Did you ever insult someone because of the beer they ordered?!

Question: Did you ever insult someone because of the beer they ordered?

I am in a local beer bar every night (that's a bar that sells true beer only- not that fizzy yellow alcoholic water most of you call beer) and the bartenders and regulars always laugh when one of you come in and ask for a Coors Light. Or a Budweiser. Or a Corona. You get the idea. When the bartender tells them "we don't serve that kind of beer here" they usually get frustrated and leave (while we mock them the whole time on their way out). I've been in quite a few scuffles in situations where I am sitting there drinking a great craft beer, someone sits next to me at the bar and orders a Blue Moon. I'll start laughing and make fun of the guy to the bartender. Any of you other beer snobs out there do this? It's quite enjoyable!

Answers:

No.......but once they try to tell me how "tasty" their crap they call beer is I may laugh at them.

*To be honest, the first beer I had was Schmidt's. Then moved on to Miller. It was all I knew, and it was "beer". Even LOOKING at all of the craft beers for the first time was intimidating. My boyfriend and I both decided to start exploring REAL beer and went to a few tastings and beerfests. This way, you can find out what kind of brew you DO like without having to buy a 6 pack and possibly wasting it :-/ I suggest EVERYONE go to a tasting or beefest if you're looking to expand your horizons in the brew bidness.

I have but I do wait until the other person is out of sight. It's not nice to mock them when they're right in front of you. You wouldn't like if someone blatantly made fun of you in front of your face because your are inexperienced. Everyone has to start somewhere.

I bag groceries at a grocery store & always laugh to myself when people buy "Blue Ribbon" because stereotypically they're broke redneck type people.

Get a life! You know who I enjoy making fun of? Lametards who somehow think they have one up on others as they spend their lonely lives in a bar every night.

I enjoy good craft beers as well but I can't say that I enjoy making fun of other's who don't have as broad of taste. I make fun of BARs that claim to have a large/great beer selection that only carry the aforementioned brews.

Making fun of them/getting into 'scuffles' isn't really going to encourage other's to get into the craft beer scene which is what I'd RATHER do.

The only ppl that I would make fun of for the beer they drink would be anyone that I see drinking a stella artois ------ if they get it in a pint glass it's alittle harder for me unless I hear them ordering....but if they have it in that stella glass.....OMG it's infuriating. =)
