Not in this country, no. That's why it's being pushed to have a proper definition of it in the UK so that the big breweries can't continue to call their hipster-labelled 'craft beer' craft beer.

It can in the US too. Unless you're seriously telling me it has to pass a 'how does it taste' commitee before it can have a 'craft' label stamped on it.

Craft only refers to how it's made, not if it's any good.

Taste is subjective though. You don't like beer at all!

Quote:
An American craft brewer is:

Small
Annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less (approximately 3 percent of U.S. annual sales). Beer production is attributed to the rules of alternating proprietorships.

Independent
Less than 25 percent of the craft brewery is owned or controlled (or equivalent economic interest) by a beverage alcohol industry member that is not itself a craft brewer.

Traditional
A brewer that has a majority of its total beverage alcohol volume in beers whose flavor derives from traditional or innovative brewing ingredients and their fermentation. Flavored malt beverages (FMBs) are not considered beers.


By definition any beer that is made this way will taste 'better' than Coors Light or Greene King IPA. CAMRA say as long as it's cask conditioned it can be defined as real ale. This means Greene King (sorry to pick on them, but they are the worst) can mass produce their flagship IPA on a quick turnaround, with scant regard to quality, as long as it's made in a cask.

The main problem I have with many beers at present is they are over hopped to fuck. This is a pain of a trend. Also, cask beer is better than kegged beer. And lager has been perfected so much people cannot tell the difference between them.

I love a properly aged lager like Brooklyn, but the pasteurised stuff they serve en masse in this country is pap.

Cask is better for dark beers like milds, porters and stouts - keg is better for lighter beers like IPA, APA etc, IMO. Lots of hops is good - more flavour. So many amazing citrus and tropical flavours.

You shouldn't actually have to change anything per se to connect here, but if the router's gone back to it's original settings then it'll have reverted to the default network name and password. As zaphod79 has said you should have that info either separately or, very often these days, stuck to the bottom of the router itself. The password you need should be called WPA Key or something similar.

If you're not seeing that default network name available to connect to then it would imply the router has lost even the default ISP settings. If that's the case just phone them up and tell them that because it's not worth buggering about with it when their own settings have been lost from it.


Phoned them, all the settings had indeed been lost so you're right, there's no way any amount of faffing at my end would have made a difference. The woman talked me through it and now it's all fixed! I was like, "Told you I'd fix it..." to the kids, and now they think I'm super fucking awesome.

This is patently bullshit, you could make budweiseresque beer and meet these criteria.

Isn't this similar to what you were saying about not being 'precious' about food, though, and to forget doing it 'right'? Food snobbery and objective taste differences through being educated as to what is 'proper' in a beverage shouldn't get in the way of just enjoying what you enjoy. There's one way to encourage people to try new things, but telling each other that the drinks they enjoy or the way they enjoy them is 'wrong' and that your way is better is the same as making someone feel ashamed of their favourite foods because of food and drink snobbery.

That's not just at you, Craster (only because I remember talking to you about macaroni cheese at the cottage), but the 'right' and 'wrong' way to select and take your drinks shouldn't matter as long as you enjoy them.

Still stand by that, as a simplistic generalisation. It's obviously a bit more complicated than that.

Author:  Bobbyaro [ Sat Oct 25, 2014 16:02 ]
Post subject:  Re: B&B 43

I guess my gripe is that it is a massive over simplification; however, I agree completely that the keg process allows a lot more flavour to be included. I personally love late hopped beers (some really nice New Zealand ones if you see them), but I am not a big fan of beers which are too gassy. The "mouth feel" (yeah, I went there) isn't right for me, the advantage of a lot of these is they can be degassed, but sadly some of them lose their flavour as they aren't robust enough.

Does anyone else have problems posting with Chrome on Android? Generally navigating the forum is fine but Chrome seems to sometimes get totally confused when typing a post up. It'll freak out and move the cursor so you're suddenly adding characters in the middle of a previous sentence or just flat out stop showing new characters being added to the text box even though the keyboard is still giving the relevant autocorrect suggestions and whatnot. I get it on my phone using Swype and on my tablet using the vanilla Google keyboard so Chrome seems to be the only common factor. My last post before this one went so to shit that I had to swap over to Firefox just to finish it.

To be fair I haven't used an alternative browser often enough to properly the blame at Chrome's door so it could be something to do with Android in general; I've no idea.

Anyways, so I meet my friend at 4pm at Fanny's and we have a beer and then we wanted some food so we went up the road the the Tram Shed but they weren't serving food at half four on a Saturday WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. So we went to the chipshop and then on to the Ring o Bells where Robert Baratheon has been seen. We had a couple in there and then went back to Fanny's and I had a few more pints of Saltaire Brewery's Cascade Pale Ale (all the while decrying the over hopping and over use of cascade hops nowadays). Then, a man with a double bass, a man with a banjo and a man with a guitar and harmonica started playing songs and singing and it was most awesome. So wes tayed and had more beer. Then I had a kebab. And then we went home or something and I played PS4. it was super.
