not everything in life is sweet or salty or sour. some things are bitter. many people will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid bitterness. but with beer, you choose bitterness. you drink it. you conquer it. that's power.

Lol beer nerds. I love it when somebody tells me they're into microbrews, it's such a unique and mint exciting 'hobby', please tell me more about you rationalising your alcoholism.

BossRighteous posted:Natty light is the only beer I know of that is void of all after taste. This is an important factor for me. It's become my baseline flavor profile. I thought that was what the appeal of PBR was supposed to be. Like all of the American adjunct lager piss beers have additives to create some semblance of a flavor but PBR just says gently caress it and sells their flavorless corn syrup/rice beer as-is.

Hurr let's get drunk off beers. *3 hours and 16 beers later, is still able to stand up with minimal wobbling and form sentences* Learn to drink like real men and chug bottom shelf whiskey until you black out and are too uncoordinated to beat you're family properly.

Also it's funny how the whole country seems to have just found out about beers in the last 5 years. Also it's funny how they can't buy it until they're 21. Also it's funny how they can't handle their booze at all.

^^^ Hey alright! I guess I don't have Alzheimers yet!TOILETLORD posted:laws changed so small companies could make beer legally Well, when you have three manufacturers of beer in the USA, major markets only, that could literally crush the life out of any start up, anywhere, at any time. Something has to give or we go back to standard oil Little hazy on this next part, because it's been awhile since I looked this up. It was one of the majors that started the move to a more diverse market.

There is a problem, though. The value-through-what-is-consumed is entirely illusory. There is no there there. This is what you can really learn about a person by understanding his or her cultural consumption, the movies, music, fashion, media, and assorted other socially inflected ephemera: nothing. Absolutely nothing. The internet writ large is desperately invested in the idea that liking, say, The Wire, says something of depth and importance about the liker, and certainly that the preference for this show to CSI tells everything. Likewise, the internet exists to perpetuate the idea that there is some meaningful difference between fans of this band or that, of Android or Apple, or that there is a Slate lifestyle and a This Recording lifestyle and one for Gawker or The Hairpin or wherever. Not a word of it is true. There are no Apple people. Buying an iPad does nothing to delineate you from anyone else. Nothing separates a Budweiser man from a microbrew guy. That our society insists that there are differences here is only our longest con. This endless posturing, pregnant with anxiety and roiling with class resentment, ultimately pleases no one. Yet this emptiness doesn’t compel people to turn away from the sorting mechanism. Instead, it draws them further and further in. Faced with the failure of their cultural affinities to define an authentic and fulfilling self, postcollegiate middle-class upwardly-oriented-if-not-upwardly-mobile Americans double down on the importance of these affinities and confront the continued failure with a formless resentment. The bitterness that surrounds these distinctions is a product of their inability to actually make us distinct. The savviest of the media and culture websites tap into this resentment as directly as they dare. They write endlessly about what is overrated. They assign specific and damning personality traits to the fan bases of unworthy cultural objects. They invite comments that tediously parse microscopic distinctions in cultural consumption. They engage in criticism as a kind of preemptive strike against those who actually create. They glamorize pettiness in aesthetic taste. The few artistic works they lionize are praised to the point of absurdity, as various acolytes try to outdo each other in hyperbole. They relentlessly push the central narrative that their readers crave, that consumption is achievement and that creators are to be distrusted and “put in their place.” They deny the frequently sad but inescapable reality that consumption is not creation and that only the genuinely creative act can reveal the self.

VendaGoat posted:Lot of words for, "people use knowledge to gain advantage over others." well it's not only that, it's addressing a certain malaise which is really more universal, although its specific expression here is unique to our culture it is absolutely accurate that creativity expresses and grows one's being, but there is a form of consumption that is creative (not the kind these people are doing though)
