We've all heard of Murphy's Law, which is usually stated thusly:"If anything can go wrong, it will."
This is followed usually by Murphy's First Corollary: "Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse."
Which then leads to Murphy's Second Corollary: "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."
This often references Murphy's Constant: "Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value."
Leading lastly to O'Toole's Commentary: "Murphy was an optimist."
And you may have read or heard of other rules. There's the classic (and one presumes ancient) The Golden Rule: "He who has the gold, makes the rules" and the obtuse Vique's Law: "A man without religion is like a fish without a bicycle."
Let's add to this list, with Mark's Law of Beer. It is very simple, and in a couple of lines summarizes the entire craft and mass market beer drinking scene, from brewers to drinkers. It offends no one.
That is all.

Some "award-winning" beers may not necessarily be good.
And some good beers may not necessarily be "award-winning."
