This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Just because you make products that you wouldn't necessarily choose yourself doesn't mean you aren't an excellent audio engineer. This same principle applies to the brewmasters at macro breweries. The fact that they make a difficult to brew beer extremely consistently shows how good they are, but they still wouldn't choose to drink it.
- wozniacki 13y agoOn your point about brewmasters at macro breweries: Light beer may be easy to drink, but it's hard to make. Here's why the weakest brews deserve more applause. It's common to disparage light beers. As craft beers have elbowed their way into American refrigerators and taps, light beers have become punch lines. What few drinkers know, however, is that quality light beers are incredibly difficult to brew. The thin flavor means there's little to mask defects in the more than 800 chemical compounds within. As Kyler Serfass, manager of the home-brew supply shop Brooklyn Homebrew, told me, "Light beer is a brewer's beer. It may be bland, but it's really tough to do." Belgian monks and master brewers around the world marvel at how macro-breweries like Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors have perfected the process in hundreds of factories, ensuring that every pour from every brewery tastes exactly the same. http://www.mentalfloss.com/article/12940/scientific-reasons-respect-light-beer http://www.mentalfloss.com/article/12940/scientific-reasons-...
