I agree with you on the need to educate people and I try to do that as much as possible with friends and co-workers. The flipside of people seeing beer as unsophisticated is the wine-snob-like pretentiousness I've been seeing at some beer bars here in Seattle. Have you encountered that at all in your neck of the woods? Hey Justin…good to see you have a blog now to go along with the podcast.

It's a shame that some folks don't know how to find the middle ground. We don't have as much of it here, since our beer scene is really lacking. There are definitely some around, but I try to steer clear of them. Some people take such pride in knowing the smallest details, the most obscure facts, and having the most tuned tongue that they can completely suck the fun out of the beer tasting and educating process. Like I said....we've got a tough job :). Yeah, the beer snobbery thing can get way out of hand. It’s a shame that some folks don’t know how to find the middle ground.
