My tastebuds and the microbrewers have been lying to me for years. Those bastards.

That was actually a quote from the MSN blog, including the part about craft brewers lying to us. The only part that he actually typed was before the URL and after the quotation marks.

Personally, I'm not opposed to the idea of beer in a box though. Provided they can keep the beer from going flat, and the materials are recyclable. It could actually save energy. However, my subsequent argument would have to be that growlers (glass 1/2 gallon bottles filled with beer from your local brew-pubs) are even more energy efficient and much greener, because they are 100% reusable and cut out the carbon footprint from shipping.JustinHammond wrote:"Despite what the microbrewers will tell you, all beer is pretty much the same.

Hah, you're exactly right Justin. It makes me feel good that the comments on that blog in regards to the part about all beer being "pretty much the same" have been unilaterally scathing. I would throw in my two cents, but there are already more pages of comments than I care to read so I think the issue has been thoroughly addressed.

All beer is pretty much the same? What in the world do you know about beer? Apparently nothing!
