Are these craft beer people making these comments because they think snobby beer people are the reason behind the low market share for craft? Or are they regular beer drinkers who truly feel insulted by the craft beer L33T?<br /><br />I just don't see that many folks who I equate to beer snobs. Most of them that appear snobbish I think are just geeky (Wouldn't HBG know something about that? : ) It has a lot to do with perspective. Maybe craft beer people play into that role a little, because it can be kind of fun...maybe that's the problem. Non-craft beer people don't want to feel insulted or have their favorite light beer bashed to death. I don't know...people need to grow some balls and get out of their comfort zone from time to time. If they don't like it, there will always be fizzy yellow liquid to consume. j . j .https://www.blogger.com/profile/09001986729410659816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-5020767365512805242013-01-25T14:07:45.842-05:002013-01-25T14:07:45.842-05:00At least for women, Girls Pint Out is a GREAT way ...At least for women, Girls Pint Out is a GREAT way to learn about new beers. In just a few totally affordable events (I think I paid five bucks each time), I learned a ton about craft beer I didn't know before. And I wouldn't consider myself a beer newbie, just a lover of craft beer especially in Indiana. GIven, this is for women but they do have men nights where women can bring their beaus. All the "snark" I'm reading about here is a nonissue with Girls Pint Out. I am a fan. I heard about it through a friend and found out many of my friends were actually part of it. <br /><br />Check out their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/IndianaGPOBrittani Henselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17498014817938344412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-68721497061343316322013-01-25T14:07:43.279-05:002013-01-25T14:07:43.279-05:00For me, I've always tried to show an excitemen...For me, I've always tried to show an excitement and passion when it comes to beer. I think it is kind of contagious when you are really excited about something. I also like to play up events like Winterfest, and Brew Bracket. Things that are fun will draw more people in, and then you can educate them sometimes without them knowing it. When I volunteered for the B.I.G. booth for the state fair, they had a little game that helped shared information. It was hit and miss on who really was interested, but more often than not they wanted to know where they could find craft beer. On a personally level, I try to convert my friends by having them over at my place for beer tastings, going out to bars / restaurant and having them try my beer or even asking what they like and helping suggest things.
