Maybe there are people who like the taste of Budweiser.
The arrogance & attitude that many of the craft beer people display on this forum gets very annoying at times.
Just because some people don't agree with you does not mean there is something that is wrong with them.

I also prefer to dine at local establishments as opposed to chains, primarily for quality reasons, but also because I care about supporting my local community. That said, I do dine at the occasional chain, and if somebody offers me a cold bud light on a hot day, 9 times out of 10 I am going to accept it.
Now that this is out of the way, I find myself often rolling my eyes at the general sentiments of this board. "If someone doesn't like what I like, then they are either: wrong, stupid, inferior, less-cultured, blah blah blah..."
I also don't understand why Roger's "schtick" is acceptable and cute, where as someone like Brian Curl's is not accepted.
They both come across as sophomoric, closed-minded, and primarily here to rile everyone up. The sad thing is, I agree with much of what Roger says (Che Guevera wallets and other spoiled-college-freshman-with-a-chip-on-his-shoulder memes aside), but his presentation of said beliefs makes me want to grab a homophobic chicken sandwich and wash it down with an Old Milwaukee(for which I still have a soft spot from my college days).
