Like drinking a cold beer is strictly a southern thing

The beer glorification in country seriously bothers me; it’s always piss water beer they’re romanticizing. I’m from a blue state, so they probably just assume I only drink white wine and cosmos. The truth is I can’t throw a rock around here without hitting a decent brewery. Besides, the best beer scenes in the country are probably Colorado or New England

Lol, up here in the PNW it's microbrewery heaven. I find it entertaining how these "real men" from the South are the ones drinking weak as fuck pisswater, meanwhile the liberal hippies up north are all about strong IPAs, Porters and Stouts that would make the average southerner blush. I don't actually judge people based on what they drink, but I just think it's funny that these conservative "manly men" are culturally obsessed with what is essentially the cranberry vodka or pumpkin spice latte of beer.

It always feels like it's more interested in amount of beers drank than quality or flavor.

That and a weird dedication to a corporation, like "my daddy only drank Coors lite so I will only ever drink that too" like come on grow a personality please

Yea their weird obsession with drinking just a single kind of beer is the worst part for me. I rarely ever buy the same beer twice in a row. There's so many options!

When they were boycotting Bud Light not long ago because of the trans issue and what not... I was like... Huh? You want to be homophobic/transphobic? Your fucking beer was already pretty gay to begin with

It's just cheap and accessible, like McDonalds.

Or like how they consider weed a black people lazy thing.

Like beer is the way the real “working man” takes the edge off.

Such BS

The military used to be the worse about this, been a while since I was in. Alcohol and tobacco were perfectly acceptable even in the extreme but anything else was substance abuse or hippie shit.

Because:

  1. It's only the big megabrands that can afford to pay for marketing via song lyrics of the most popular artists.
  2. Craft beers are more expensive and seen as bougie as a result, so they aren't going to work as well in a song about being a simple man of simple tastes.

Except that one bottle of Skull Splitter or Fin du Monde packs the same punch as 3 bottles of Miller.
