Beer culture and "conservatism"

Considering the thread title again, I'm confused at Wyatt's pro-conservative leaning, while deriding my 'authenticity' thing.

Sounds good, 1890.

I had a bottle of Veltins Pils with my ravioli.

Why?

I had a bottle of Landlord with my chilli crusted chicken-schnitzel and gnocchi.

Why?

Because your opening post seems to voice a desire for traditional methods, recipes, whatever. This would seem to fit with a desire for authenticity. Perhaps not identical goals, but hardly polar opposite.

I don't value Northern Europe's local beer styles because they're authentic. I don't think authenticity comes into it. Come to that, they're not all that authentic, most of them: they all depend on technologies of controlled kilning, brewing, and cooling that weren't developed until the nineteenth century. Perhaps only Belgian lambics and Finnish sahti are really properly old skool. Maybe Dunkelweizen as well?
