    You really go through over two cases of beer per week? :grimacing:

    Too many good beers out there to try, so I usually prefer buying 1-2 beers of each bottle I am interested in trying...

    The longer I post on this site and drink beer the more annoyed I get with the limited releases. Chasing them is getting so tiredsome I've finally found a happy medium of grabbing the limited stuff when I see it, but not seeking anything out. I'm perfectly happy drinking most six packs.

    Not quite as bad, but I'm definitely close.

    Communication is only beneficial when we use a common language, have a common understanding of terms. We now live in a world where the definition of the word literally is figuratively. Please don't take us further down that path.

    I could be perfectly content drinking nothing but Two Hearted for the rest of my life. I appreciate variety, love sampling new beers but I don't need it.

    Sadly in the USA session beer is a meaningless term . It should not be used at all.

    Much like the words rare, skunked, infected, gouging and so on. We sure like to ruin a lot of words with perfectly good definitions.

    You prob. could get a taker for the 90 cents somewhere, since the words dollar and cent, like session beer, have different meanings in different parts of the world. :wink:

    I find myself doing this especially this time of year when so many great beers are coming out. However throwing all flagship beers under the rug like they aren't comparable is dumb. A great example is Two Hearted, which is an amazing beer.

    Same boat here, it's rare I drink the same thing twice in a night. Almost never buy six packs either. I have beer ADD

    I'm leaning more in your direction.

    There's plenty of year-round brews I still love, but the more I get into beer, the more I'm buying seasonals and specialty brews.

    This IS a great idea. One I discovered years ago. I started defining a marathon as 5 miles. Why? Because I like to run 5 miles.

    I don't like forced "session" IPA's. I do like English ESB's and Milds that are flavorful on purpose brews that just happen to be 3.7% abv

    I was honestly not too impressed with session beers till All Day IPA came out in cans. To me, this has totally redeemed the style. Just bought a 12pk of them yesterday and can't seem to get enough. My Summertime of 2014 will be filled with this beer!
    Aren't they pretty? :wink:
