Beer snobs are created in several ways. Most are initially introduced to dark ales by other beer snobs who feel the need to enlist recruits. They try a Guinness, read about the brewing process on a pub menu and suddenly think theyre beer gurus. The worst snobs though are the ones who have lived their entire lives in America, then spend a month in Europe. They come back thinking theyve had an epiphany and not just about beer, but about life in general. If you should dare to drink with them after that, be prepared for an ejaculation of beer trivia that theyve learned overseas. "You know, in Europe they serve beer warm, so it has to be made well. American beers have to be served cold because they dont put in the time to brew it right." These pricks will even give the waitress at Wallys Topless a hard time because all they have on tap is Budweiser. They curse and sputter and finally settle for a bottle of Heineken. Occasionally, guys take their snobbery to the point of actually brewing their own beer, thinking theyve somehow gleaned wisdom from the pints theyve raised.
