Well given you don't drink it and presumably don't bother mixing with anyone that does I think my metric is somewhat stronger.

Did you poll everyone in Spoons for their reasons for drinking it and whether they were aware of the controversies behind the scenes?
Did you poll everyone as to whether they thought 'Growler' was sexist and that they'd buy it on that basis? Jesus.

It's not, its some weird yank reinvention of IPA to appeal to people who like lager and who have never drunk IPA.
As much as they can be mildly irritating, I quite like the French attitude to food and drink - I can't see some new world producer of fizzy wine ever passing for Champagne (or even cremant) there. Why do we undervalue our own beermaking traditions so much?
This is pure nonsense though. I love IPA. But that doesn't mean I'm somehow 'impure' if I enjoy Punk. It's fucking ludicrous. Proper snobbery stuff.

Agreed. There’s quite a lot of different IPA and, although they’re not all pure IPA, there’s one for all palettes.
Almost like if you're a true whisky lover it has to be single malt where as bourbon is as a bastardisation. Where as people tend to like both.

There have been massive variations in IPA’s since they were first brewed. Who gives a fuck?

I'll remember that next time you wade into a discussion on some aspect of being a woman. After all, you can't have an opinion on that topic if you're a woman, by your logic.
Also by your own logic you don't get to have an opinion on what is misogynistic or not, being a man.

The thing is to drink what you like, isn’t it? Disregard what others think, that’s not important.
I've never said you can't have an opinion. Disagreement is a positive thing. It's healthy and informative. I've also never tried to get you banned or kicked off a thread for saying something I don't like.

'something I don't like' was you trying something ill-advised on the Sarah Everard thread, iirc. And several months ago, if not almost a year.
Clearly you bear grudges, instead of apologising and trying to do better.
Fucks sake Magnus, get over yourself.
On the Sarah Everard thread all I suggested was that maybe folk should self organise against incels like they do fascists. And all hell broke loose.
I stand by that suggestion. The issue was that it was considered a violent suggestion by a man.

And yet you wonder why you got kicked off the thread.
Presumably because those kicking me disagree with self organisation.
They self organised to kick you off
They appealed to authority.

How very dare we.
Look, this is not the thread for this discussion. But you spectacularly misjudged the thread, and whether it was appropriate to post, at a time of great grief and anger about the events that happened. Did you really think that telling a group of women to behave like incels was a good thing?

And the fact that you were kicked off the thread after that single post should tell you a lot.

Which is my point - we don't seem to give a fuck about our foods and drinks being bastardised, which is sad.

If this isn't the the thread for it (which it isn't) why do you keep bringing it up?

Sometimes letting these things lie is the better part of valour.
EG loves bringing it up at any opportunity which forces me into defending myself. It's against board rules to do this but I'm not a snide who reports everything as a strategy.

You’ve completely missed the point. There have been massive variations right from the start.

You're not forced into anything. If you think the criticism unfair and likely to lead to being banned off the thread or a warning point why not stuck the thread on ignore for a few days and do something better.
Or people could just stick to the topic instead of cross thread beef? Which is the rules.
