I agree that beer snobs are a joke. The number of times I've gone to the bar for a pint of something for a beer snob rather than a bog standard pint of bitter or whatever and the pub has not had it so I've got the bog standard. Snob then proceeds to say how great his pint is. Always funny when you're in a crowd and you explain theirs is actually the same as yours, which they have previously derided.
You seem to lead a really strange life. I've spent a fair amount of time in drinking establishments but don't recognise this scenario.
I like places like the Fighting Cock in Bradford, a haven of real ale (and other drinks) and would state with certainty that it is invariably filled with lovely, decent, friendly, "real" people and you are far less likely to find a dude in the FC than in most other pubs. The thing is, most of the customers go there for the beer, but this doesn't make them beer "snobs", it means they appreciate the product, and go to places like this by choice.
If you really have "lost count" of these peculiar incidents, how come these mythical beer "snobs" still associate with you? I reckon you're just making it up. Sounds like a tall story to me, and there's not many real ale drinkers who would mistake a pint of nitroshite smooth or whatever for the real thing. "Lost count", my arris.
