People who don't really know about beer!

Ok, I have not blogged in about a year, but as this day has been a bit of a loss (58 calls and only 1 connect) I have to rant for a minute about people who think that they know something about beer.
This weekend I went to a restaurant in NH and met this guy who was a beer rep for one of the big guys. We were grabbing a drink at the bar while we waited for the table. The rep was nice, but his beer knowledge and facts were a bit off. He started talking about history of beer and breweries, and well his stories were a bit suspect. It just so happens that my hubby has recently been on a beer reality TV show about history of brewing and I happen to know a bit more than the average person.
He said his favorite beer was a wheat beer called Hoegarden – which he thought I had never heard of, and it is a great beer don’t get me wrong, but it is considered a White beer not simply a wheat beer. But I was nice, enjoyed my Tuckerman’s Headwall Alt (which was awesome) and could not have been happier when my table pager went off.
