Does specialty beer ruin your taste for commercial beer or is it just an ignorant bias on my part?

[Dr. Brule]

bud/millers/coors etc wouldn't exist if there wasn't a market for bland, dry beers. 50 years ago there were heaps of small breweries, then companies like InBev and SABmiller came around and started mass-producing beers and keeping the quality and flavour more consistent than a small brewery could.

you mention things like "actual beer" being ruined by the craft beer market--this sh!t gives me a headache. big beer ruined micro breweries and is only now starting to lose some of its market share to these smalls producers...and about fuck!ng time too.

"high-quality Budweiser?" seriously dude, quality and taste aren't the same, albeit related. it is high quality like all mass produced beers, but that doesn't make it taste citrus-y or smooth.

stay in college dude, you need the education, in quite a few ways.
