    It's "you’ve tried homebrewing because you find the process fascinating," which indicates the act of you brewing beer at home.

    Ivd never traded beer through the mail but ive done in person trades. I love shower beers. Ive driven an hour just for beer. Im not much of a brewer but i have the on paper knowledge to do so and have worked in multiple breweries.

    For me, I've progressed from snobbery to geekdom. I used to look down on some people because of their tastes, but I've finally realized that there really are no wrong answers when it comes down to individual preferences. Let's just all enjoy and have a good time :slight_smile:

    7/10.
    Never had a favorite beer. I have the perfect beer for different situations and it changes all the time.

    Never stood in line for beer and never will.

    I trade beer all the time with buddies, but I’ve never mailed beer. Mostly because spending time in the post office is not my definition of a good time.

    Love a good power shower! I even have a couple of plastic glasses if I want to get really fancy :grin:

    I’ve learned over time that people can love and respect beer in different ways than you. And that’s just fine.

    My dad has always been a dark beer guy. I have fond memories of taking sips from his Guinness as a small child.
    One year, my brothers and I pitched in and bought him a case of BCBS for Xmas (back when they were in 4-packs).
    I remember coming to visit 7 months later, in the middle of a 100°+ sunny Chicago afternoon, and there is my dad, mowing the lawn and drinking a bourbon county from the bottle!
    I asked him what the hell he was doing and he responded, “What? I was thirsty, so I got a beer.”
    The man loves beer. Just not in the same way as me. And that’s just fine.:slight_smile:

    • Drinking beer in the shower doesn’t sound weird. Seems a bit much..... it's weird.
    • Traveling for work or pleasure always involves mapping out potential beer stops. If my travels take me somewhere I have never been before, I will do some research to try the local stuff.
    • You’ve traveled far or waited for hours just to score some beer, because it was worth it. Not really. If I find it, then great. If not, no sleep lost.
    • You’ve traded for a beer with someone from across the country because you had to know how it tasted for yourself. Yes.
    • You’ve tried homebrewing because you find the process fascinating. Nope
    • When asked what your favorite beer is you’ll always answer with “the next one,” because you haven’t tried every beer on the planet, yet. I love trying new beers but I do have favorites.
    • While you appreciate having it, a lack of proper glassware won’t stop you from enjoying a beer. If I don't have it, it doesn't stop me.
    • Despite being presented with limited options, you’ll always find a beer to enjoy instead of complaining about the selection. Only if the selection is all InBev and MillerCoors
    • You may have a discerning palate, but you don’t look down on the opinions of other beer drinkers. To each their own. I like what I like. You like what you like. Sometimes its the same. Sometimes its different, and thats OK.
    • You haven’t forgotten that beer is meant to be fun. Most Definitely.
