This guy is a total bro. Not snobby at all and just wants people to enjoy beer in whatever way they want. Such a contrast with your stereotypical beverage elitists.

[@liversuccess1420]

Well, his final thought, "drink what you like, thats the most important part...we’re here to have fun." is how everybody should feel about beer!

[@miloradowicz]

Of course he's not snobby. He's a beer brewer, and beer is a peasant's drink. Trust me, I'm an elitist.

[@eanschaan9392]

Beer is the drink of the people.

[@Mr.FinbarJLutter]

It’s because beer is the least snobby drink.

[@JainZar1]

Regarding Cans vs. Bottles: At least in Germany the bottle is more environmentally friendly, since they get used again and again. You bring the empty bottles to the local grocery shop, they then get sent to a cleaning plant, where they pressurewash the bottles inside and out with steaming hot water. Afterwards they get reused for beer. The size and shape of most bottles is according to a standard, so different brewers use the same bottles. It's far less energy intense than smelting and remanufacturing cans.

[@PhoenixKDIX]

Several American states do the same thing (mandatory recycling at grocery stores), but not all of them. Glass bottles are the least efficient to recycle since they're so cheap to manufacture. Americans can recycle glass bottles or any size of aluminum can, but the size of the country can make transporting tons of glass hundreds of miles more expensive than just producing new glass bottles.

[@pierrethetrex6106]

In Germany they reuse the bottles, the energy consumption is pretty much nil once they've been produced and can be used 100s of times. You have to pay for bottles in Germany (all types, but the most expensive are small plastic bottles, and cheapest beer bottles) and you get your money back by going to a machine. This solution is one of the greenest approaches imo, especially for beer

[@tvdsje]

@@pierrethetrex6106 agree and the easiest way to spot the difference it makes: if you go to a college campus in France after a party there are smashed beerbottles everywhere and the glass, in Germany or the NL you'll barely find it. That the 'US' is big is such a bad excuse as it's not like there is just a single factory where they make or recycle beerbottles

[@sebastianm.8576]

Just try the same beer in can and glass. Spoiler alert, the bottled one taste better.

The funny thing about that is that was legitimately used as a reason to push hops-only beer as the only beer brewers must make, sell, and distribute in 1500's Germany. Before hops became the only flavoring in beer, beer/ale were flavored with a bunch of brewing herbs called "gruit". As many of the brewers at the time where female (mostly housewives) and many "gruit" blends were highly-guarded trade secrets, the push to make hops the only flavoring for beer used witchcraft imagery (of herbs and boiling pot stereotype) to push their agenda...

😂 I love the attitude of the first tweet asking about hops. I feel like it’s one of those things that once you ask a wannabe “brew master” about it, they’ll tell you everything about how it effects flavor, but not actually tell you what they are or or why it is used in beer in the first place.

I went on a tour of a microbrewery in Toronto a few years ago and the brewmaster mentioned something very interesting. Lagers take a lot longer to make than ales. The reason why so many small independent breweries tend to make ales, and in particular IPAs, is simply because they can sell more product.

[@theotherohlourdespadua1131]

That is true. "Lagering" is a long-term ageing and storage process where the freshly brewed beer batch is let to age in a very cold place (originally it was done in the cellars of breweries in Bavaria) that can take months to finish. Ale, on the other hand, takes less than 2 weeks to brew...

@@jamescheddar4896 You can spit out while tasting wines, but not while tasting beers because beer has to reach up to the root of tongue to deliver all its bitter flavors correctly.
