    Your glassware collection has become a rather big problem.

    Your most exciting experience about camping or fishing is what kind of beer you're going to bring on the trip.

    ...then you end up bringing 3 six packs of random shit that you can't decide on once you get in the boat.



    you yearn for the simplicity of your friends but you know it's nothing you can ever go back to...

    .......unless you're in a motel room with your wife who is yelling at you to put the pc away and turn out the lights but you decide to finish reading the forums by taking your pc into the bathroom and closing the door and wishing your wife sweet dreams. Okay, gang, I have to move now and will pick up this conversation from the bathroom in a few moments. :grinning:

    You style your neckbeard before going to stand in line at a brewery 4 hours before they open.

    When you think about moving to another state and the beer distribution is a top 3 factor.

    You stand in line for a release and hear endless dick measuring conversations among total strangers about what whales they have.

    You're not a beer geek unless you know all the date codes for every brewery.

    1. When you walk down the beer aisle and have a complete disgust for half of it.
    2. When you see people picking up a case of bud light and you just have to walk by and mumble idiot as you pass them.
    3. When your entire garage is covered in all the swag you were sent from breweries.
    4. At work you have a picture of you favorite brewery on your desk instead of your wife.

    Every medical abbreviations out there, I interpret it for a beer abbreviation. For example: BCBS - blue cross blue shied or bourbon county brand stout.

    You review every beer you can. I'm not talking beer snob, I'm talking beer geek. Beer is fucking beer. Try it, review it, if it sucks it sucks, but you were interested and the journey is the reward. Always my philosophy. I love beer. No apologies.

    When your family ask you for beer recommendations they can pass on to their friends who are going out of town, and you oblige with no less than a half dozen places and specific brews.

    Also, you've never actually been to wherever they're going, but somehow you know anyway.

    I catch myself swirling a glass of water before taking a sip constantly.

    Your friend tells you that he has 800 bottles of wine and you honestly say that you don't know whether you have more or fewer bottles of beer in your cellar.
