Wheres all the young BAs at?

Had a 312 on my 21st, thot it was way to strong of a beer taste lol now I'm hooked on Craft

 

24, drinking the mainstream craft since 20. Got serious around 22 with a Hopslam now I'm at the plight of my obsession.

 

19, started getting into proper beer a year ago. Wieckse Witte, Belgian Abbey Ales and Paulaner Hefeweissbier got me off lagers for good.

 

I'm a man, I'm 40!!

 

25, please tell me that's still young. I've topped 1300 beers in four years. Gotta keep ticking.

 

One of the greatest post game quotes ever!

 

that is a model for success young man

 

What exactly qualifies as young?

I'm 27 and I've been drinking craft beer since I was 22. Took a whole year before my eyes finally opened.

 

great to see who's part of the "younger" crowd. i'm not quite 25, and have been drinking craft beer and homebrewing since, well, I'll plead the 5th.

 

u jelly?

I'm almost 36 and can lift 100 lbs right over my head

 

I'm 25 and have been really into craft beer for at least 4 years. Us young BAs are here!

 

Well, 21 years old if you divide my age by 2.44

Been in the beer biz for 19+ years, BA for 9+ and would never end a thread title with a preposition...

Bottom line...age is a number, not a sentence!

 

29, with the dirty thirty coming in August.

My journey with craft beer is rather unusual. I first started drinking the sort of intro crafts when I was 18. I'd get SNPA, Newcastle, Sam Adams, or even the odd sixer of Deschuttes Black Butte Porter or 12-pack of Spaten Optimator. Only time I'd drink the yellow swill was playing beer pong in college or at a ballpark.

Sometime around 24, I ended up switching to red wine as my go to beverage. Became a member of several wine clubs, did wine tasting trips, etc. A little under a year ago, I started developing early ulcer symptoms because all the tannins in the wines were effecting my stomach. Doctor recommended cutting back on drinking (it's not like I was getting tanked every night, I'd just have a glass or two of wine), I listened to his advice, but decided maybe I'd try switching back to beer first. It worked.

In switching back to beer, I found myself having a more discerning palate that was shaped by my wine sensibilities. I ended up discovering BA and started exposing myself to better offerings within styles that I had already liked (was a stout fan, but hadn't had all the wonderful variations available) as well as trying out styles that I had only had a few of before my wine-loving days. I still have red wine on hand at all times and can drink a glass of that a couple times a week, but I've found craft beer to be my go to and to suit my tastes even more than wine these days.

 

23, love beer.

 

23 year old here.

My 23rd birthday was on the same day as the Three Floyds XV Anniversary. It was awesome

 

27 here, started at 23/24. I remember my first Gumballhead... I hated it.

It's been a great trip coming to appreciate all of the amazing beer styles and qualities out there with no end in sight!

 

I'm a veteran young guy.

 

26 here as well!

 

I'm 28 and have been drinking craft beer since I was 22. Been on Beeradvocate for almost 6 years. Craft beer was one of the best decisions of my life.
