Beer Lingo Dictionary

Basically: peruse the BIF forum.

Choose one that seems to fit your acceptable parameters. (I might suggest either Rookies or Newbies).

The person who Organizes that BIF will set pairings of target and senders.

You would leave hints for your target to try to figure out who you are.

Your sender will be dropping hints for you to figure out.

You send beer.

You get beer.

Maybe, someone ninjas you, maybe you ninja someone.

A USPS medium box is $14, for 2 day delivery. Pack well.

Peruse the trade forum, there are several threads on packing and shipping.

Go read through a few BIF threads. See how it works.

Have a beer.

 

WWVW?

As permeability differs from barrel to barrel, some barrels DO give you a higher oxygen environment than ideal for aging these beers. Those beers develop acetic acid and eventually ethyl acetate characters VERY quickly. If you'd ever aged beer in barrels yourself or even made a starter with Brettanomyces, you'd know just how quickly these characteristics can develop.

BTW, since I'm trying to sound right, very few straight lambics develop much in the bottle in the short term, as they are usually the product of barrels that do not need blending to have the desired character and they are bottled still. Gueuze, on the other hand, is a blend of usually 1, 2, and 3 year old lambic, which, again, develops very little in the bottle in the short term, even though it is carbonated. Neither should have obvious acetic character, even though their acid profile would certainly contain some below threshold acetic acid.

Let me get this straight. You come here and spread misinformation, trying to sound educated about a certain subject, and you want to lecture me about needing to mature to get somewhere in life? Put aside your ego and admit that you are wrong. That would show some maturity on your part. You have no idea what this "kind and compassionate community" is all about, as you've been involved in it for a little more than two weeks. Stick around for a while and maybe we can talk. As it is you're just a flash in the pan who probably thinks that everyone in craft beer, besides me, of course, is a kind, gentle, loving, giving person. Wake up. You're naivety is showing.

You don't need anyone's help.

 

My poor adjunct professors in college would be sad to see that definition.

 

Adjunct Professor would be a great term for those who use the word incorrectly .

 

Add + junk: A recently-coined derivative term of the one above that allows the user of the word to indirectly express an opinion about the illegitimate flavoring things that have been added to a beer by the brewer in the hopes of making said beer more attractive to the hipster consumer.

I'm going to disagree with that being "the most accurate definition" since ticking doesn't have to include rating and the most famous "tickers" went by self-imposed rules of 10oz as a minimum.

Actually, until @JamFuel claimed to be a "ticker," I'd say that the conversation about tickers in this thread has been severely lacking in self-reflection. Seems like many people are too comfortable using the term to only describe someone else's behavior but not their own (by looking at it at its most extreme).

If you're a regular on this site, there's a pretty decent chance that you have some degree of the ticking mentality. This recent poll thread had the overwhelming number of votes in the largest category (1000+ different beers). Granted, not many people voted in the poll, but the results still have some weight. Local breweries by me seem like they are pumping out a bunch of new beers every couple of weeks. This strategy works because there are customers to support it. If you've been to a beer fest or a bottle share, there's a chance you have some degree of the ticker mindset. If you participate in NBS, there's also a chance you have some degree of the ticker mindset. If you know what beers you've actually had in your life, there's a yada yada yada. If you have a "cellar," etc.

It's easy and safe to only think of tickers as the types who have logged 10,000 beers and up, but compared to people who are not interested in beer, knowing you've had 1000 different beers is a HUGE number. If someone knew they had over 100 different beers, I still think that's a big number. If someone said that they've had over 1000 different types of candy, a candy-hobby-outsider would probably be OK with labeling that person a candy "ticker."

So while people are convinced that tickers are "someone else," that's OK, but I don't think they are also on BeerAdvocate because they love to re-read the same Sam Adams Boston Lager reviews over and over again.

 

I've been using this term all wrong! I thought it meant someone who was so focused on NEIPAs that they:

- Suffer from lupulin threshold shift and believe that NEIPAs have no bitterness.
- Suffer from an optic nerve disorder that makes them see opaque as hazy.
- Forget that beers before NEIPAs were described as fruity, citrusy, and tropical.
- Forget that good beer comes in formats besides 16oz cans.
- Forget that shelf stability can be an asset rather than a detriment.
- Forget that 16oz cans are the new bomber$.
- Believe that anything besides a NEIPA isn't worth standing in line for.
- Believe that a beer you can see through isn't worth drinking.
- Believe that beer review websites benefit from color-enhanced photos of beers.
- Believe that a $5 can of a muddy looking, unbalanced beer is the best way to convert "non-beer-drinkers."
- Believe that NEIPAs should inherently be rated higher than other beers.
- Believe that "West Coast" IPAs are now too malty to be enjoyable.
- Believe that NEIPAs will be popular... forever.

At least the good news is that my doctor says that I don't have NDS no matter how you define it.

 

Sorry, I didn't take your comments that way at all. I should have been clearer: My first sentence was aimed at you, but the rest of my post wasn't for anybody specific.

 

Based on all of the above criteria, tickers are "someone else"

 

You're right, I guess I should have made a list of some reported imaginary stimuli, as you did. Thanks!

 

Yeah, and everybody thinks that they're a good driver. (I'm not calling you a ticker )

It's not imagined stimuli, it's a humorous medical condition that I've apparently given the wrong name to. Just for the record, that condition isn't a thinly veiled expose on my style bias. My favorite beer in the last month was an opaque IPA, and I also just bought a lot of beer and there wasn't an IPA in the crowd. You know I mix it up like you. But seriously, you know that there are people ALL AROUND US with some serious humorous conditions (like ticking).

 

Did you solo that to the dome?
