20 years a BA, today

Wow! Nice to meet an original. Can you recall what you were drinking when you joined? Cheers my friend.

 

Bloody brilliant!!

 

Member #160 if I guess the convention correctly.

Greetings from Member #255,457 (again, assuming I guess correctly)

 

You introduced yourself and your tiny notebook some years back at the original Peekskill location. A pleasure to have talked and enjoyed beers together. Congrats on twenty years! Here's to the next twenty! Cheers!

 

Congratulations! It's great that you've enjoyed the site and "this thing of ours." Cheers to 20 more!

 

Congrats buddy!

 

Congratulations! That’s some staying power. I’m like that’s forever ago but it was still in the 2000s! Cheers, wish I had a Young’s ramrod or something to toast you with but all I got is this new fangled stout with almonds, coffee, fair trade cacao nibs, and lactose. Only partly kidding.

 

Kudos! Way to go! Congrats! Atta' boy! Cheers!

 

Cheers to that. I remember your handle from the early days.

 

That's nice. It shows real tenacity and a unique on-line historical perspective of the American beer scene in a huge growth and change era. It has grown world-wide and it's better than ever....

 

Cheers to 20 years of being on Beer Advocate. That's awesome. I'm still quite a few years behind that, but, I'll make it.

 

Congrats, wish I had found this community a little sooner. Here's to 20 more!

 

Count me among those who congratulate you on this milestone. Awesome accomplishment!

 

Congrats man! I'm quite a new member compared to you (1246197 vs 160) but I too love everything about this community. I hope to be here in 20 years as well. Drinking a 2015 vintage 120 Minute IPA and it goes out to you

 

That is pretty cool and that was a crazy world at the time. 2 months after 9/11 and found this outlet. 2001 I was sipping Sam, Flying Goose, and trying some beers that looked interesting when I saw them. I was single then, now married with 3 kids and living at my 3rd address. Cheers to you sir and I hope for many more beer years for you.

 

Wow! That's awesome!
20 years is quite a bit of time.
The true constant is change and to be on BA for that long is quite an achievement.
Been a member here for half that time, but it doesn't feel that way. Met some really cool people on here in that time too!

Awesome to see an OG still around!

Cheers!

 

Damn, I'm coming up on 10 and I thought that was a long time.

Congrats on the 20!

 

Congrats on the 20 years!

That would make me member #64 if that's a correct interpretation..
