    After moving the clock forward one hour, you are not pissed at losing 1 hour of sleep but losing 1 hour of beer tasting time.

    First time I considered myself a beer geek is when someone offered me a beer in the bottle, I looked at it and thought, "I can't drink this straight from the bottle." It was a humbling experience, I don't always need a glass to drink my beer.

    I can't claim that, but on the 3 computers I use regularly typing a single 'b' in the URL bar brings up this site.

    When you have 3 "trash cans" in your kitchen. One for normal garbage. Another filled with a solution of soapy water, Star San, Simple Green, and Windex to strip bottle labels. All in an effort to keep up with the constant need for bottles to fill with homebrew. And a third to fill with empty bottles to be stashed away in my basement with the 500+ "collector items".

    Not sure if this is geek status or just OCD hoarding. Thin line... I'm sure I've crossed it.

    It's ok, I just had to throw away a lot of 750s from my collections. I know it's for the best, since I don't know how to cork and cage a homebrew yet.

    When you go to a serve-yourself fountain drink station and try to achive the perfect pour. I was admiring the head on my Mountain Dew a few days ago.
