    Sometimes, for certain brews.
    But sometimes freshness is also over rated (or obsessed over more than is warranted).

    1. MOST of you guys/gals rock.
    2. Not everyone appreciates or understands your posting pictures of every beer you drink, but you are not alone.
    3. Though it does not always seem like it, it is likely that asshats predate the internet. They just didn't have as good a podium before.
    4. Still feels wrong taking the afternoon off work to beer shop and try new beers at a taproom. Particularly when you run into a fellow manager doing the same. But others on here can relate.
    5. The hunt is half the fun, and that's OK.
    6. It's OK that you'll now drink water before macro - or is it the same thing?

    Lesson I've learned from BA

    many people want the beer from their state to be considered the best because they think they are somehow part of the success of the brewery because they live in that state.

    it's funny how beer drinkers take criticism personally yet the brewers don't give a sh*t.

    I don't think people want the beer from their state to be the best. They actually think think the beer from their state is the best. You are right though, I do not understand why people take it so personally. It is the same with other things too. Someone from Chicago will say that New York Style pizza is garbage and vise versa.

    I buy local a lot and Michigan has a lot of great beer, but if I can get my hands on something great or I want to try something from another state, I am going to get it.
