Beer snobs bring shame to home brewers

[Jon73]

That is my opinion. I saw a couple of real DB snobs today at the local bottle shop today and I felt shame that others might lump all of us together in the same category.
Perhaps that is shallow of me, but I do this because I love to create beer and am always striving to get better at my craft, not trying to elevate myself through needless snobbery.

All kinds of people in every group.
Don't sweat it.

Yeah, I know. I was just disappointed to see it firsthand.

There are some like that in every hobby/craft.

Screw em, that's my philosophy. I like to make beer at home and most of it tastes good. If someone wants to look at me shamefully for my hobby based on their perceptions that's fine, I won't share my beer with them!

I have a problem with SAE's (self appointed experts).

Beer snobs help home brewers rise above what is generally viewed as a bunch of unwashed backwoods bootleggers.

You can say a lot about beer snobs but at least they're always clean.

..And other generalizations ensue.

Are these beer snobs professional brewers? If so, they should be ashamed of themselves. If not, who cares what they think.
