Bier!magazine biersnobkritiek

In de editie van maart stond er weer een kritiek in op de biersnobs. Zouden de beergeeks te veel zeuren over bier en te weinig genieten? De hoofdredacteur signaleert een tegenbeweging. Zou daarbij de reclame van Budweiser bedoeld worden?

Daar zie je ook drie van de beergeeks bier proeven en bespreken. terwijl de Budweiserdrinkers ongecompliceerd lachen en genieten in een bar.

Worden beergeeks een soort wijnconnaisseurs? Die alles van de drank weten, maar er niet meer van kunnen genieten?

Tja, het glas moet goed zijn, de drinktemperatuur moet goed zijn en als het van de tap komt, met de juiste hoek en taphoogte, schuimkraag en owee als de tapkraan wordt geraakt.....

Tja, als je je daar allemaal druk over gaat maken....

Dus eerst is er een hoop trammelant gemaakt over hoeveel bieren en stijlen er zijn in Nederland en België en de rest van de wereld, vervolgens was het over de glazen en de verkooppunten. De accijns, de aanspreektitel 'biertje', de zoete smaak, de te lage of te hoge hopgift, de wisselende kwaliteit en ga zo maar door... er is altijd wel wat te klagen.

Jammer, want het kan zo mooi zijn.


“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
