well argued


and just for shits n giggles I did go look it up, and amazingly enough it means exactly what I thought

quote:

high horse   –noun a haughty attitude or temper; a contemptuous manner. A mood or attitude of stubborn arrogance or contempt To be on one's “high horse” is to be disdainful or conceited

haughty attitude, contemptuous manner, arrogance. Exactly how you're acting.

Knowledge != taste buds.

What beer you enjoy is exactly the same as what music you enjoy. Your favorite beers are neither better nor worse than their favorite beers. It's this whole, "my taste is the best and all others are wrong" attitude that has people claiming your sitting on your high horse.

Except I am not arguing against people's taste, but instead against people who don't know anything about beer who believe that German beer is somehow 'pure' because they don't understand what the Reinheitsgebot is.

People have different taste in music, but there are absolute facts in relation to music, just as with beer. Someone might say a note is 'B' when it is really 'D', and they would be wrong, because not everything is a matter of taste.

Exactly how am I behaving in an arrogant way? The arrogant people are those who assume they are right without actually knowing, which certainly does not describe me in this thread.

Alright, but how is telling somebody that they have "nothing else to add to this discussion" and that they should "stop posting here" not an example of being arrogant?

So? You're the one going around telling Canadians that they're wrong and "arrogant" for preferring Canadian beer above all.

Originally posted by ChrisWChandler quote: Originally posted by ChemEnhanced Canada has some of the best microbreweries around. I've drank beer in over 25 countries and nothing compares to even the so so microbreweries canada has. Not even close to the US, I am afraid. I think part of the problem is Canadians already have quite an arrogant attitude to their nation's beer and unwilling to experiment or embrace ideas from other cultures. It's not unlike the situation in Germany, actually. I am sorry, but with this and your earlier comment it is quite clear that you have nothing to add to this discussion so perhaps you could stop posting here. Thank you.

But whatever. If you want to keep on keeping on, then have at it.

Arrogant for assuming that Canadian beer is somehow better than American beer without having drunk enough of either to make that judgement. Arrogant for disregarding the opinions (albeit subjective) of experts.

If Roger Ebert says a movie is brilliant and you hate it, does that make you arrogant? Who the fuck are you to know how much American beer he has or hasn't consumed?

He said himself that he had never drunk a good American beer.

Since there are beers of similar styles being made in both Canada and America by microbreweries it simply would not be possible for him to like the ones made in Canada and not the ones made in America, assuming he had had the ones made in America.

America has a greater number of artisan breweries producing the very finest beers, which is why it's overall a better beer nation than Canada, although Canada also has a number of great breweries.

So? That just means that every American beer he has consumed has been less than enjoyable. That's personal taste, not arrogance.

Tell that to his taste buds.

"Finest beers" is a personal taste, once again. I don't know how you could possibly be this fucking retarded.
