You're not getting it. Some people actually prefer "regular" or light
beer, and think dark beer tastes like crap. Beer snobs never seem to
accept that different people have different (not bad) tastes.

Actually, I feel the same way about people who claim to like "really" dark
beers, like Guinness or Oatmeal Stout. I think most dark beers taste like
sewage. I prefer a nice, crisp amber beer, with a good malty/yeasty
after-taste.

I also think folks who claim to like really dark red wines are nuts. I was
at a wine-tasting event last night (with Montblack, by the way -- he's
staying at the inn for a couple of days...), and people all around us were
raving about stuff that tasted like power steering fluid. I just don't get
it...

Let's leave it at this: On a really, really hot day (like after walking 10
miles at OSH) an ice-cold Bud tastes great!

But then, of course, so does ice water.
