Don't be so hard on yourself. Plenty of folks think they are smarter than everyone else. The trick is to not show them you aren't.

To me, as soon as you had to do research to show me up, I knew you probably aren't even old enough to drink. Let alone know anything about beer.

Stick to what you know. There has to be something. Find out what that is, and go with that.

So...no first hand knowledge of the beer culture? Don't worry. Some day you'll be old enough to drink. Then you can speak for yourself, instead of posting links.

Thanks, but no thanks. I do fine on my own.

and here's the thing.  in the grand scheme of things, i know very little.  i know my job and i know my hobbies.  they're a few sites that i enjoy browsing other than the huddle.  two happen to be http://www.beeradvocate.com/ and http://www.ratebeer.com/.  i find lots of interesting articles there.  beer advocate even has magazine that can be sent to your home.  no internetz required.

 

 a lot of older people aren't aware of the beer movement going on in the state.  of all the states i've lived in (again very little), nc is definitely up there when it comes to beer.  take it or leave it man.

i don't work in a brewery if that's what you're asking.  i've dabbled in home brewing with a few friends.  nothing to write home about though.

still not sure how giving you a list of serving temperatures, local nc beer map, and a few websites that i find entertaining, upset you.  either way, there's some cool stuff there if you want to look at it.

So what you are saying is that older people are still drinking the same beer they always have? Poor saps.

Most beer drinkers are plenty aware of what is happening in the beer industry. Believe it or not, some are even trying out new beers. Who knew? And they didn't need a magazine or interwebz to set them straight.

By the time you are old enough to drink you should be well versed in the whole beer scene. Good for you.

Beer is all about opportunity and taste. You can only taste the ones you have an opportunity to drink. Hellz, my local Liquor store has 2 walk in coolers, and 6 beers on tap. Plenty of opportunity to enhance the ol' palette. And I didn't have to read one article.

No, what did upset me was your first response to me.

america drinks cold beer because it's what the major beer companies/ distributors sell. mass-produced cheap lager and malt liquor needs to be cold.

ales are drank at a high temperatures. have you not heard of craft beer?

this comment is very ignorant and typical coming from an american.

But hey, my bad for thinking being called an ignorant American was not a bad thing.

 

Maybe you should try being more civil if you wish to impart your wisdom.

See we're breaking ground here. I love talking beer with older guys. And I'm not talking about the old drunks at the dive bar down the street.

But honestly, you sound like my 1st Sgt the day I met him, about 8 years ago. He says, "I've been in the service longer than you've been alive. What can you possibly do for me?" Then storms off. Months away from retirement, his head was already out of the game. Not much help to anyone and no faith in the guys trained to be the future. Maybe it was the computers that pissed him off.

This whole page is worthless.
