Get some real taste and drink a lager like a man.

Pussy.

Um... first of all, the beer in question IS a lager...

Second of all, you realize that "lagering" is the process of fermenting at a very cool temperture to avoid putting flavors into beer?

Pale ales, and India Pales, were made by the british to ship to their soldiers in other countries. they would take a typical light ale, add some hops to it (they used them as a perserving agent), and ship them. It's quite customary.

You want to be a real man? Come drink an Arogant Bastard, or a Ruination, or a Dogfishhead 120minute with me, and we'll see if you can handle a whole bottle.

pussy.

First off....umm of course I know Yuengling is a lager, thats the point.

You missed the point, the point is I was exaggerating what he was doing, back at him. Ale fans like to be snooty little asses, thinking they are above everyone else, but they don't seem to get through their thick skulls that its just a different kind of beer...its like a rum fan thinking they were better than a vodka fan.

Oh, and trust me, I can finish a bottle of any beer you can give me.

The reason ale drinkers are "snobby" is that they are incredibly more open minded. there are two types of beer: Ales, and lagers. Yes, stouts/porters/lambrics/belgians/pales/india pales/american stock/browns/cream/a whole lot of other stuff is all classified as ale. Lager, however, is much, much smaller, and the reason it doesn't get much recognition is that it has very little flavor comparably, and they all taste pretty much the same... which isn't a bad thing, it's what they are for. Just, what it looks like to us ale drinkers (I prefer lagers for long drinking sessions btw) is that it would be like someone saying "I like vegetables" when what they really mean is "I like corn, and nothing else".

Shiner BOCK is a lager
Newcastle is a brown ALE

My opinion on their taste has nothing to do with what style they are (though, in general, i do prefer ales and that they are brewed to have more character)


So what does the differentiation between ales and lager have to do with the discussion, Capt Tangent?

I thought Yuengling was available nationally!?

I've never heard of Shiner Bock

Let me guess...its a local beer that ISN'T as good as Yuengling and this hasn't gotten out of your area?

Well thats my mistake then. You had the tone of every other snooty ale drinker I've talked to.

I don't give a sh!t how they are different in their brewing process. What matters is the way they taste, and that difference I can tell.

You're still an idiot who likes sh!tty beer.

:beer:

Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson airplane, which cleared
the way for Jefferson starship. The stage was now set for the Alan
Parsons project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.

Shiner Bock is a microbrew that is sold nationally. I personally don't care for it.

Also the quantity of sales indicates very little when it comes to the quality of a beer.

Let me guess you think Britney Spears is a musical god because she sells millions of albums.

And yeah, Bud Light is the best beer ever because it is the best selling light beer. Give me a break.

As for the snooty ale drinker comment, that is about the dumbest thing I have read. There are good lagers and good ales on the market.

When I had more time on my hands, I used to only drink my own homebrew. Of course, my time is at a premium now so I end up drinking commercial beers.

One of the better beers that I drink is a Highland Oatmeal Porter.

Already pointed out: Shiner is nationally distributed. That changes your assumed tone now, doesn't it? You don't care about their brewing process... good... then don't bring it up. It was you, wasn't it?

What matters is the taste ... well, atleast you're on to something. I was able to express my subjective opinion regarding the taste of certain beers without resorting to name calling while you threw around assumptions and contradictions. That just gives a whole new light to the 'idiot' thing....
