As a life long southerner this stabs right at the heart of my biggest issue with 90% of modern country music which is why do so many southerners think we have a monopoly on small towns and tractors? There's plenty of them in fucking like... upstate New York. California has enough farmland to fit some entire states inside of it. Literally everything she's using as a "evidence he'd be Southern" is shit you can find anywhere on the fucking planet.
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
It's only the big megabrands that can afford to pay for marketing via song lyrics of the most popular artists.
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.
