There is an ongoing tension to have good taste and to have good manners. The more you teach your palate to discern the difference between 2 buck chuck and a bottle of $100 wine, the more likely you will suffer the temptation to think yourself better than those who don't mind 2 buck chuck, or even worse... prefer it. The difficulty of enjoying Bud Light may creep upon the one who has developed a refined taste for craft beer.
The sophisticatti will pressure you to take a stand against the common man and his macro brewed, back wood comforts.
Common does not have to mean lowest common denominator per se. It can mean the highest common denominator.
Do not buy into the lie of cool. Cool shaming only works if you desire to be cool. But cool by whose standard and in whose eyes? More often than not, if you take the time to ask as a Christian, you will discover the source inadequate to the task of validating your existence or tastes.
