World class = best in the world.

I do.

Perhaps I should have said "world class to me", but I thought that was obvious.

I don't buy wine based on Robert Parker recommendations and I don't buy beer based on what reviewers at www.ratebeer.com or www.beeradvocate.com have to say, since my taste in beer and wine is different from all of the above.

I know when I say that I hate Imperial Russian Stout and Belgian Abbey Ales that many beer aficionados will tell me that I'm crazy .. but I really don't care, I drink what I like. Same with wines.

For example, in MY opinion:

World class beer: Weyerbacker Simcoe Ale - 11 bucks a 4 pak.
World class wine: Caymus special select - north of 100.

The PRICE doesn't make these world class, how much I like them does.

This post gets it

This post doesn't


My question has nothing to do with drinking what you like and liking what you drink, it has to do with why people are so heisitant to pay for great beer, but have no problem with paying far more money for wine.

If people truly enjoy drinking beers like Bud, they should by all means drink them. It just leaves more of the hard to find craft beers for the rest of us,
