Where are you with craft beer?

I drink craft beer and visit breweries often, but have no interest in releases or trading.

 

I chose other because I drink macro's on occasion. But most drink craft beer and casually trade.

Up to my eyeballs in it... & loving every minute of it!!

 

Er, I drink alcohol.
The good stuff, of course as it tastes better and/or hurts less.
I've been selective since the late 1970s.

 

Had to go with "Other". I don't drink a lot but when I do I prefer craft beer, mainly IPA's (sounds like a lame meme). Many of my friends are not into craft beers, more the wine and spirits group, and they keep some BMC stuff or a popular regional lager around for beer drinkers. I'm not above opening a bottle of wine on occasion and certainly wouldn't turn down a good rum and coke or margarita when the occasion calls for it but when I buy beer for my own consumption I go for craft. To be honest, I do stock a few cans or bottles of mainstream beers for less adventurous guests but always offer "the good stuff" if they dare to step off the path.

 

I guess I am an exclusivist! Have not drank a BMC product since 2006 and never intend to again. My idea of switch hitting is drinking Lagunitas Born Yesterday instead of Stone Enjoy By. But I always liked being different so cheers to us wonderful few!

 

I still enjoy a good bottle of wine with dinner, and occasionally a glass or two without a meal, but when it comes to beer (which it usually does), I'm craft all the way.

 

I guess you could say that I'm a noob, specially if you compare me to other BA users here. I do mostly drink craft, though.

 

I voted "other" because:

75% American craft
10% American adjunct lager (Busch, Hamms, Old Mil)
6.5% Euro (Guinness, Murphy's, etc.)
8.5% Mexican lagers

I'll apologize for nothing. Every beer has a time and place for me. I will apologize for my percentages, it's only an estimate.

 

Well, not of your options describe accurately.
I have been drinking micro/craft for about 20 years. I also like the occasional glass of wine, scotch, etc
I am enjoying all of the options lately, but I will admit some things are getting tiresome, like excessively intentional limited releases, out of control marketing gimmicks.
I still like attending the occasional release or event but some people have lost sight and I think they are in it more for the chase

 

I went with splitting between craft beer and spirits, because it was closest to splitting between beer, wine, and spirits. Balance is key

I do like the exclusively term though, I do not drink domestic unless social niceties require. Life is to short for bad beer, cheap wine, and crappy cocktails.

 

I also went with splitting time between beer and spirits. I've never been an only beer or only spirits guy. I enjoy craft beer, bourbon and red wine. I always keep some of each in my home. Gotta be prepared. The kind of day I've had or mood I'm in dictates the type of booze I finish the day with.

 

I split between beer and wine with a bit a spirits sprinkled in. Been pretty beer heavy the last 8 months or so though.
