Hey, learn something about beer before writing a dumb article like this. Facts are off and the comments show little respect for the history of beer. Instead you guys pick some decent beers, some great beers, and some awful beers and just say stupid comments to try and be funny. Try a little actual reporting and education, your readership would probably apperciate it.

Pretty ignorant article. Can't believe Maxim wouldn't check simple facts about products before they write about them. There's so many things wrong with this article I don't know where to start.

What did this article take to produce? One trip to the beverage store to pick out some bottles for the photo shoot, 30 minutes for the author to slam down ALL the beer, and then 9 hours (counting nap time) to write the text? This is truly insulting to people who appreciate craft beer, and useless information for anyone who doesn't. And it's not even funny.

Really? With an "article" like this, do you guys over at Maxim expect anybody to take you guys seriously?
It's people like you who steer away the general public from the real beer drinking expirience. Your selection and comments are nothing short of embarrasment.

Another failed attempt at teaching your readers about beer. You could actually do a little research and help your readers out, or you could continue to do crap like this and continue to look like a bunch of hacks writing for college dropouts and teenagers.

FAIL.
Quality work you guys are doing there... please, stick to your Smirnoff's, and Sparks and leave beer to those who are truly appreciative of its qualities.
This "article" is an abomination, of the truest sense - and shows the authors poor work ethic and ignorance.
Laughable, at BEST.

This article sucks. Not only is it obvious the author does not know much about beer, but it is also obvious they don't know much about writing a good article. I can not imagine turning in this kind of crap, and being able to keep my job, must be nice.

Makes me remember why I gave up my subscription a few years ago! Got sick of trying to read articles written by hungover idiots who just don't have a clue...

I hope that the next beer reccommendation are done by someone with a background in both beer and professional writing. Both seem to be lacking in this article.

Hey, I'm alright with beer ignorance. But beer ignorance combined with complete lack of clever writing combined with legitimate tasting notes = fail. You, Maxim writing staff, whom I normally turn to for advice on, well nothing, fail. Again.

I, a long time subscriber, read this article hoping much more would have been done with it. Although, I feel that you may get some guys to try a different beer from regular BMC stuff, I feel this could have gone a better direction. There are far better styles of beer out there and better examples of the beers you choose for this article and the article it accompanied in the magazine. I feel if a little more effort was put forth, it could have actually worked a little better. I have the feeling there is someone working at the magazine who is a part of the craft movement, but he is having a hard time getting his point across to some editors.

It may not be cool to be obsessed with good beer, but it is definitely not cool to be completely ignorant about it while writing a pointless article like this. This article oozes self conscious awkwardness.

Canadian Tourism has put together a fun promo piece on beer with water sourced from icebergs: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=F9Gh8sfDyLk
