Life would be so much nicer if everyone drank gin and tonics.

xp yeah most ppl i know would drink whichever one was on special at the store.
nowadays i support GANSETT as the beer of all new england hipsters.

lol I ended up with a 12-pack of that after the Superbowl, it was surprisingly tasty

red stripes not so expensive in the US!

(although nostalgia makes me pine for Meister Brau)
not here at least. it is kind of a hipster beer i guess! so is tecate.
gansett's not bad! i get it at shows and stuff. the seasonals they're doing now are actually quite good.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 4 April 2011 17:26 (thirteen years ago) link
red stripe is probably more expensive than it's worth but it's necessary in hot weather. i actually had some modelo especial cans recently and they were surprisingly good--that would be a nice choice for hipsters.

i had some narragansett this weekend. you cant get it in nyc really but its all over ne it seems like.
― ban drake (the rapper) (max), Monday, 4 April 2011 17:27 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i think modelo is as a hipster beer now. red stripe you can get for like 6.99 a six-pack here which seems about right for the quality. i drink a lot of it. i think yeungling and rolling rock count as hipster beers too.
― ban drake (the rapper) (max), Monday, 4 April 2011 17:28 (thirteen years ago) link
xxp: the guy who brought it was all "this is 2nd half beer" and proceeded to drink practically the entire Victory variety pack I had bought
I will admit that hot weather makes a lot of those super light beers make a hell of a lot more sense; going to Puerto Rico taught me to really, really appreciate Coors Light.

it does not explain why Miamians drink Heineken.

Heineken is all right but Amstel is much, much better.

gin-based drinks in general are the hallmark of civilization

i mainly know Colt 45 from like Chuck D et al's argument about its high alcohol content and aggressive marketing to the black community, so when i saw so-called "enlightened" white NYC hipsters so quick to throw money at them, I was pretty smh

Don't really feel on-board with the "they all dress/drink the same!" aspect of the skewering of hipsters (of the williamsburg or shoreditch varieties) ITT. Fashion trends are like music styles: when you're not into it you become blind to nuances and apt to assume generalisations are 100% correct.
― Tim F, Monday, 4 April 2011 23:29 (thirteen years ago) link
otm..."they think they're different but they're all the same" is like the 1+1 fucking equals TWO!!! of hipster discussion
― Packie Bonner (Local Garda), Monday, 4 April 2011 23:39 (thirteen years ago) link
and in fact i am often surprised by how many diff types of hipster there are...less than noticing total uniformity anyway. there are all sorts of older trends, mod, metaller, etc etc etc threaded through the whole hipster thing.
that plus the fact that people, even ones i've never met, tend to be different from each other due to having minds/beliefs etc.

Yes. Even in gay-hipster world - which for obv reasons should be even more intensely uniform - you get guys in wifebeaters + flannel shirts with fop-tops and five day growth hanging out with shiny-point-shoes bryl-creamed little princes hanging out with tanned tennis-ready preppy types and these are all clearly within the venn diagram "gay hipster" but on any other sensible reading ought to have nothing to do with one another.

Don't know why I added an exclamation mark to yr quote ronan.
ime miller high life was equivalent in terms of test, value, and cache, esp after they redesigned the bottle. the brand that hipsters really missed on is regular coors, which costs about the same and tests much much better.

coors co. supports extreme right wing politics & i remember flyers the black student org put out on my campus about how u shouldnt buy coors, k*l*ans, blue moon, etc because the guy who runs the company throws millions of dollars at destroying affirmative action

craft beers in general are huge 'hipster beers' in chicago. you cant throw a rock right now w/out hitting some bearded dude in flannel who will make pronouncements abt what kinds of craft beers are worth your time & how he's making his own beer etc etc etc in this city. i think these dudes just wish they lived in portland
― timbo slice (D-40), Monday, 4 April 2011 23:51 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean PBR is still a thing but thats like, for 20 yr olds. by the time u have a job & have started working at groupon, which is singlehandedly employing chicago's hipsters and by extension keeping revolution, half acre and metropolitan brewing in business, they prefer to sip beers like a fine wine
im not immune although i cant really afford to be
― timbo slice (D-40), Monday, 4 April 2011 23:53 (thirteen years ago) link
isn't liking nice ales just like...a pretty normal thing to do for any middle class person or upwards?
it's not just hipster, is kinda like liking football or something surely?

the states had no craft beer culture until up into the 80s & even then it was pretty heavily niche-ified. it wasnt til the past 5-10 years that this shit really started growing
i think it had something to do w/ prohibition, like in the 20s all the craft brewers went out of business & only the huge co's could afford to keep going by putting barley production towards ... i dont know what, i feel like i heard some drunk beardo tell me this at a party so its kinda spotty
― timbo slice (D-40), Monday, 4 April 2011 23:57 (thirteen years ago) link
nah not everyone is into microbrewery or whatever here but it doesn't feel exclusively hipster either. don't old men in the us like microbrewed ales?
x-post ah i see...that kinda answers my question.
ireland is quite weird like this, literally zero craft beer culture, i only started drinking ale when i moved to london. my irish friends hate it.
