Sh*t “Beer Experts” Say. 🍺

With the rising popularity in small batch ale and micro breweries came the ruse in wannabe beer experts. #beersommelier #cicerone #beersnob

For a long time, there have been professional wine tasters called sommeliers who carved out a niche for themselves in the world of alcohol. These were the “wine snobs.” The reputations of wine sommeliers are questionable at best, often selling their reputations for large paydays from winemakers who need some exposure and notoriety the right review can afford them.

Now we have beer sommeliers, but they are often far less qualified to tell you anything about a beer, lager, or ale that isn’t already on the label.

The clip edited into this #short is from the pilot episode of a new web show titled, “Da Beer Show.” The man in the video, who also created the show, is Greg “Opie” Hughes. Opie doesn’t claim to be an expert on beer, but for him to say he can taste the #hops and #ipa was hilarious and immediately reminded me of what a douchey beer snob would say.

Hughes was half of a “shock jock” duo that was wildly popular in the 1990’s and into the 2000’s and early 2010’s. Modern times finds Hughes occupied with solo projects. Check out @opieradio to see what “The Opester” has been up to.
