The little things you love...

I love that first scent of fruit and citrus that shoots out of the bottle or can the second one of our modern hop masterpieces gets opened. Good ones you can smell across the room. It sets my salivary glands into action and makes me anticipate that first delicious sip. Sometimes it smells so good I'd almost rather hold my nose in the glass and sniff rather than take that sip. Sooooooo aromatic and full of deliciousness.

 

I love:

- Watching the head develop
- Different glassware for styles
- The feeling when you ask at a shop or pub, "Do you guys have any _____ left?" And then they go get you some
- Up to date tap and to-go listings on websites
- When an aroma makes your head expand
- Seeing an up and coming home state brewery start hitting bottle shops
- When that trade package arrives safely with something you've always wanted
- That squint face combined with a head nod when a beer meets or exceeds your standards

 

I love a couple of drinks

 

I love matching glassware (SN logo glass & SN beer, etc....)

 

Just relaxing by myself with a good beer. I notice a lot of negativity in the US today (especially with politics), and that is one of the things that makes me feel good. Propping my feet up and sinking into my couch with something that wows me

 

I love free beer

 

Going to a bar or brewery with my dog.

 

I love:
A perfect, picturesque, nitro pour
Proper and unique glassware
The amazing, first whiff of hops when you open a package during brewing.

 

-A story on the bottle
-When the taste and aromas are completely different
-When you find a beer worth buying over and over and over
-when you enjoy a beer in a style that you usually don't like or dont drink often

 

Sorry for being the negative thread starter lately..lol. letting people vent is good, getting things off your chest is healthy and it's good for more long term positivity. I'm like a therapist. . A drunk therapist. There I pissed.

 

When the lacing is a damn work of art.

 

I love beer! I love really great beers!

- (My girl) It stinks in here . . . While home brewing.
- That beer is juicy.
- When beers get better with age.
- "Yeah man, you can have my last King Sue, it's on the house."

 

I like to make sarcastic comments...like were you trying to say you are livin' it up, or trying to liven it up?
Staying positive however, I like when I'm (pleasantly) surprised by a random location or beer that I had no expectations for. With sites like BA, that is rarer now, but still happens. Also, like @hophead7117 said, I love it when my kids walk in the house and say, "Ugggghh, what's that smell? Dad, are you brewing again?" I also love the look of my office mates when I'm explaining a beer I brought in for them to try, and they are like...dude, can I just f-ing drink it?

 

I love the time I set aside each day to do nothing but have a beer
- I love that when I get here you all are already here and I am never early or late
- I love when you all start cooking on the threads
- I love NBS
- I love proper glasswarez and whalez and reviewing beer

 

I'm fairly new to trying different styles of beer and craft beer. I love learning about them. And the research ain't bad either.

 

I love:
>All those fantastic coffee stouts (You know who you are).
>Supporting local craft
>Drowning shitty day sorrows in dank, resin filled IPAs

 

I have several friends that claimed to not enjoy beer and I loved that they liked me enough to educate them. I love the moment when it clicks. Showing people how diverse beer is. Most of the people in my circle hated bud light or their first "craft beer experience" was a hoppy beer and they were turned off. I love introducing friends to new styles they've never had and finding the first beer they fall in love with.

I love forgetting how awesome saisons on, and then remembering again every 4 or 6 months.

I love a Hefewiezen with brunch on Sunday.

I love supporting small businesses in my community.

I love he friendships I've made strictly through beer that turn into way more than than drinking buddies.

Most of all, I love that beer brings people together.

 

I love finding a new brand of beer on the shelf.
I love trying new beer styles.
I love sharing new beer with friends and family.
I love traveling to go to breweries and stores to get beer.
I love reading about beer releases and reviews.
I love collecting beer signs for my beercave.
I love drinking beer most of all.

 

• That first sniff of a new beer.
• Lacing. Beautiful lacing.
• Using the bullet feature on BA for the first time.
  
• When a beer is unconventionally beautiful.
• Drinking a beer in different glassware. Yeah it's more work to clean it, but I love seeing how my perception of the beer varies per the glass I'm drinking it out of.
• Threads that are affirming rather than derogating.
• Drinking a beer with a novel cap (I collect bottle caps)
• Giving love to an underappreciated style.
