I’m a beer snob. What about you?
I don’t know when it happened.
But at some point, I became a beer snob.
When I was in college, I would drink the worst American beer, in a can, even if it was warm.
Milwaukee’s Best. Pabst Blue Ribbon. Budweiser.
I wasn’t picky.
As long as it was cheap or free.
Now, when I’m at a restaurant or bar in the U.S., I always ask two questions:
- Do you have an IPA?
- Is it on draft?
If the answer is “no,” I might go somewhere else or just drink water.
DRAFT #3
This week, we’re exploring Atomic Word #1,185: draft.
In the Middle Ages, the original word meant “to pull.”
So here’s how to remember today’s meaning:
If you get a draft beer, it’s like they’re pulling the beer out of the keg.
Yeah?
