I said:


Funny how beer snobbery is regional.


What region am I being snobbish about?


None that I saw from you, as the remark was neither directed at you, nor
your beer choices ... but you certainly can't argue with the premise.
Remember the 'cachet' of the horse **** known as "Coors", when you could
_only_ buy it in Colorado?

To be perfectly accurate, you could buy that horse **** in most of the
Western states. We could get it here in Arizona, for example.

The favorite swill of the young and the clueless when I was growing up.

Hell, there was nothing worth speaking of _West_ of Texas when I was
growing up.

We had three kinds of young men at A&M while it was still all male back in
the early 60's: Them that made it down to Mexico to buy drugs, drink Dos
Equis and get laid once a month; the business majors who never got laid
because they were too busy driving to Colorado to buy Coors for resale to
the teasips up in Austin; and us Engineers, who drank Pearl and drove to La
Grange three times a week to get laid at what became known as the "Best
Little Whorehouse in Texas", for a total outlay of $18 ... times were hard
and so were we.
