#23 Microbreweries
January 24, 2008 by clander
White people don’t like stuff that’s easy to acquire. Beer is no exception.
They generally try to avoid beers like Budweiser, Labatt’s, Molson, Coors, and Heineken because if it’s mass produced it is bad. No exceptions.
So when they need a beer, they turn to microbrews who seem to be located almost exclusively in New England, Ontario, Quebec and Colorado. Being able to walk into a bar and order a beer that no one has heard of makes white people feel good about their alcohol drinking palate.
A friend of mine once met a white guy who brought a notebook with him to every bar. He would then keep a record of all the beers he drank and his experience with them. He called it his ‘beer journal.’
Also of note: most white people want to open a microbrewery at some point. One that uses organic hops.

It’s funny because it’s true. And vice-versa. In my defense, though, micro-brews just TASTE better.
I think its fair to wager that the vast majority of consumers of Budweiser, Labatt’s, Molson, Coors, and Heineken are white, albeit working class whites. While I appreciate this blog’s satire, it seems to suffer from a masochistic conceit that applies only to liberal cosmopolitan whites; conveniently ignoring the majority of whites [more than half] who aren’t fortunate enough to afford a good hefeweizen.
a vast majority of this blog applies to the liberal cosmopolitan group. and i gotta agree with you- any beer advertised during professional sports (bud, coors, molsen) panders to the blue collar community.
also, they should have mentioned in this article ” they more obscure and mirco the brewerie, the more distance they wedge between themselves and the working class”
there is no such thing as a good hefeweizen
No good hefeweizens? Are you crazy? Paulaner, Schneider-Weisse, Erdinger, Ayinger, Franziskaner…I could go on and on. Don’t talk if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
what the fuck? i love budweiser and miller. and im a honkey
do you have ales in america or is it all lager? I’d love to ask for a pint of sussex best or a pint to mild only to find out you had know idea what i was talking about so i could explain talk about the brewing traditions of the uk and get some points on the board early…
Flynn - Most of our mass produced beers (i.e. Bud, Coors, Miller) are lager (crappy lager) and most of our microbrews are ales. Most common style is probably pale ale. Pretty easy to find a good stout, porter or ESB.
We have tonnes of ale , I don’t know the metric volume over liter but that doesn’t make a good pun. Heineken has a good pale ale.
Firstly, Heineken is hardly American.
Secondly, a very common misconception is that because a Lager is pale [like Heineken, Coors, Miller, Bud, Rolling Rock, Stella Artois, etc.] then that means that its a Pale Ale. Wrong.
There are hardly no mass produced Ales in the United States, unless you count Samuel Adams, Sierra Nevada, or the like.
However, microbreweries are quickly popping up everywhere and breweries that were part of the surge like Dogfish Head, Troegs, Victory, and Sly Fox are now taking home awards for their Ales and Lagers alike.
America, hands down, has the best beer ever.
