Anyone who doesn't think you can develop a taste for the right mix of malt, grains, and hops is just an idiot. And anyone who thinks there is no difference between a hand-crafted ale and a lite American beer has a complete lack of taste buds to go along with their lack of brains. I'm not trying to put my beer-snob hat on here, just saying that beers and wines have been perfected for thousands of years, and that many people spend virtually their lives developing discriminating tastes for fine beers and wines, like you would fine cheeses or mushrooms or something, and that most of these people don't give a rat's ass about getting snockered. Dismissing beer generically is just plain silly. Loring Wirbel Monument, Colo. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
