You Know You're a Beer Geek When...

Monday August 27, 2007

Copied from the MySpace of The Liar's Club, one of San Diego's premiere beer bars.

1. You are at someone's house, and all they have is Bud Light - you opt for water.
2. You spend up to 5 minutes looking for the alchohol content on the bottle before taking a sip
3. a girl invites you home from the bar and before making a decision, you ask her what kind of beer she has. Or, someone calls you an arrogant bastard and you think that you've been offered a beer.
4. You go to the grocery or liquor store and spend over 10 minutes looking at all the beer, then leave without getting anything and drive to another location.

5. if it doesn't have "ambachtelijk bier driemaal gegist" on the label-you won't drink it.
6. if the beer you are drinking doesn't end in "tion" or wasn't made by "The Vinnie", you feel it's it's like sleeping with an English girl-- sure it's sex, but not that special!
7. It takes you five minutes to order a beer because you must know EVERYTHING that a bar serves
8. You own a company that prints for breweries and you won't do work for them if you don't like their beer.
9. When your 3 bedroom apartment has one full room for solely for beer storage. And when you have to come to an agreement about space in the fridge for food.
10. When your wife actually picks a fight with you to drink more beer. (Mostly to gain control of the fridge.)
11. You want to get drunk but can't because you don't have the proper glass for that new Belgian beer.
12. All the lighting in your house consists of Micro/Craft Breweries swag... and your neighbors tell you that holiday season has been over for months now.
13. You drive hundreds of miles and spend hundreds of dollars on gas just to get "that special keg" for your bar.
14. You bring 5 cases of Riverfront back from Milwaukee in an already packed 8 passenger tour van that has 9 people and 2 bands worth of gear all for free just because the 'brewery tour guide' likes the bar you work at.GOOD TIMES!!
15. you won't patronize bars that don't serve local beer. Or if you refer to Vincent Cilurzo as "The Vinnie".
16. You travel all the way from Melbourne to San Diego just to get a decent pint......
17. you see someone with a Corona and you tell them,"If I was on fire, I wouldn't want you to pour that on me.
