Let Your Taste Be Your Guide

Beer used to be considered an alcoholic beverage for the working class. It was inexpensive and plentiful. You certainly never had to worry about a bar not having beer available.

At one time, the only beer that was available was domestic beer. People drank what was brewed locally and were satisfied with that. Now that foreign beers are available in bars and stores, it seems as if drinking a local product isn’t, well, cool anymore. Have we become a bunch of beer snobs? Since when should we be influenced by what type of beer is “cool” to drink?

There is nothing wrong with trying a different brand to see if you like it, but don’t be influenced by what anyone else tells you that you “should” be drinking. The brand of beer you should drink is the brand that you happen to enjoy the most. Instead of trying to impress other people with how cool we are because of our choice of ale, why don’t we just drink what we like instead? Does it matter what anyone else thinks about our choices in beer or anything else we decide we want to consume? I think not.
