Would you rather I throw around insults and witty, cocky arrogance in response to the typical whiny Upper Canada postings about the government not having a store on every street corner containing every beer on the ratebeer and beeradvocate top 100 at a price of $6/bomber? I haven't done that for awhile...
How long do you have to be drinking beer, or craft beer not to be considered new to it?markaberrant wrote:OMG, I just have to say, that I totally love craft beer! It's the best.

Long enough to not write idiot posts like I just satirized.Wray77 wrote:How long do you have to be drinking beer, or craft beer not to be considered new to it?
There are lots of good people on here, and lots of good discussions, but trying to force it is a little ridiculous, unless you just want a bunch of clueless ninnies acting like preteen girls at a Justin Bieber concert... though I suppose that would help you gauge the popularity of craft beer in Ontario a little better.

Sorry that the beer scene in Toronto, Ontario, Canada isn't as vibrant as your oasis that is Portland, but it is getting there.
Fuuuuck, people. The OP's original post was pretty inocuous but has brought up a lot of bile. I know it's easy to be dickish on the interwebs, but why be a dick at all? If I was a newbie or a 30 year veteran of craft beer, I wouldn't want to sit down and have a pint with anyone who was half as smug and condescending as some of the posts in this thread....and it doesn't have anything to do with "how thick" anyones skin is. Not to say I wouldn't have a pint with anyone in this thread, I've never met a BT'er I didn't like, just that I would politely excuse myself and come back when their mood improved.
It's only beer. Just sit back, relax and enjoy.
Wray77, I hope you stick around and keep contributing to interesting discussions here.
