Craft Beer Geeks
Just read a great blog post on craft beer culture that I loved
http://craftbeersocial.com/craft-beer-culture-geeks-vs-snobs-via-sam-cal
And it reminded me of what a great time I had this weekend with the GALS from the Georgia Ale and Lager Sirens group. They were invited to brew a beer for the Sweetwater Cask Ale Fest and welcomed all GALS to join. They were so helpful in explaining every step of the brewing process for their ale to me (who knows very little about homebrewing, but is trying to learn the basics.) They were so much fun to hang out with trading leads on good beers to acquire, discussing what we all like, and sharing info on good festivals coming up.
It also reminded me of all the local Atlanta beer folks I've met over the past few weeks at events. Even retailers aren't withholding information about their likes/dislikes and plans for the future: they're sharing so we can all learn about the beer world. It's endeared Atlanta to me a lot more, and gotten me even more excited about craft beer!
This is what being a beer geek is all about. If you really love something, you want to share it with the world so we can all appreciate it, not withhold your knowledge only for yourself. After all, none of us can enjoy it alone.
