Like women, beer is lovely. Maybe even moreso, cause hangovers only last a day. This thread is the instruction manual for sharing our love of beer.
There are many ways to share your love of hopped beverages here on BeeRBeerU.com (that's how the Canadiens say it).
You can....Make a proper review and submit it to Surf, as Karrde has done.
Or you might....When you wake up the next morning, make a post in the Official Drunk Thread.
You oughta....When drunk, post in any thread you like. It's a time-honored tradition here.
And introducing.....Participate in the Bi-Curious About Beer thread. Yes, we are BABies, as we want to suck the golden nectar of brew from the luscious nipple of the draught. That's what this thread is aboot.
The Bi-Curious About Beer "featured beer of the week" organizing principles.
1. Every two weeks or so, ONE person picks a beer. And posts it in this thread.
2. During the ensuing two weeks, we all try to find and sample said beer.
3. After proper sampling, share your reactions here.
4. Your reactions can be formal beer reviews, like beer advocate, or other beer-review sites, or it can be plain. There are no rules other than sharing your honest reaction to brew - all forms of expression will be welcome from "wall of text" review to simple "DO NOT WANT AGAIN."
5. Don't overly diss on another's reaction. Again, like women, beer comes in all varieties, and there are plenty of different types to fit all of our pleasures. But, be open to people encouraging you to try new brews, cause, like women, all beers are lovely.
6. If you want to volunteer to be on the list those that pick a beer on a bi-monthly basis, send me a PM. Don't post it in this thread, I don't want it cluttered up. I'll post a list of volunteers so folks can see when they are coming up on rotation.
7. Karrde, who is the inspiration for this thread, and my humble self, will be the curators.
8. Don't piss on the carpet, man. It ties the room together.
9. If some people want to consistently find hard-to-find brews, they will soon be discovered. That doesn't mean they can't host...they can! it just means the more esoteric you pick, the less participation you are likely to have. I think the goal of this is to have fun, share new brews, and have fun. Not to show off your beer-penis or play stumper.
10. Good, dive-brews should not be discouraged. The other week I was feeling nostaligic, and kinda trashy, so I picked up Mickey's grenades for the first time in like 16 years. They were surprisingly better than I expected. We all need to be trashy, on occasion.
11. The folks who manage the front door, Surf, Caff, HEk and others, have full right to "promote" really good reviews to the BRBu blog. This thread will be fodder for them. By posting here you give them permission to copy-pasta your drunken ode to Milwaukee's Best over there.
12. Be Excellent To One Another.
