The literary equivalent of a cheap, mediocre working-class beer that hipsters have appropriated? Kurt Vonnegut, I guess.
beer allegories dont work because there arent really any nice or good beers
>>7808538
Bukowski as well, probably.
>>7808538

bukowski = yuengling
vonnegut = pbr
stephen king = molson canadian

Guiness is decent. Corona's ok too. Also some of those microbrews or whatever are pretty decent. I've never liked beer as much as spirits though.
james joyce = founders
thomas pynchon = stone
david foster wallace = rolling rock

Image obsessed 20 something to early 30 year old yuppies and/or trust fund babies who follow various trends, often "ironically". Almost invariably white.

>Almost invariably white.
What's with the racial bigotry? There are hipsters of virtually all races and colors.
I never got people who prefer beer to hard liquor. Sure, I'll drink beer if I want to get shitfaced and am too impatient to get to a proper liquor store, but it's always my second choice. I'd even take a relatively crappy/cheap whiskey like Old Crow over decent beer. Beer just isn't as satisfying, somehow.
>>7808744
There are, but they're a minority (ha) compared to white hipsters, hence the "almost".
>>7808752
what the hell kind of "beer" are you used to drinking?

I drink beer to enjoy, liquor to get blitzed. It's also pretty cheap to try a wide variety of beers.
>>7808538
This is actually a decent answer.
>>7808538
This is what I was going to say
Who is the 3 Floyds of literature?
>>7808775
beer meets this great middle ground though of quenching a thirst and being alcoholic. like, a good lager with food is infinitely better than hard liquor with food. that being said, i know what you mean w/ beer at parties and such. i don't really get why people get fucked off of shitty beer. you have to do so much more consumption of liquid (and pissing and calorie-gaining) to get fucked.

jorge borges is the 3 floyds of literature.

I disagree about the food part. Though it depends on what you're eating. If it's really salty and greasy, beer is a better pairing, but if it's something like steak, red wine or whiskey is better, if it's seafood, white wine is the best pairing.
But drinking with a meal isn't what I was talking about. I do most of my real drinking without food and thirst isn't really a factor I care about since I drink water all throughout the day anyway.
Let's see.
Cheap, bland, consumed by idiots, sought out by teenies, and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Gee I wonder
I am drinking PBR right now.

Hipsters can be poor - they just spend themselves into debt by living well beyond their means.
>>7808538
came in here to post this, well done
>>7808573
Rolling Rock is the best cheap beer though

They can become poor by squandering their money but the hipster lifestyle is impossible to get into in the first place if you're already poor.
