That was a good post Errkal. I'm massively intolerant of fussy eaters, it annoys me to see people so disgusted by fairly ordinary food and being completely unwilling to try to be things. Like you, I like to be adventurous but not to dive into the world of elitism and pretentious wankery but to get new flavours and experiences. However I would argue that it's easier with food to call something objectively better but I enjoy a kebab and chips just as much as fine dining. With beer you're taking about something relatively simplistic and fairly similar in price so the suggestion that one is 'vastly superior' and "I couldn't possibly drink that swill" is a bit ridiculous. When you're talking about flavours I'm with you every time. We have lots of good pubs here with a big selection and I'll always have the similar conversation of "I'm not into overly hoppy beer or really heavy stuff but I'd like to try something new, what would you recommend?". I tried a peanut butter beer in America last year and loved it so I'm always up for trying something different.
