He wants to talk about instead of drink it.

Sam Adams was one of the first beers I had that introduced me to the concept that beer can actually have flavor.

I like San Adams, but I drink craft beer only because I listen to great music (60s and 70s music, also indie music). Also craft beer are like hipsters they get kind of annoying after a while.

Yes, the words "that being said", doesn't fit in my reply. Like I tried explaining, I assumed he wasn't holding the standard to beer types, and I didn't know why I assumed that. I think it was because him saying it was over hopped in the first place led me to assume he had only been drinking Coors, and wasn't using any standards at all. "Also you were the one that wasn't holding the standard to beer types."

Yes, it slipped my mind, like I said. I dunno where the problem is, I already agreed :)
