You make unsolicited suggestions to others shopping in the beer aisle 8. You’ve left a party because the selection wasn’t up to your standards 9. You can’t seem to socialize at a bar without getting preachy 10. You’re feeling defensive after reading this list I had an unfortunate experience once with #2. It wasn't that the person was critiquing my glass selection so much as...the snob wouldn't pour a beer into my plastic cup. It was a BA Angel's Share and BA Speedway he brought with him to an event (non-beer related) and when he saw us drinking out of plastic cups, he about shit his pants and refused to consume that beer out of the cup, and simply left taking the beer with him.

I have a pretty big problem with drinking really amazing beer out of plastic cups. I'm not referring to craft beer when you're shooting the shit outside at a bbq or at a sporting event. But I feel like certain quality beer deserves to be served in glassware even if it's not the proper glass.. That's something that still annoys me about Oregon. Any beer fest you go to, you're given the shittiest plastic drinking glasses and it pisses me off. We're all adults. If we fuck up and break the glass, party is over.

Yeah, cool - I remember that one... nice comparison.

Duuuuude, you know that proper glassware is always available at good BBQs (like the Hootenanny). [:D] Well, we are usually drinking World-Class beers too though. And Phish, you haven't been to one of my tailgates yet. (Nearly) all craft beer. And "Hand out" beers for the non-craft guys.

We're all different. Given the situation, I couldn't give a rats ass if it's coming out of a Big Gulp cup or a proper glass. Just too snobby for me. To have someone say "I'm not going to pour a beer for you that I brought and purposly want to share it with you and a few others because you have plastic cups" is just silly to me. I don't see much of that guy anymore. Now I can see having glassware at an event like a beer tasting, pub, beerfest, etc. But I wouldn't refuse to drink a beer if it was served in a shaker intstead of a flute, anymore than I'd refuse to eat a t-bone steak off a paper-plate instead of a porcelain plate. Snob city...no thanks.

I've even been known to drink straight from a can! [:0][:0][:0][:0][:0]

Yeah. That's a bit of a dick move. I think we need to get rid of plastic all together. But that's a whole different topic. Non-Beer Discussion...[;)]

Do your knuckles drag when you walk sir? [:o)] SNPA, Dale's Pale, most of Anderson Valley...don't even bother with a glass anymore.

Yeah, I'm a regular Neanderthal... Blues & Foam can vouch. Good People & Straight to Ale (good AL beer) in cans only.
