Just started on the site and looking to increase my vocabulary and hone my palate. Love reading everyone’s reviews. Hoppy Holidays Prost.
You joined two years ago but are just now getting started? What took you so long?! You're welcome to use the site however you prefer, and learning while you read reviews and then creating your own reviews is kind of like taking then giving. And that's what it's all about. Enjoy your time here.
Thanks for noticing. I laughed to myself self when I tried signing up and got the “this email already exists” message.
Welcome! Lots of opportunities to pickup the lingo around here. Definitely read through the editorial content as well as reviews and forums. Off site try the style guides and some beer books. Best part of this endeavor is a toss up between the folks you will become friendly with and the beer you will drink. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/styles/ https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/search/180660056/?q=Book&o=date&c[title_only]=1 https://www.craftbeer.com/beer/beer-styles-guide https://www.bjcp.org/bjcp-style-guidelines/ Oh!
