    i don't think i can just choose 3 things in particular BUT one thing i do love about beer is how every brewery has a unique style for how they do things..example: i love three floyd's because of the theme they go with, all the names for their beer and the glorious dark lord day which I'm dying to experience! hopefully i can take a trip out there next year...I'm really into death metal, grindcore etc etc so i just love the names they use for their beer, the art work, and overall the appreciation for heavy music.

    aside from all that yes the thrill of the hunt, trying new styles from different breweries, supporting the local scene, festivals etc all that good stuff :wink:

    1. It tastes great.
    2. It's NOT less filling.
    3. The educational value of SO MANY different style/taste experiences.

    1. wide variety of flavors and aromas
    2. it's fun to brew your own
    3. it's filling, so buzz management is easier to manage than wine or liquor

    Haha, fair enough. Then mine are
    1. Smell/Taste (since they are mutually important and cooperative)
    2. Buzz
    3. Culture since it's a social lubricant just like other alcoholic beverages and also because of breweries' personality, branding an attitude...so, in short, names.
