What’s the difference between being an enthusiast and a critic? Can you love something - really love it - without being pretentious about it?
In this episode, Sarah and I head to the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Chicago to wrestle with a question that’s been nagging me for weeks: what’s the fine line between appreciation and snobbery?
Along the way, I talk with Dylan Quinn and Jeremy Schultz from the Guinness team about beer, comparison, and the myth of the “expert.”
This one’s about more than beer. It’s about passion, humility, identity - and learning to enjoy the pour without putting yourself on a pedestal.
