Why Are YOU a Beer Bloggin’ Bastard? What’s Your Purpose? Why Did YOU Decide To “Be One of Us Now”?

by Ilya Feynberg on August 27, 2010

What beer bloggers actually look like in real life...

Blogs. Beer. Opinions. Discussion.

Am I the only one that thinks that those four things come together in a magical way to create some sort of beer lovers paradise?

Um…no. I’m not. I know this because I’m either a genius, or because there are THOUSANDS of beer fanatics that take to blogging…and that do a far better job at it than I do. So I’m not the only one to think “Hey! All of this just meshes perfectly!”

It’s almost certain that if you’re here on Damn That’s Good Beer! and reading this post, you love beer. And I would also venture as far as to say that an overwhelming amount of  those reading this post and these very words right now, are beer bloggers.

You know. People who blog. Blog about beer. Something to do with beer. I like to refer to us all as Beer Bloggin’ Bastards. But that’s just me and my twisted beer obsessed mind.

If You’re Not Willing To Try Craft Beer In a Can…You’re Probably a Beer Douche…

Some Oskar Blue's Best Brews...

Ok Beerlings…this has been on my mind since a few nights back when I became a witness to beer douchery (that’s Josh’s term from Lost In The Beer Aisle by the way. I can’t take credit for it) at my local Whole Foods Market.

I’m going to try and make this quick….

I think we’ve all been hearing about beer snobs and beer douchery more and more recently. I see it on fellow beer blogs often, and see it in person plenty. What’s shameful is that these aren’t just random thoughts that bloggers are writing about. These are ACTUAL experiences that people witness or hear about first hand. You expect these type of things from wino’s, and even in their culture it’s starting to tone itself down a bit.
