Jim Gaffigan is no beer snob. 

The comic, who is known for his extensive riffs on food, doesn’t seem to be a fan of the resurgence of local craft brewers. He said on CBS “Sunday Morning”: 

“Now, it seems every city, town and hamlet I visit has its own beer made by locals: Specialty beers, microbrews, craft beers made by community artisans. And I have to tell you, without exception, they’re all bad.”

Find out what Gaffigan’s really looking for in a brew in the clip above.
