    I stopped keeping track after 21. I'm older than I once was, but younger than I'll be.

    26 here...drinkin craft beer primarily since 22 or 23. Was little too poor in college to make a habit of it but since 22 or 23 it has been my primary choice of beverage and my growing beer gut is proof of that!

    24, been drinking Craft for one year. Literally changed my life. Have had the pleasure of drinking 400-500 unique beers this year, can't wait to keep going!

    Just turned 22; around 250 different beers in my first year as a beer geek. Go hard or go home.

    22 here. Started drinking craft beers at 20 in England when I was researching beers I found at the store and found BA. It grew from there and now I've had around 700 different beers. I want to start homebrewing soon when circumstances better allow it. Many of my friends like the BMC things but I've gotten others (including my brother) into craft beer.

    22 here and graduating in May. 170ish reviews in and I started drinking the gateways towards the end of high school. I still drink a lot of BMC on weekends though.

    I'm 21. Got into craft right after turning 21. Kinda have been going nuts since then. Trading and buying all sorts of stuff. According to the site, I have 198 beers had or reviewed with 4 months to go til I'm 22. Probably spending more than I should be ha.

    I find the number of people who started drinking craft at 21 somewhat bewildering. Did you really wait until then? Really??

    My first craft beer was SNPA at 18, and I hated it. That's no longer the case. I'm currently 24. My guess is most BA's are <30.

    I just turned 21 last year, turning 22 next month. 4th year student and getting my bachelor's degree in June. I actually didn't really get into beer until late 2011, and I'm spending way too much on beer now.

    I think the first full beer I ever had was a Magic Hat at 17 or 18.

    I drank craft + macro nonsense for a while, it was a slow wean off the macro and fully into craft.

    25 and counting. Didn't really drink much BMC ever, and the first beer I ever really enjoyed was a Lindemann's Framboise (I know). Really started getting into trading and everything last year around this time. Have always been interested in trying new beers since turning 21.

    26 here. I do sometimes feel like I'm on the younger side, but I suspect there are a ton of young BAs out there.

    I'm 21... In craft beer years. As a freshman in college, I had a neighbor who introduced me to craft beer (Old No. 38 stout, Sheaf Stout and Affligem Dubbel). Haven't looked back since.

    Well I didn't really drink at all until about 6 months before my 21st...
