beer snobbery

i am turning into quite the beer snob!
drinking craft beer has made me not want to drink anything but the best
which is making it hard to visit many of my old haunts
and me less likely to be enthusiastic about trying some new places
their beer lists just aren't inspiring

so, my snobbery aside, how hard is it to bring in one or two local craft brews?
it shouldn't be that hard...
and it would please me to no end!

i'm tired of granville island and okanagan springs being my only two "local" choices
and corona and stella being the "imports"

sadly, this critique extends to several pubs who pride themselves on having several taps as well
but how inspiring is a choice of local taps that only include granville island, big rock, sleeman, okanagan springs and keith's? 
i.e. the charlatan:  "Located in the heart of Vancouver's Commercial Drive, The Charlatan, is the areas best Gastro-Pub. Offering 15 fresh tap beers with 12 imported brews, its the best place to enjoy the perfect pint."
i beg to differ!
okay, okay, they also carry whistler, but only the weissbier, and i don't love that... cuz i'm a picky-pants as well as a snob!
and for imports they have the lovely, but entirely uninspiring guinness, kilkenny, stella and strongbow
a bit more fun are their belgians (fruili and delerium tremens) but again, my picky-pants don't love the belgians...
okay, okay and i guess i should try the austrian stiegl before i knock it...

but dammit!  i love the food there
and at brown's
and several other places
but i want more of a beer menu!
i want to be inspired every time i enter a pub

so yes, i am a beer snob
and i'm okay with that
