Poll: How hardcore into beer are you?

i said 7. my wife would probably say 27!

 

I am around an 8. I definitely make beer stops a priority and do travel just for beer occasionally. I'm also saving up to be able to go to the gabf for my college graduation present to myself.

 

I'm a 10 compared to my friends but a 1 compared to some of my fellow BAs.

 

7

 

I went 9. Apparently nobody else wants to think they're a 10 either.

 

I said 10. My drinking schedule is fairly well planned, down to what beers I'll be drinking in each day and in a given week/month (rarely do I drink a beer by chance or accident outside of bottleshares). Add to that I have a well maintained list (in my head) of beers I'll actually purchase / trade for, you can say I take beer very seriously.

 

Out of my ~1800, I had 4 make the all 5's category and only 50ish that are better then a 4.5. My bar is set really high, and I'm proud of that.

 

I went with 7. I do some occasional trading and and do 1-2 500+ mile road trips for beer every year. And lord knows I spend enough money on the cursed stuff.

 

I did 7 as an aggregate of my general BA enthusiasm & my actual need to consume alcohol.

I'm a 1since all I do is enjoy beer.

 

Compared to non craft beer drinkers we are all 10s.

 

I put 5. New to the game. Always enjoyed a variety of beer, but still new to the "Beer Nut" thing.

 

Looks like I'm a 1. I've grown up with beer. Visit beer specific sites while traveling and spend far too much money on beer, but for all that I remember it's beer. It's one thing that enhances life, folks, not life in and of itself.

 

solid 8. I work in a beer bar and take frequent trips to new breweries, but i'm not above above sneaking a tall boy of pbr into a movie theater once in a while.

 

Went with 7, because like a lot of BAs, I have two comparison points: regular people and other BAs (not trying to say we aren't normal, but when it comes to beer...).

Points for: number of beer festivals, craft beer restaurants, breweries/brewpubs, travel for beer, $/time on beer, and I am a home brewer (currently non-practicing, though )
Points against: limited trades, limited cellar, limited whale hunting (now).
Neutral: sharing beer-something I am enjoying doing more and more with friends and co-workers, but there are some really generous BAs out there.

 

I love damned good beer and have for quite a while. I would call myself a beer knucklehead before I would call myself "hardcore". I never preach, except for Sundays and during the week!
