BREAKING NEWS: US - Mountain region thread count in bottom third on BA

To be honest, I know more beer people on Twitter than I do here. I think a lot of the Denver area Twitter beer peeps avoid BA for one reason or another...

 

more beer = less computer time... who wants to spend an evening drinking great beer and playing on the internet? i use this to fill dead space during the work days.

 

I'd have to agree with the above two posters and say that it is essentially #2 and #4. I was a much more active trader before moving out here and find it a lot more pleasant to go directly to one of the four or five microbreweries near me for a pint now.

 

c'mon, all of the "Im coming to Colorado, where should I go?" threads dont do it for you?

 

guyforget is right. I feel like BA is 50% travel guide. I'm starting to see "I'm coming in to GABF. Where should I stay?"

I need to take our region back.

 

There's a little bit of disconnect in our region geographically. That's probably part of it.
We're kind of divided up into "Denver, Montana/Idaho, W. Colorado/E. Utah, Las Vegas, and SLC" sub groups. While there's some, there isn't a ton of interaction between those distinct sub-areas.

 

Population, geo-distance, and there's good beer/beer places around Denver (the most densely populated zone in MT forum?) that we're just out there drinking. Which is where I'm heading....

 

#1 & #4, and I'd add another:

We're more into the beer (and drinking it) and less into the clout (hey look at my stash!). Denver's a chill atmosphere and it's just part of our culture.

 

Having moved here from the East coast, I have to say there is some truth to this statement, and a welcome change for me in regards to people I've met.

 

Yea, wasn't necessarily implying that

I don't think this will show correctly but we're somewhere in the middle based on population for post counts

 

I live in Utah, don't blame me,

Cheers!

 

I know this time of year I'm too busy enjoying the outdoors with beer than sitting in front of a computer drinking a beer wishing it were another beer. Maybe if the other regions hadn't rendered their outdoors crowded and overcommercialized and generally ruined, they'd spend more time being outdoors too.

Missoula has a huge craft scene and there are about three of us that spend any time at all on BA.

 

Just wait until the festival season is upon us...we'll jump up near the top again.
