Now we all know obnoxious beer snobs (to be differentiated from nerds or geeks), the hoppier-than-thou obsessives who are only too happy to denigrate others’ taste in beer because it’s not as “refined” or “elevated” as their own. And taking to the Internet (often anonymously) to flame allows them to be even snarkier and nastier not unlike the clashing e-commentary on the presidential nominees. These trolls are not the best of craft beer drinkers, nor are they at all representative of the craft beer community on the whole.
