We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the class room
Teachers leave those kids alone
(yells) Hey, teachers! Leave those kids alone!
I love beer blogs. I love reading ‘em and by and large I quite like what I read. There is a certain perspective that winds me up. Maybe it’s the working class chip on my shoulder, who is to say? Actually it is.
Here’s some random unattributed quotes from beer blogs I’ve read recently. I haven’t named and shamed because I like the blogs, think those that write them are nice people and really am in no mood to pick a fight but here goes
“.....educating folks about Cask Beer is key to its continued growth”
However nice and well meaning and middle class you are, education will not make me middle class. Despite growing up in a terrace council house I managed 2 university degrees, swallowed as much education as I could stomach because I wanted the same nice home you nice middle class people live in and a nice bird with nice knockers under my duvet and I drink cheap lager because I like it. Be grateful I chose that route rather than sell drugs to your kids, rob your houses or lead a revolution where I just take the lot off you. Education makes me prosperous enough to make choices but you cannot educate me to make your choices. I know cask ale is nice grog. I drink Carling because I like it and I have no prosperity guilt whatsoever that makes me wish to pay more for chickens, clothes, chocolate or beer.
“do you think it’s a generally positive thing that the nationals are covering real ale, even if the message is blurred?”
There is no message. A newspaper has no obligation to promote anything, share your perspective or promote the pongy rot you like to poison your guts with. Why should a nice lady that likes a drop of Pinot Grigio and works for a newspaper when asked to write something about “The cask report” produce the CAMRA manifesto? Be pleased she didn’t say pongy ale stunk and tasted of sweaty armpits. Be pleased she liked it, even if tonight she’s back on the Pinot.
“the less enlightened head for Tesco and Sainsbury for their slabs of yellow fizz”
Go on, continue to think your preference for pongy ale makes you any of the following, clever, more articulate, more refined, more discerning or even enlightened. Please continue because it makes me laugh and I like to laugh. But I'm not laughing with you, I'm laughing at you.
If you spot those quotes on your beer blog, please don’t be offended. I’m not picking a fight. I love your blog, that’s why I read it. But that is why the Campaign for Greater Cooking Lager Appreciation must continue to spread the joy of cheap supermarket lager.
Have a top weekend, get some dirt cheap supermarket lager down you and enjoy every drop.
