Beer snobbery is an odd odd snobbery.

People who talk all flowery and fantasy about the different craft beers, and go on comparing the different wines and spirits are just talking horse sh*t and trying to lord it over us.

The probably have beards, wear lots of tweed & wooly jumpers & smoke a pipe too.

They're bull sh*tters.

Alcohol is alcohol, mostly its lovely stuff but too much of a good thing is a bad thing and its that simple.

Don't let people dazzle you with fancy German names, or cosy Austrian village bars & Belgian bullshit this, that and the other ~ they're talking through their holes.

Too much alcohol = hangover.

I remember the most popular beer in the North was Harp and Caffreys was popular too. It's been a while since I last drank there though

Is Harp sold in the south? It was brewed in Dundalk but I don't think that's the case anymore..

Harp has to give the absolute worst hangover ever. It really is toxic stuff.

I lived in Dundalk in the early 90's and it was always on promotion so was the drink of choice for us students.

Damn it was bad.

I still feel a bit ill when I'm up north and hear someone ordering pints of the stuff.

Some places have it. My local country pub has always had it for some reason.

It's actually a nice beer, often used to buy cans of it before Bavaria came along and always drink it in the north or in Scotland if I'm in either of them places.

Harp will give you a hangover as you're drinking it, it doesnt even wait until the next morning.

In other words you don't like beer?

Too much alcohol = hangover.

At least you got this part right.

Yeah, thats a nonsense post by Makikomi. As if there is no differences in ingredients, quality, brewing process etc. Some beers are superior to others as it is with wine, cheese, burgers, singers, whatever.

You were too busy grooming your awesome beard & waxing your Brooks B17 saddle on your fixie bike to have read what I typed weren't you?.

Right I'm off to get an eight pack of Druids cider and sit out in this rare sunshine.

You could at least have some manners.

I read your post perfectly well. Saying that alcohol is alcohol is implying that you haven't tried a great enough variety of beers to tell the difference. And saying that people who talk positively about all the different craft beers are talking horseshit is horseshit in itself. People tend to talk about what interests them, and most of these people tend to know what they're talking about.

Exactly, throw a sweeping generalisation out there about people who like different types of beers to a lot of the piss sold on tap in most pubs and then get wanky when questioned on it.

.

Methanol is an alcohol, ethanol is an alcohol. I would not say they are all the same and have the same effect, and your beer and cider will have methanol in it in vary amounts, so its not some smart pedantic comment about methanol being an alcohol. There are lots of other compounds produced too which will give ill effects. Some may even reduce hangover, so some drink high in these byproducts could give less hangover than a very pure spirit like skyy vodka.

Apple juice is naturally high in pectin, they often add in more pectin to help the apple juice clear. Brews with lots of pectin result in methanol being produced along with pectin.

This is why ciders are more reknowned for giving hangovers, there is even a term called "apple palsy" describing the effects of cider or "apple brandy"/"apple jack"

To cut costs brewers will increase fermentation temperatures to speed things up which can produce way more of these.

There's no evidence that craft beer drinkers know what they are talking about. None are experts. I've had some atrocious craft beer and some good craft beer. The quality control within brands isn't great either.

But beer, unlike other alcohol like whiskey, spirits and wine , doesn't really show major price differences between the top and mass market stuff. Craft beer is slightly more expensive and that's probably down to lower volumes having higher costs, not the materials, rarity or production values.

I haven't seen much of it in the south, I think some older places might have it

I don't remember seeing Harp in Scotland when I lived there. The Irish bars I went to served Guinness, Kilkenny or Magners. I haven't drank it in a long time. I'd be curious to give it a try again.

It was in most of the pubs we drank in in Edinburgh the times we were over there (finnegans and dropkick Murphys being two I can remember the name of). Would be going back 7 or 8 years now since we were there last though..

Not necessarily true. Where I live, beer production is taken very seriously as there is a massive selection of beers here.
Many beer companies here win awards for the standard of beer and take a lot of pride in it.

I agree with your point that there are good and bad beers though.

Op, I think it must be said that you have woken up sadder, bud weiser.

You aint missing much, so I wouldn't bother.

As for Budweiser, it was one of my go to beers when I started drinking years ago. Hate the stuff now, and would rather drink my own piss. Even amongst the "standard" lagers there are so many better beers.
