    Mine was tonight. I looked in the sink and there were four distinct dirty beer glasses! Eh... I guess I am a beer nerd: stout glass-dirty, pilsner glass-dirty, hefe wiesen glass-dirty, chalice-dirty. There was a time when I would rather not do dishes than get the most out of a glass of beer!

    My first PtE, 11 years ago. Then, realizing why the same IPA differed so much from bottle to bottle due to age. Hooked ever since...

    When I committed matricide because my mother served my barelywine out of a nonic pint.

    In all seriousness, when I realized I was checking the "What are you drinking now" page for that day when I would wake up for work in the morning. Jealous always

    $5 seemed like too much to go 1/4 on a 30 rack of adjunct.

    False, I was always a beer advocate. Prior to that I drank only single malt scotch and other hard liquors.
