You might be a BA if...

Universal, baby. I think we've all done that exact thing at some point or another.

 

Oh yeah, I'm a huge vinyl junkie. Rivals my beer obsession at times. I also have a 45 adaptor tattooed on my shoulder...do I win?

 

You might be a BA if you bought so much beer at the beer store you only brought in 2 cases in front of your roommates and then waited until they fell asleep to bring in the rest because you were too embarrassed to show them that you actually bought 7 cases of mixed craft beer : x (thank god it was cold outside)

 

Ive done that thought I was crazy. It was a little different, I would drive to different stores on the way home from work or on my ups route during lunch. I would make a decision according to my tastebuds at that time.

 

Who said that? The shame!

 

You have the perfect glass for every style of beer, but you eat most of your meals off of paper plates.

 

I DO THIS ALL THE TIME!

 

My father frequently travels the country and every single time he calls/texts asking what beers/breweries he should keep an eye out for. I've never geared him in the wrong direction. One time he thought he had met my match (a bartender at some beer bar) and even put the guy on the phone with me. That wasn't awkward...

 

Your craft beer purchase rings up three digits every time.

 

...You find out a local store has the hard to find limited release bottle in and they only have a couple left. You race to store, curse every light that turns red, unbuckle your seat belt before you enter the parking lot, race to the front door hoping they haven't sold out. Then as you enter the store all you see are a bunch of people buying wine, liquor, and Coors Light, and you realize that YOU are the one that looks like a lunatic needing a fix.

 

No you must drink and like IPA!!!

 

LOL! Actually, I did eventually find it (after I had already cancelled it), but I didn't think to ask the lady at the bank if she was a BA or not.

You know, I'm going to make it a point to start asking people if they're fellow BAs. Especially if I see them doing nice things for other people.

 

If the beer people took over the world we woudl all be happy, fed and drunk.

 

Does it count that when watching Workaholics I googled the "Heisler" beer they were drinking only to find out that is a fake beer that they created for movies/TV?

 

"Beer people taking over the world!" Now there's an idea. Why can't Hollywood make a movie about THAT????

 

I just wrote the script:

Enter: Room, tin bar signs on the wall. A man sits on a bed with a beer in one hand and a computer on his lap. He sips the beer, looks hard at the computer screen. He scoffs.
Man: pfff. He thinks Pliny is better than Heady. Likely...

The End.

 

...you spot a brew you would ordinarily grab quick, but then realize it is more than about a month old so you leave it on the shelf.

 

... you make random threads like this on BA to brag about things you do beer related

 

you spend as much on one bottle of beer now as you used to on a bottle of whiskey or Vodka.

 

... you were forced to retire early; and, spend too much time writing about beer. Who knew that beer would have an advocacy? The BA's did. Right?
