In college I couldn't understand why some people were such snobs about "good/bad beer." I thought, why can't people just enjoy a bud or coors light like me? At one point I started being a little more adventurous and tried out different beers from different breweries, areas and countries and eventually it became a habit to always try new beers when available. After enjoying a wide array of beers for many years I had a chance to go back and try some of the old corner mart staples that constituted much of my college memories and realized, "wow, the stuff I used to drink really tastes bland." Now I still don't consider myself a snob. I can still enjoy a cold, refreshing "generic" beer if that's my only choice. But I definitely have a much greater appreciation for how many amazing beers there are out there. You just have to go and find them.
