Head to any upscale establishment (particularly one offering 50 taps) and you're going to pay upscale prices.<BR/><BR/>I frequently cringe at seeing Bud listed on fine dining menus at $4 and up. That's why I spend that money on good beer, instead.<BR/><BR/>My own response to Seate's editorial is at my <A HREF="http://barstories.blogspot.com/2007/01/beer-prejudiceor-some-other-kind.html" REL="nofollow">Bar Stories</A> blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10691910.post-1169571586800245332007-01-23T11:59:00.000-05:002007-01-23T11:59:00.000-05:00my·op·ic –adjective1.

Even the macro-brewers in all of their advertising wisdom never showed a pale lager getting poured into a foam cup. I think a "bottle-baby" is a step up from this.<BR/><BR/>If he was hoping to illicit a lot of responses from "beer snobs" then I am sure he received more than he wanted to.<BR/><BR/>The best response that I saw to this article was on Ratebeer.com where someone had changed their avatar to a picture of the columnist with the word "douche" super-imposed over his head.
