@The_Compassionate_Heretic and @jonsblond I really disagree. Why serve moosepiss? What are we trying to prove here? That beer is innocuous? I think a sweet beer would be fine. Most people like sweetness. It is the hoppy bitterness that turns them off, or so I guess.
I think most people are afraid to show others the real thing, and I don’t just mean beer. I mean food, as well. To serve Rolling Rock is like serving a fast food hamburger. Sure, they are innocuous, so most people can down them without barfing, but at the same time, they have no character. And character, it seems to me, is ultimately what wins the heart, whether in food, beer, or love.
Obviously, we disagree on this, and we have different strategies, but I don’t think we should hide from experience. Go for the gusto, but it ain’t American Beer. At least, not the mass produced moose piss.
(Even the idea of drinking a Miller or a Bud makes me gag, and I only go to Micky D’s when I’m depressed (and I don’t care if I kill myself). The rest of the time, the thought of that food sends me to pray to the porcelain god.
