Seven Deadly Beer Sins

I said Judger - but not for the reasons that the OP stated. More because I judge beers way too much through sites and comments before giving them a try - when I really should!

 

I just thought of a good one.
We are all a little guilty of this, just based on the gendered pronoun usage of these posts (myself included).

"That Guy" who assumes women don't know anything about beer/don't like beer.

Can't think of how many times I hear a man either force a beer on to his gf/wife/whatever because "it is something you will like" or not going with something because "you won't like it." Well, won't know until you try. I also get a lot of questions for "a beer that 'girls' drink" - these sort of people generally never refer to women as "women". It also extends to how beer drinkers assume the woman who I work with doesn't know anything about beer because she is a woman (she knows a shit load more than me, but I get all the questions).

Anyway, misogyny/male privilege is probably more annoying to me personally than any of the 7 listed.

 

Ticker.

 

Is there a 'Tickers Anonymous'? Cause I need help...

 

Dear God...

 

I'd have to say I'm a ticker, but I "tick" much less then I did at this time last year. Maybe that's just because I've tried everything in the singles section of all the local stores... I try not to randomly buy bombers or 750mls like I would with a single 12oz.

 

Mule herder.

Regarding hipsters, they are making hasidic Jews fashionable again, at least in facial hair.

 

I wish I had someone to share with. I recently moved and made a couple of good solid friends, but they only like BMC. I porch bomb a friend who lives 1000 miles away with partial 6 packs of local stuff I enjoy.

》craft beer is all about.
》I'll take things people say that are rarely 》seen in the wild for $1000

 

Per my own definitions, I'd be partially a few of these:
Ticker - for sure, although I like what @fossage78 called it-explorer, because I don't need the next thing just because
Judger - to a degree, at least in the sense of trying to figure out (judge) what people like. I don't begrudge people for so behaving, but I can at least "judge" their palates aren't as open as others (that sounded bad, I meant as in when suggesting beers they might like to try).

... And as OP describes it, Hipster (Old Crumudgeon I like better, @MassiveBeerReviews), at least as far I'd like it if the google-definition "Hipsters" would "get off my lawn" when I'm trying to Hoard a beer I can Brag about!!

 

I think everybody is guilty of being a ticker. But the hipsters need to die. Kill them with bad beer.

 

... say the Judgers .

 

Counter-culture for sure, but given how mutable the topped ranked beers are and how many new great beers are showing up every day, I don't have to be grumpy very long.

 

That made me lol. I'm being honest though. I like sharing beers with others almost as much as I like drinking it myself. That's the way it should be imo

 

Can someone explain the counter-culture sin please?

 

Hahaha I do this entirely too often. It'll be the end of the night and a buddy and I will open up a beer I've been saving for a special occasion... Total waste

 

Mostly, I am a ticker. Second, I think I am a bit of a hoarder, but when compared to many other BA's, I'm not.

Last, I think I'm in the Counter Culture, but not as described. I believe I'm in the Counter Culture because I am a BA that will readily admit that Budweiser (or Busch Light) is my old faithful. After tasting and reviewing a few beers for my ticking habit, you will often here the familiar crack of a Bud can being opened. I will fully admit that after a couple of big beers, my palate and tolerance begs for something lighter and easier to drink.

 

A ticker - and it's getting worse. I used to not tick the average or bad ones.

 

You been looking in my fridge too ?!? Definitely a Ticker.

 

Unsure.

I hoard, but I drink (or trade) all I hoard, and I share almost everything I hoard when I drink it.

I tick and enjoy trying new beers, but I will have a favorite over something new pretty much every time unless the new beer is something I've really been wanting to try. Then I'll go back to my previous favorite.

 

I'm a Beer Advocate who's taking medicine for my hoardaticka disease. As you know @CraigTravor I share quite a bit. Like my kids cartoons say "Sharing is Caring".
