I have to disagree. I do not like the label "beer snob" though, snobbery is not good. I think one can be enthusiastic about beer as very diverse beverage with a lot interesting flavors and aromas. Beer has the same capacity as wine to be complex and pleasing to the senses if it is brewed well and if one drinks it in moderation. I do not care for drinking for the sake of intoxication.
I have a bottle of imperial stout for tonight, made by Nøgne Ø. It is a heavy and very rich beer best paired with deserts like vanilla ice cream with or maybe a rich chocolate cake, or just by itself.
