مشروب شعبي Explanation: Here, it seems that "hipster" refers to some sort of drink, a "cheap" and "regional" drink. Top 10 Most Popular “Hipster” Drinks The term “hipster” has a long and polymorphous history, particularly in American mainstream culture. A July, 2009 Times article states, “[Hipsters are] the only ones in America who still think Pabst Blue Ribbon is a good beer.” Comments of quality aside, Pabst Blue Ribbon, for whatever reason, is the hipster beer of choice. It is cheap and beer snobs definitely don’t go all in for a sip of it, so maybe those are reasons why hipsters have embraced the German brew with passionate intensity?

In this article, we’re concerned with the latter characteristic: the cheap lager. The perfect hipster beer would be a super cheap lager that’s only brewed intermittingly based on the brewer’s day job schedule (he’s also a bus driver) and distributed to only one bar in Minnesota. From there, spare cases of the beer are bussed directly to key yarn stores all across America where, if you know the right person, you can buy three cans at a time. That’s the ideal hipster beer. Short of that, you’ll have to settle for a cheap regional lager that’s ubiquitous in a few states but super hard to find anywhere else in the country. Or a nationally distributed cheap lager with a cool bottle and label. Either one will work. Full article: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/11/10-hipster-be...

Accordingly, I think the word "hipster" here refers to a person: Speaker B describes Speaker A as being a hipster for ordering a hipster drink. This makes more sense. In this case, I suggest a translation like زبون من الهيبسترز or صديق من الهيبسترز depending on the setting. |
