>beer snobs
Former home brewer here. Did it a bunch in the late 90s, during the first (?) craft brew craze. Loved making and talking about beer. A hell of a lot of fun, especially with other brewers. All was great, until the retards started taking over. Stupid fucks who don't know a Fuggle from a Muggle would use terms they read on a Red Hook six pack holder to describe whatever beer they thought they were drinking. I would argue left and right that dry-hopping matters, that doing your own tunning makes better beer than using extract, but no, those twats read a word that they pretended to understand. It was like arguing with a fucking toddler.

Fuck that, fuck them. I now drink the best mass-produced local swill out there, Grain Belt Premium (Disagree? That's fine. I'm not a cunt. Like what you like. I'll like what I like.)

Beer, at least small beer, was consumed by most echelons of society for the simple fact that having liquid with a bit of alcohol meant you wouldn't shit yourself to death from some bacteria here or there. True, the top clas muckity mucks could drink wine, but for your everyday refreshment that was free of fucking cholera we could always rely on beer.

Your first claim is also not true, and the advent of agriculture did not improve life expectancy in the slightest. In fact, it turned people into fat manlets and led to the rise of new and exciting diseases such as artherosclerosis and cancer, as well as a myriad of malnutrition and malabsorption symptoms.

>> No.10571905

I didn't say either was correct. I said different. 20 years ago, dry hopping was done quickly, much more for aroma than bitterness. Many-to-most ipa brewers these days let the willamettes soak a lot longer, which imparts aroma and a two-flavor bitterness. I don't particularly care for this. Some folks do.

And this dumb debate is why I gave up making beer. Grain Belt, please.

Cancer is literally the inevitable result of all life if something else doesn't kill you first. The more other causes we remove or make less common the more we will die from cancer, but notably those deaths are later on in life

Beer was the healthier drink for much of history because in the brewing process you have to boil it. They didn't know why but this kills all of the bacteria, plus hops naturally retard the growth of new bacteria, so beer kept longer in sanitized conditions post-boil

You need the high temperatures of the boil to bring out many of the bittering characteristics of hops.

There's a lot of cool innovations happening as brewers reevaluate the alpha acid profiles of hops that have traditionally been used as bittering hops. Personally, I think it's great that west coast style IPA's are dying off. Dry hopping offers a much broader spectrum of possible flavor than simply jacking up the IBU with bittering hops and a dash of aromatic hops at the end.

And to anyone fearmongering about hops and their phyto-estrogen content, please develope a former grasp of chemistry and biology before showing everyone how retarded you are.

There is no historical record back then of course, but the anthropological evidence suggests humans settled into agricultural society to grow grain for fermenting, and settling into an agricultural society is what directly lead to the formation of civilization. In pre-agricultural hunter/gatherer/scavenger populations they had decent access to food, but almost way to make alcohol as there was no surplus crops providing fermentable sugar.

Of course we cannot say definitely that one specific thing was the only reason society began, but the desire for proto-beer is the most probable and important factor
