Two beer quotes

Two observations on beer recently struck my fancy:

No one brews "near-perfect beer" - silly idea.

Alan McLeod, A Good Beer Blog
as seen on Twitter.

... which is why, usually to the consternation of the interrogator, I never can answer the question, "What's your favorite beer?" The quest is ongoing. The 'perfect' beer would end the fun.

And, from Joe Stange, as posted on the Burgundian Babble Belt beer discussion website, as re-quoted by Stephen Beaumont:

All brewers, Belgian or American or otherwise, ought to have the freedom to play around with various hops and yeasts without it [their beer] suddenly being nailed down and pigeonholed into some imaginary style.

... although some do try to do just that.
