The alternative to craft beer frightens me. Does anyone really go to a pub and order Fosters/Carling etc by choice?

The West Street types do but thankfully , cringe worthy or not, the craft beer movement has changed our drinking tastes forever and a jolly good thing too.

what about all the perfectly decent beers that dont use "craft beer" in their marketing? its a meaningless term that many good, local breweries dont feel the need to use.

Some people do. The airport Wetherspoons are interesting places as they stock many excellent craft lagers and other beers but some, in fact many, people still plump for Stella.

What we need is more pubs selling fine wines, continental lagers and a single rock-hard cheese roll under a perspex thing behind the bar.

Yes, yes we do.
I am also lucky enough to know some Ale/craft beer drinkers who AREN'T pretentious snobs.

I have been known on a scorching hot day, after a long stroll across the Downs to pop into a pub and order an ice cold Fosters. It has it's place.

I had a cheese sandwich from a shell garage that was 'cave aged mature English cheddar'! What ever happened to cheese and pickle? :)

I actually quite like Stella due to its strength. Especially before a flight.

This reminds me of the Harry Enfield sketch when a woman goes into an artisanal bakery and looking at the board she suggests "£5 for a chocolate tart" is a mistake. The shop keeper goes to change the menu....you think to change the price but simply adds 'e' to tart. The woman then joyfully proclaims in a middle-class accent "£5 for a chocolate tarte, I'll take two."
