What are the attributes of a "craft beer"? I ordered one at a restaurant and it tasted like a normal beer but in a fancy glass and $3 more.

Loaded full of everything other than the basic ingediants basically. Kind of like an ice cream sundae...a macro is vanilla and chocolate sauce...a craft would be like vanilla and pecan ice cream with pumpkin carmel sauce with toasted kale.

Wiki sez:

The Brewers Association defines American craft brewers as "small, independent and traditional": "small" is defined as an "annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less"; "independent" is defined as at least 75% owned or controlled by a craft brewer; and "traditional" is defined as brewing in which at least 50% of the beer's volume consists of "traditional or innovative" ingredients. This definition includes older microbreweries, which traditionally produce small quantities of beer, as well as other breweries of various sizes and specialties.

Not InBev, Coors, Miller or Corona seems to be the only real criteria.

See globefish's response. That's what a craft beer is by definition. It's not a stance against the global purveyors

The snob beer culture is quickly becoming just as annoying as weed or hipster culture.

Heres an idea, just drink whatever you think tastes good and fits your budget. And don't judge people on what they drink. Why is that hard?

I've been labelled as a craft beer snob/hipster because when I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis craft stuff rather than some canned lager. I don't know anything at all about beer, but just based on what I've tried, I cannot stomach the taste. Even ones I can tolerate, it wouldn't be my first beverage choice. Reminds me of

It's funny. Some bars down South try to sell Narragansett as a new Northeastern craft beer. I laughed hard when I heard this.

Beer does taste lousy in totality. Call me queer but I rather drink wine than beer. You will get a buzz quicker and with less calories.

The prices of wine at restaurants is usually ridiculous though. Do people really buy the $100 bottles of wine at the olive garden? If you are going to buy expensive Italian wine you should do it at a real Italian restaurant that doesn't advertise the fact that you can eat endless dry breadsticks
