To me there is something very scary about beer that cost less than 4
bucks (unless, of course, you like malt liqueur). i grew up in the land
of piss beer and when I came up to the northwest i just couldn't see the
point in drinking that kind of beer anymore. i agree with matt who said
that a beer snob is someone who simply like beer that tastes good. i
drink lots of black bier and the selection here is prime (Guinness is
still my favorite though). Also, all of the "beer snobs" I know only
talk about beer to other "beer snobs", unless of course you strike up a
conversation with one on that line. I do agree though that the worlds
best beer comes from across the atlantic (mainly Ireland).
As far as Portland is concerned, if you think that this city is full
of arrogant people then you really haven't been to other cities. In my
humble opinion this is one of the most friendly, laid back, cities to
exist. It just might be the most. The east coast for sure has nothing
but cities that ignore you unless you know where to go, and any of most
of the others people are just to busy to notice or care about you.
I do like New Orleans though (atleast, only for a couple of weeks at the
most).

A beer snob not only insists on drinking expensive beer, but also a beer
snob insists on making their preferences therein heard, and heard
loudly.
Nothing worse than an earful when it's already enough trouble just
trying
to stomach your six pack of milwaukee's best ice pounders.
Another thing that bugs me is people who insist that they don't like
being
drunk. Drink soda pop for christs sake.
