Well then, you should allow for snobbery in beer since there is great
craft in the brewing process.


Not much craft once the recipe is complete. The process itself is very
simple.
It's more about quality of ingredients and repeatability.

That shows what YOU know about brewing beer, absolutely NOTHING.
Brewing is quite complex. Ever made beer from all grain? Ever, by
trial and error make your OWN recipe, again, by all grain extraction
methods? Didn't think so.


My God, do you ever read for content? I said not much craft *once* the
recipe is complete.
Of course there is some craft in the creation of a recipe (though even this
is drastically reduced with the new brewing software's available) but once
the recipe is complete it becomes a simple matter of duplication.
Brewing nowadays is more a science than craft.


Most mass produced beers in Canada, *and* the US suck.
That being said, if I were forced to drink either, I'd rather drink the
watery US beer than the skunky Canadian.

Not all Canadian beer is "skunky", as well as not all U.S. beer
is"watery".

I agree not all are, but IMO most mass produced beers from Canada are skunky
and most from America watery.
Micro's are a whole different story.
