Poll: Beer and the seven deadly sins

Depends on which release it is, and if we have the beer or are looking for it.

Might be quiet thread due to wrath at the moment...

 

Envy, simply because of the hauls thread!

 

One could really apply all of the sins to various aspects of beer culture. For example...

Wrath: "WHAT THIS PLINY YOU TRADED ME IS ONE MONTH OLD FUCK YOU"

Greed: "Oh look, a case of KBS, no bottle limit...ALL MINE NOW!"

Sloth: "I've had too much...I think I'll take a nap for a bit *sleeps for 10 hours*"

Pride: "Look at my case of KBS, everyone's gonna be so jealous of all the trades I'll win in the future"

Lust: "I could write poems about how damn tasty you are, KBS."

Envy: "WAT? My next door neighbor has TWO cases of KBS?!"

Gluttony: "Ooh, I think I'll drink an entire 4 pack of KBS tonight"

 

gluttony, because i can't drink just one beer.

 

Gluttony is my vote. Of course that is me projecting

 

I went gluttony, pride, and greed.
Gluttony: I can't keep a well stocked cellar simply because I drink the shit up. (this is really me)
Pride: I think the beers in my cellar are worth more than the beers in yours.
Greed: I want to get as much of your cellar as I can with as little of mine as possible.

 

Lust, gluttony and wrath. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't go to the right pubs.

 

LOL - was working on this kind of thing...yours is way better!

But you can combine them all too:

"I'll hire a guy to go buy two more cases of KBS for me because then I'll have three and neighbor has two so look at me, big man on campus again. Plus I will be taking a nap because I drank my whole four pack of KBS from the case I purchased with no bottle limit and I am exhausted from the creative effort of KBS love sonnet writing and I only had to drink the KBS because some dickweed sent me a month old Pliny in the first place...wait...what? Neighbor just scored Cantillon...the bastard..."

 

Wrath and gluttony because I find that I pout if I drain pour so that's kind of wrathy. And gluttony because I have to have to try all the beer.

 

For consumers it is gluttony, in my case, I want to try every damn beer available to me.

For brewers, it's greed most definetly

 

Dude I gotta read your beer reviews

 

My name is carteravebrew and I am not an alcoholic; I am a "beer glutton."

Nah, seriously though, I need to lay off the sauce a bit.

 

Envy for me. I think it also brings out the good in a lot of people. My favorite thing about the craft beer community is the generosity of so many people that are a part of it. I have been completely astounded by the good-will of a couple forum members on here toward me, and I always try to pay it forward. PtE is next to impossible to acquire anywhere within 500 miles of me, and when a forum member here sent me one (as a gift, mind you) I couldn't even dream of drinking it by myself. First thing I did was text a couple of my craft beer friends to come share it, and they do the same for me. I think that's awesome.

 

As I was putting down a Rodenbach Grand Cru last night- not sipping it, but taking generous gulps and enjoying every second of it- I figured how nice it is to ride the wave of gluttony every once in a while.

 

Sorry, meant forum member. I meant board member as in "discussion board member". Possibly an outdated term now, ha. I'm relatively new to this site, I think you guys actually refer to eachother as "BAs" now that I think about it...

 

Ah yes. Reminds me of the time I killed an entire 750 of Rodenbach GC - and wishing I had another 750 to kill.

God bless Gluttony™.

 

I voted gluttony due to getting fat and becoming alcoholics. But this was a really great Poll and all seven sins were in the running. Most creative and fun post I have seen on here in a while.

 

So, for something consumable, like beer, it would seem that Gluttony, Greed and Lust are all different sides of the same coin...

...err, three-sided coin.

Greed is about obtaining said beer. Gluttony is about drinking said beer. And Lust is about pining for more, having just finished said beer.
