If you served Budweiser to a beer snob out of an unmarked tap in a craft bar and told him on the menu it was a smooth, crisp beer brewed since 1892 in a Slovak monastery, the dopey hipster prick would be raving about it whilst simultaneously badmouthing Bud as commercial crap. I remember n article a while back when they gave critics Tesco branded wine and gave them another Tesco wine but with a fake label the critics slated the branded wine and raved about the unmarked Tesco wine.

Sunglasses Ron wrote: » Of course they would. Budvar is a highly regarded Czech beer. Bud is regarded as yank toilet water. Apart from the fact Budvar has slightly more of a kick to the taste due to its slightly higher alcohol volume Budweiser and Budvar taste nearly identical. Try telling that to a beer snob. You'd have more chance of getting blowjob off the pope.

Great ciy for a lads session but **** you get pretty bored of drinking Pilsner Urquell (??) and Gambrinus (?) for a week straight.

Is there literally not one popular beer that is decent according to the snobs? What is so awful about the common mans tastes that the liKes of Heineken and Carlsberg have to apparently make themselves awful?

I reckon within 100 years someone will set up a "real" Irish draught brand, and Guinness will become regarded as commercial touristy ****e that is contaminated by the Bud and other big names brewed in the same plant.
