Who's YOUR main drinking buddy?

My friend, fellow brewer and co-owner of the brewery, we have a beer review youtube channel. Cheers!

 

Now I know where all these "catpiss" flavors described in some of the reviews I've been reading come from..............

 

father

 

I consider my fiance as my primary drinking buddy. She isn't much of a drinker anymore, but she'll take sips off my glass or when we are out, order a beer of her own, take a few sips, and give me the rest. Double the beer and a DD!

When we can align our schedules, @TonyJ815, @mynameiskyle, and @Zakk are the "bottle babies" I pop bottles with.

 

^^^ what Willie said!

 

I have 2, one is just getting into craft, the other is strctly a Bud Light guy, but that's cool, he gets the NFL Sunday Ticket so we drink Bud Light and watch the Bills game every week

 

My wife of course would be # 1, plus my best friend:

 

My wife and I sometimes drink at the same time, but I don't know if I'd call us drinking buddies. Lately it's been my brother. Craft beer and my young kids have given us a couple extra reasons to spend time together. I think we've spent more quality time together in the past 2-3 years than in the previous 10. I'm very happy about all of this.

 

My brother in law, a non BA member, but lurker. Always up for some good beer, indoors or out, has a fairly solid Pliny connection, pretty loose with his wallet, and drives very well with a buzz. If he was a chick, I'd marry him...

 

The GF.

 

I have to go with multiple.

My buddy Jeff for sharing good beers, don't get to drink together enough due to proximity to each other, but we are getting together this weekend and some GOOD beers will shared. He is bringing some VT goodies and I'll be bringing some MA goodies.

My buddy Jay, he is a Bud Light guy but will try anything I throw at him and he appreciates good beer, even though he always reverts back to BL. He seems to always grab something with me in mind when we head to a cookout or something. I will gladly drink BL with him. We have a drinking session every other week or so.

My wife, she has started to LOVE good juicy IPA & IIPA's. She can only have a few but she "gets" it. I love seeing her react to the first smell/sip of a nice IPA.

My Dad, he is always looking out for me and picks up some good beers to have on hand. I always try to grab something he will like. We are at opposite ends of the spectrum, I am a hop head and he prefers malty beers. When we find middle ground we both recognize it.

 

It's my craftwife first then a close second would be @shelt11 . Craftwife enjoys anything with hops and anything sour.

 

My wife and my frog. My wife drinks wine and bourbon, and the occasional sip of whatever malty thing I'm currently enjoying. My frog is more a companion on those late nights with a book and a beer, and Netflix/Hulu.

 

That's hilarious - I was just as confused but didn't want to admit it! Kinda like "ya, I'm lost but I'll act like I'm perfectly fine....."

 

As much as I am a crazy cat guy and the two of them are usually hanging around when I'm drinking the answer is definitely my wife, not as much of a beer geek as myself (no BA or untappd accounts) but someone who has probably shared at least 2000 distinct beers with me and a megafan of BA stouts and tongue lashing sours. My beer bills would be a lot smaller and cellar a lot bigger if not for her!

 

I also do most of my beer drinking with you all. Cheers!

 

I remember a recent post polling how many Beer Advocate members were introverts. It seemed
like the majority are. So I agree- "you nerds" are my drinking buddies.

 

For the most part its this pretty little lady





If not with my dog its usually with my buddy Doug.

Columbus IPA is my all time favorite......

Enjoy
