Forget about Isis and Ebola beer nerds are the scourge of the 21st century.
I am now smelling my beer
For other readers, this is a reference to an excellent Clickhole piece:
Are You A Beer Snob?
When it comes to beer, some people are witless criminals and some people are cultured experts. Are you a life-ruining swill-guzzler who will drink it…
Before I take a sip of beer, I smell the beer, and while I smell the beer, I turn to the person next to me and say, “I am smelling the beer.”

My wife turns to me when we have a beer, and says I am now smelling the beer

Yea fuck off mate, i'll let the experts do their thing.
Nothing like the Codys Appreciation Society
what's a Cody? I thought that was a pre-mix Bourbon?
Is he trying to insinuate that you are a beer philistine? Don't worry, I still drink Corona and Speights along with my Garage project stuff, which is as far as I'll venture into craft beer land
I had my first Garage project beer the other day and it was bloody awesome, might be something to this craft beer industry.

I like Hapi Daze(?), the one with the red can and car on front is quite good too. Still got time for a dirty mainstream bevvie too though

I must admit to being far less of a beer piston wristed gibbon of late. Even I got sick of the constant, well, wankness of it all. Plus craft beers bloat the fuck out of ya. So definitely a bit of a treat every now and again compared to the past.
Some of Garage Projects beers are nothing short of ridiculous.

Strange thing is that I drink cask ales when at the pub and canned/bottled at home. Never touch bottled ales or draught IPAs etc.
What is good now is that there are “mass produced” beers in the styles made popular by boutique brewers that are actually quite good in both taste and price. They will always have a premium over vaguely malted fizz simply due to ingredient cost but the ridiculous price levels of old are decreasing along with the need for every flannel wearing, bearded, tattooed loser to become a brewing artist. -

Bit too bogan to join the London hipster crowd. They may not let you into their ironically converted corner shop with a carefully selected fridge of obscure brews made out of waste and hedgerow clippings. You need to cultivate this look if you want in (and want to look like every second plonker in E1)

BrewDog's "Nanny State" - 0.5%, and pretty tasty. Had to resort to it while watching an ABs game in mid-morning, with a full day's riding ahead...
Albeit - was Bledisloe #1 from memory, and true to my superstition, we didn't start scoring proper tries until I had 1 full-strength beer.
