    Did you find it? I hope this turns into a success story where another polite BA turned it in.

    If you get excited when you see a cardboard box that is taller then it is wide at work and immediately empty its contents to take it home.

    If before going on a trip, you ask your friends what beer they want you to bring back and get excited about those as much as about those you will get for yourself.

    You might be a BA if - Your wife tells you that you don't have to dress up, just put on a nicer tshirt but all the tshirts you own are from Breweries.

    My wife actually has a brewery shirt that she likes best, and WANTS me to wear out (sometimes). :rolling_eyes:

    My wife likes my brewery shirts as well, just makes for a conundrum when going to a non-drinking based event. When everyone else is wearing plain tshirts or polos and you walk in wearing a shirt from Engine 15 that says "Life's too short to drink crappy beer," it kinda sticks out lol

    If you actually tell someone it is ok not to like Ipa's and then pay to let them try a lager or an Irish ale(what to them that might be lighter in taste.Cheers

    You are upset at your waiter, not for overcharging you, but moreso for charging a Budweiser to your tab when all you drank all night was Sierra Nevada. Happened to me Wednesday night. Wouldn't have thought twice had he just charged an extra Torpedo.

    When beer geeks sidle up to you in the beer aisle to wax poetic about barrel aging and all you want to do is push a bomber through their nasal cavity

    all of your friends ask you what new beers they should be on the lookout for and/or drinking.

    you're asked what craft beers are to be sought out when traveling to (insert city here) next week on business.

    whenever possible, you enjoy every beer in the most appropriate glass and have pictures of every one you have in the house for insurance purposes.

    Recent events:

    1) You go to the grocery store for bread, cheese, and milk, but can't resist walking past the beer aisle to check.
    (I have no idea what I'm expecting to find; like maybe a PtE delivery somehow ended up on the east coast? Still check every time.)

    2) Within 5 minutes of browsing the local shop, the clerk asks, "You looking for (X)?" .....and he's spot on.
    (This happened to me two weeks ago with Lunch. I had been browsing the aisles, and that's what he called out. I could only chuckle and admit, "Yes.")

    3) You have a weekly budget specifically for beer expenditures.
    3a) You never, ever stick to that budget.
    (Friend of mine; I'm smart enough to not even bother with a beer budget :wink:.)
