You're equating being a brewer with being in the Beatles? Strange analogy, but yeah I'd say that was just a job too. Being a musician gets romanticised but it IS just another job. Personally I don't think anyone deserves to get paid ridiculous money for any job, be it sportspeople, musicians, brewers or anyone else.
Blah blah...supermarket bilge...blah blah...the only snobbery I see is from some of the beer bloggers...
You mean apart from the snobbery you've just trotted out? I don't like Speckled Hen personally, but I don't look down on anyone who drinks it. When I buy beer rather than drinking my own I buy the kind of beer you've come across as liking but as I've said, I find it hard to justify the prices that are being charged and it worries me that these prices will put people off. Beer should be for everyone.
And since you asked, hipster wankery in action - http://www.rogue.com/rogue_beer/beard-beer/
