    What are the classic BA's out there that make you laugh and cry daily. I want the stereotypes to flow, the good the bad and the ugly:

    I'll start:
    1) The Homestate Advantage BA: This BA only advocates beer from their home state because obviously Colorado is the only state to make great beer.
    2) The Mute Ticker: Never one to write out a beer review this BA has "reviewed" over 1,500 beers in the 1.5 years they've been on the site.
    3) The Professor: This BA's knowledge of everything beer is so accurate and so widely trusted you don't even need to Google or hit Wikipedia to fact check, you just believe.

    Who else we got out there...?

    Mr. No Shelf Beers!- will offer up only recommendations of obscure, hard to get beers, even when the OP specifically requested easy to find substitutes for just that sort of thing.

    The Houstonian: Will go out of their way to line up for every single beer release at Downtown Specs if Joey tweets it out saying it's limited. May also be prone to using hobos as mules for bottle limits and for visiting/hoarding Austin breweries, begging them to distribute more in Houston.

    The guys who play the game of chasing the most coveted limited releases and then complain about how much they have to pay for them.

    KBS sucks guy. (Side note this really could be any limited release but guy who thinks it has changed for the worse over the years or is just mad that he didn't get the allotment he thought he deserves)

    The "oh this topic again" BA. This BA flies into every thread that comes out frequently and says stuff like "Oh great, I haven't seen this thread in a while" or "the search button is your friend." This BA is actually trying to brag about how long s/he has been here by showing the rest of the forum that they've been a beer advocate so long that they have seen all these threads. This BA also doesn't seem to understand that message boards dedicated to niche hobbies frequently attract people with similar questions/concerns/thoughts.

    Don't cry for this BA, they're already dead.

    The "I only drink whales" guy. Beers like Anchor, Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, etc., all suck according to him.

    The Exclusive Style Snob. These are the people who think that the style of beer that they like is the greatest in the world, with all other styles being lower than a can of PBR left in the sun for 5 years. I throw into this category the people who think that if a brewery makes more than 5 barrels of beer a year, the brewery's not "crafty" enough and is beneath them.

    The "Beer X" was better last year BA.
    Of course it was, they probably made less of it, so it is more rare.

    Looks like I was just beaten to the punch by a few seconds. Good call.



    The autumn seasonals are getting released early BA
    Anyone else noticed they have already started releasing pumpkin beers and octoberfests and it is only July?

    The timid "IMO" BA who needs to qualify everything they say with the acronym in hopes of preventing everyone from ripping them a new asshole for stating anything.
