The bane of the Homebrewer..., how is it that so many beer bar owners are so ignorant? Options

So I am going through the training program of a beer bar here, and the owner had the audacity to write up his own descriptions for nearly every beer style you can imagine. That's all fine and good, but after a bit of reading I found myself yelling at my manual "NO NO NO!". Its so frustrating to me that this is what they TEACH their staff, and large portions are either very poorly worded, or just wrong.

The certified beer servers I have encountered seem to have a certain air of snobbery for sure however I cannot deny that a beer bar full of them makes the place easier to navigate as a craft beer drinker. As for everyone else I couldn't really comment.

I for one believe in a future where there is a market for high abv beers, vintage beers, and the like, right along side our favorite easy drinking accessible brews. Sure beer pairs better with food than wine could dream of, but at the end of the day just drink what you like!
