love good books, and a good drink. I prefer wine or whiskey to beer, but I really like a good beer from a good brewery.) |
