    Well, it was a bit of an exaggeration. But you know the type... you see them at any festival and they're the first in line at all of the release day events. Not bad people, but definitely not my type.

    When you go to the beer store "just to see what they have" even though you already know, and walk out with 6 bottles total and about $30 poorer

    I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with the slick work you did in the construction or in the collection. Bravo, sir!

    when you thank a fellow BA for sharing their secret shop w/ stock of your fav beer by searching a 30 mile radius for his fav beer.... and when a shop owner calls back 3 days later and says "oh, I found it in this super-obscure tiny shop 15 miles away, you reply "I already found it there too".

    truth. what it comes down to with my friends usually is "hey im hungry lets get something to eat here, yeah but lets see what they have on tap first" if it sucks, on to the next spot :grinning:

    When your craft beer store knows you so well that they call you to let know of a new arrival, and that they're setting some aside for you so you don't miss out :rolling_eyes:

    I have a full subterranian basement. no beer in it. why?! well, it's funky, and because of the heating system, it's the warmest f'ing place in the house! Definitely NOT beer friendly.
    I'm always envious of people when they use the term "cellar" on this site... knowing full well that theirs is likely a refrigerator or something else modest... because I don't even have that!
    My fam wouldn't put up w/ a second fridge, and the main fridge is barely large enough to hold our food. :angry:

    to the person above who mentioned the walk in refrigerator, thanks a bunch for planting THAT seed in my head... argh..... one day I'll have a cool storage spot... one day.

    Or you don't even need a location field because you know what temp you cellar every beer you have at, so you go to that temp cellar :wink:

    When you walk into your local liquor store and go straight back into the refrigerator (with permission) to grab some of the "special" stuff the owner doesn't display.
