    Not everyone wants to get into the craft beer scene out spend the extra money on craft beer... I get that.

    But Corona tastes like the urine of satan after he's been eating asparagus.

    Corona is the worst beer.

    Actually, Heineken is the worst beer. Corona is second worst.

    Neither of those are even close to the worst:

    Pacifico and Sol are both decent options

  • EncEnc A Fool with Compassion Pronouns: He, Him, HisRegistered User regular
    Corona is the beer you drink while on the beach after you already drank the good beer and all that is left are the six pack that one guy who showed up late brought and then never touched in favor of your more flavorful brews. And by then you don't mind, because you are likely sunburned, parched, and more than a little tipsy.

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    Yeah, the only time I can stomach Corona is when I'm already drunk and there are no other options.

    Then I will begrudgingly drink it. But I'll hate myself while I do it.

    There's the Beechwood Ages Peach Pumpkin Ale that was made in response to Budweiser's Superbowl commercial.

    If you look at the label, you'll notice the Griffins are riding the Clydesdales

    I love my best friend to death, but when I tell him I'm at the super market and if I should pick him up anything, with a world of beer and craft beer at his finger tips, he almost always tells me to get him a six pack of corona.

    ...

    On second thought this may just be a devious plan on his part to ensure that no one takes his beers from the fridge.

    Nah, it's just the blandest, and most boring beer imaginable. It's not bad tasting. Bad tasting is acceptable as it means they were trying and missed.

    Corona does the highest of sins. It's not bad, it is dull.

    Beer snob sneers never made sense to me. For one or two dollars more per six pack than the mass-market brews you can go from crap to pretty damn great. Wine classism is definitely a thing given that you often need to spend like 10-30 bucks to get to top-shelf quality, but beer is crazy cheep to get really good beer.

    We're talking like 10-45 cents a bottle more for most microbrews, with the very best being only a dollar or so more per bottle.

    It's the easiest thing in the world to upgrade on.

    What you seem to be not grasping is just because you (and I) consider it an upgrade doesn't mean everyone considers it an upgrade.

    My friend honestly feels that Corona is one of the tastier, refreshing beers out there. He enjoys other beers, but they aren't upgrades from Coronas for him.

    Yeah, I can understand having a preference for a cheaper item, but 9 times out of 10 the beer snob comments are from folk who haven't tried different beers, especially beers in the same type category as the kind they like, and just deride higher quality production as snobbish. Especially when it comes to talking about the mass-market beers that the companies like Anheiseur Busch themselves admit are created on the cheap and care very little about the flavor of the finished product over producing massive quantities of it using as little ingredients as possible.

    It's more like saying people who eat beef are snobs because you have a preference for spam. Categorically, everything about the production and design of spam is inferior on a qualitative sense, and while some folk may absolutely love spam (and that's ok) being angry at people who point out spam is random meatfood product is wonky at best. So too with beers.

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    Like I make drinks that I think are absolutely vile and disgusting for people all the live long day.

    I don't labor under the assumption that they somehow think it is vile too and force themselves to enjoy it, or if magically if they drank what I like that they would think it's delicious.

    What I think this vile, they think is tasty. It's rather simple.

    Yeah I can't imagine why you telling people "Oh sure, feel free to enjoy X, but you're wrong for enjoying it" would rub anyone the wrong way at all.

    I know someone that genuinely enjoys Malort and drinks it everyday.

    at that point my world view on alcohol was shattered and I stopped trying to figure out why people drink what they drink.

    Right and wrong have nothing to do with it. The mass-market beers are poorly made using as many cut corners as possible to produce something that is vaguely like conventional beer. They do this because they can get away with it, and because they have enough money to market enough to have their customers feel like they are getting quality product when they are not. That isn't right or wrong, it's business. That doesn't change the fact that it's inferior quality beer. The US is pretty singular in this cituation given the way prohibition totally wrecked our beer producing industry for nearly a century and only in the last 20 years or so (due to lifting of numerous restrictions on small breweries) are we seeing what traditional beer products should look like (on a global sense) reemerging.

    If I replaced 50% of the flour in my bread with sawdust, it would be inferior bread. It's not a matter morality, but one of definition.

    There is no objective measure of the quality of a food or drink when it comes to taste

    None

    it is literally, entirely, 100% subjective

    you can't say "this beer does not use the ingredients these other beers use, so it is worse"

    Based on what

    that the commonly accepted "good" beers use different ingredients

    who gives a shit

    if people like pbr the most then its the best beer for them

    your criteria make no sense

    Corona (and Corona Lite) are acceptable when you drown out their flavor with a lime slice. Landshark tastes exactly the same to me, which makes sense since that's exactly what they were aiming for.
