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.

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.
