    I love the touch of putting a "BEER DRINKER" sticker on your Beerbrand™ beer-fridge and no further customization

    I think I know what this person's favorite activity is

      self-identifying as a beer guy and getting a bud light minifridge, there are people in this world that I will never understand

        bud light beer guy is infinitely more understandable and relatale than the "beer guy" who exclusively drinks IPA microbrews from $20 6-packs

          I fucking hate IPAs I hate IPAs

          I was so happy when I heard there has been a reaction against the wave of disgusting over hopped craft beers and people are just drinking white claw or whatever now. I've had like 2 IPAs that were sorta ok with food, most are complete ass

          Love a weissbier, love a porter, don't really like the cheap beers, but bud light is better than half of craft beers because half of them taste like a Nintendo Switch cartridge.

            couldnt agree with you more. IPAs taste like dirty gym socks

            porters are great, and i love dark beers in general. recently had this Jamaican beer called Dragon Stout and it was amazing

            I appreciate IPAs. when I am socially drinking but don't want to get drunk I can nurse a mildly nasty IPA for an hour

            I had a RIPA once, a combination of Russian imperial stout and IPA. It was very good and easy to drink a lot of. I got very drunk.

          every region has a local not-quite-microbrewery you can get weirdly into though

          be a Shiner Bock guy or a Yuengling guy or whatever

            Yuengling kicked their union out a few years back because the owners threatened to relocate the plant.

              Why not just make concession in bargaining instead of decertifying?

                I think it was basically a "decertify or we move" situation, which is clearly illegal but they did it anyway.

      As a burger, my stance is that if a brand wants me to advertise for them, they better give me their shit for free.

      I kind of assume that one must have started out as a front counter display in a convenience store or something, then been sold or salvaged when the store shut down. The glass door and general shape makes it look like a store display, to say nothing of the advertising. Like that glass door compromises the insulation, and as a result more of the overall volume gets devoted to cramming in a bigger cooling setup to compensate, all so anyone walking past can see inside.

      Lots of Americans like ads, brands, etc. Phrases like "build one's brand" seem perfectly normal. I had a look at Jimmy Buffet's Wikipedia page the other day. He markets himself as "laid back". In reality he's a businessman who makes music. He has been working hard for many decades to build his brand to incredible levels of financial success. He's got a net worth of ~$1 billion. He didn't get that insane amount of money by lounging in a hammock.

      Buffett is one of the world's richest musicians, with a net worth as of 2023 of $1 billion.

      [...]

      "Business ventures" section

      I think a lot of his fans are devoted to him for reasons they would never admit to. In American culture - there is a clear worship of fame and money.

    the difference is drinkability

    pretty boring way of saying "other light beers are PISS"
