It also applies to other refined or aquired tastes like Gourmet prepared foods, fine wine or even something like a complex cheese.
Real men drink beer, they don't harp over them like they may on a scotch or bourbon or cognac...but then again they aren't dropping $20+ on a single serving either. This proves you're just an idiot troll rather than simply ignorant, I don't even know ANY men that drink Bud Light unless thats all thats left in the cooler. The only Men I know that buy Bud Light, are buying it for a chick and most women I know appear to have a better beer palate than you do....sorry, but it has to be said..LOL
Most small pubs will not have a grand selection. If you aren't targeting them because they serve your beer you are going to be either lucky or disappointed. I guess you just don't get it. I don't have "a beer"...I like GOOD beer, and there is a lot of good beers to have....around here, GOOD BEER is easy to find. I sure wouldn't go to some place TO DRINK BEER if they made me feel like some kind of dumbass because I'm NOT ordering Bud Light, and someone that proposes that something like Bud Light is GOOD BEER is certainly someone I couldn't take seriously when it comes to "taste"
It's pointless.
Alky is a perfect example of "The TV ads with the boobies and bright lights and big awesome explosions tells me it's the truth so it MUST be the truth!"
No one with at least an average complement of properly-firing synapses actually believes that "Real Men" only drink light domestics.
The Real Men who founded this country, and those generations before them created and drank beer that was more akin to Bread than water (light domestics).
The early settlers and explorers substituted beer into their diets as it was:
-Full of vitamins and nutrients
-safer than water
-awesome.
Of course, this beer was NOTHING like the piss water that alky bongs into his gullet on a daily basis.
and all of these men were far closer to the classic definition of "Real Man" than about 95% of men born in the previous century, when you considered the type of lives they lead and things they dealt with on a daily basis.
If Alky had his way, real men would be sitting on couches all day watching football, drinking Coors, and loving their cats.
Not chopping wood, exploring jungles, surviving months-long cross-ocean voyages on leaky vessels surviving on moldy scraps and hoppy beer. etc....
