thebeergeek Lifestyle
Intrigued by thebeergeek lifestyle? Here is what it entails...
Name dog, child or other pet with a beer-related name.
Wardrobe includes a multitude of beer t-shirts, hats, sweatshirts, etc.
Have a beer fridge or at least a whole shelf dedicated to beer.
Have a beer glass or other beer memorabilia collection prominently displayed in your house.
Only drink beer. No wine or hard liquour.
Avoid pubs, restaurants, and other eating establishments that have a crappy beer selection (no matter how good the food).
Abstain from drinking at events or functions rather than drinking crappy beer.
Seek out beer festivals.
Willing to travel far and wide in search of the perfect pint.
Anxiously await the arrival of Sierra Nevada Celebration and Anchor Christmas.
Anxiously await the arrival of this month’s issue of the Celebrator or other trade magazine.
Gleefully shame your friends, family and acquaintances who drink crappy beer.
Get a holy feeling each time you convert a bad beer drinker to the religion of quality craft brews.
Sufficiently bugged by pretentious wine people who think beer drinkers are heathens.
Sufficiently bugged by pretentious beer people who drone on and on about beer styles and the intricacies of their latest homebrew.
We really do all these things... call us thebeergeeks...
