    The owner of your local bottle shop tells the guy looking at beer beside you "Ask Him (points at me) hes my real beer guy!" yep that's happened...

    When you know the beer selection at a grocery store/liquor store is garbage, but you still go down the aisle every time you're there in the off chance that something good snuck in...

    Haha. Every time. Especially when traveling.

    You always have a GIF ready, how do you not have one for this?!?

    If I could make GIFs, this is what I'd use:

    My wife ain't vegetarian, but I look for restaurants with good taplists, then see if there's something there my wife would like, then suggest it to her based on the food she likes so I look extra considerate.

    You're not a beer geek unless you create a pseudonym for yourself and drink IPAs ad nauseam.

    You plan day trips in new cities around locations of bottle shops you'd like to visit.


    Check bottle and can dates...and put back on the shelf if it isn't "fresh."

    Oh, I do. My photo album is like Batman's utility belt, but every time I post one I get deleted and issued a warning. Although they did all just disappear suddenly with the moderating changes. Maybe they like me now:slight_smile:

    If homebrewing is about anything, it's about cleanliness. I wouldn't drink any homebrew if the maker couldn't even bother to clean the old labels off the bottles.

    You go to a bar with friends, they order the standard Macro-stuff beer, and you can't help but develop a facial tick, just watching them.
