Beer snob sues MillerCoors for making Blue Moon

We did a bourbon tasting last weekend and by the time we got to the $280/bottle premium stuff, Mrs. Whitman was so lit that they could have poured her Old Crow. The guide snuck herself an extra dram, though.

 

Did it remove "no" from her vocabulary, or is that just Bud Light?

 

In the event Sabrina Rubin Erdely or her like read this site, several hours passed between the tasting and our retirement to our hotel room. But things went well.

 

I hate hipsters, btw.
Craft beer overkill is just more Food Networkification of America : Lifestyles

 

Hotel sex is a must.

 

Beer snob alert: Writer loses credibility while trying to describe Tecate as a Mexican beer. While brewed in Mexico, "Mexican" beers are historically Vienna lagers, but are now unfortunately basically American adjunct-sweetened lagers.

 

I'm a bit of a wine snob -- and agree that wine snobs are horrible. Especially in my neck of the woods where most restaurants are BYO.

However, it's pretty easy to tell the difference between a bottle of red which costs less than $12 and one that costs more than $20, much less $50-plus. White wines can be a little harder to differentiate, especially if they are served too cold (as they often are), but you can get a good bottle for $10 and a really good bottle for $18.

If we are going to be drinking more than a couple of bottles as part of a group, we always have the good stuff early.

 

This has been roundly disproven in blind testing.

 

I don't think there's anything wrong with "artfully crafted," but I'll read the link to see what the other complaints are. To me, "artfully crafted" is no different than "cold-filtered" or any number of other marketing terms.

And in my comment about referring to the plaintiff being a beer snob, I meant the thread title.

 

After skimming through the SD-UT link, I have a much bigger problem with MillerCoors not appearing on the label or the website. That's clearly deceptive. I think this might be a pretty decent case. I hate paying more for beers that clearly are not imports/crafts/etc.

 

I think Blue Moon tastes like crap. I just don't like sweet beers or wheat beers.

 

I think people have something a little wrong here, the idea that people decide they don't like something after finding out it's a macro. I think many would agree the macros do a good job on something like Blue Moon.

But people like to try the little guys just because it's interesting to see what independent brewers are trying.
