    After Hours is a god-awful place for this thread.

    "Carlsberg Carlberg, craft beer is a rip off for ponces, etc, etc"! G'luck, OP!

    This day next week i will be in a bar that has 120 craft beers on tap, shipped in from all over the world and lying festering in the lines for who knows how long until some beer 'expert' nearly poisons himself on it, yet lauds it's uniqueness.

    Meanwhile, I'll stick to the Bud light and PBR at three dollars a pop and still be able to tolerate the smell of my own poop the next morning.

    Oh I know well what I'm getting myself into, and sure the great unwashed who drink whatever watered down swill diageo push on them love to give us smug hipster snobs a good ribbing over drinking expensive rubbish just to feel superior, and vice versa ;)

    If it is a direct draw setup with the lines sitting in a refrigerated space or on a glycol system, there is nothing wrong with it 'sitting' in the lines, it is as perfectly chilled as it it were sitting in the keg. Most places run off the first yard or so from the lines before pouring anyway (drives me nuts to see the waste, but ther you go, old yield management habits die hard)

    Might I suggest Mama's Little Yella Pils from Oskar Blues if your arm is twisted...

    The only thing 'hipster' about me is the prospect of the surgery... ;)
    Hippy rather than hipster thanks...

    Unless it is Budweiser. Then we can snicker, right?

    Beer is kind of like chips, there are some higher quality ones and some lower quality ones but at the end of the day you're still drinkin beer, man, be happy.
    I prefer porter/cider/whiskey myself but I'd never say no to a bottle of suds.

    Normally I don't, people's tastes vary so much. I mean, I just can't enjoy Belgian beers because I find them far too gassy and heavy for me, same with German ones, so I tend to go for ales. But on After Hours? Half of everyone's out to take the piss anyway. ;)
