As part of my personal #grownostr series to talk about my interests, tonight's topic is beer for all of my #beerstr fans out there.

I'm kind of a beer snob. I will mostly only drink craft beer, beers that I've never heard of or had before. I don't like all of the basic domestic beer at all. I'm not a poor college student. I don't need to drink something that's cheap and tastes like water or something that's cheap and tastes like skunk piss.

I love to visit microbreweries with my friends and family. I love to go on microbrewery tours with friends and family, visiting multiples of them over the course of a day or a weekend. I love to get flights of different beers and really dig into the style and flavor. I probably spend a bit too much time trying to pinpoint all of the hops or ingredients 😆 Anyways, the beer is great, but also I love the social experience too. I love conversing with people, I love taking in the different atmospheres. It fits my personality well.

I don't like IPAs. I will drink them to try them, because I like to try all of the beers, but I haven't found one that I said to myself "Wow, I need to come back here and get this IPA for a second time." That just doesn't happen with IPAs for me.

I am a dark, dank beer fan. I love all styles of stouts, from coffee stouts, to milk stouts, to irish, to American, to bourbon barrel aged stouts. I'm also a fan of Belgian dubbles and Belgian tripels. My go to will always be a darker beer of varying styles, but this can change due to the season.

Oktoberfest is one of my most favorite times of year. I'm a real snob here. I won't stray too far from the traditional German style Marzen or Festbier. I've never been to Munich, but I've always wanted to go. I actually had my flight and hotel for the 2020 Oktoberfest, but COVID-19 took that away. Oh well. I've been to dozens of local events over the past few years though. I love to dress up for these events too.

During the summer on our boat, I drink a lot of sours and hefes. These styles of beers during the hot summer days work best. I don't want to drink a heavy dark beer in the hot summer, while on the water. I'll take a lighter beer here, but I still need something with flavor. I'm not going to drink Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, etc. Now, that doesn't mean that I haven't drank them while I'm on the water. I won't turn down a free beer from a fellow lake friend.

I've never brewed my own beer, but it's something that I've wanted to do for many, many years.

I look forward to having a beer with you at our next Nostr event :)

My $1.18 buy is now worth $1.23
