Negativity or honesty. Sometimes the only way to become a better brewer is to make the mistakes that lead to wastewater, it's a learning process. I am my own worst critic as most, I think, are! Of course there are some who brew in denial, but they are always out there, and the only way to wake them up is for someone who can walk the talk to trash the product.
There is not only some horrid homebrew out there, there is some pretty heinous commercial brew as well.
If you, and your friend's like what you brew that is really what matters most. That said though, I think the best brews and brewers are always looking to improve...evolve.
I would rather have JP trash my beer, tell me what was wrong and where I can improve, then to just brush me off, with a passing gratuitous remark. No?
