You Know You're A Dedicated Homebrewer When...

5. When someone offers you a can or bottle of standard package beer and you politely refuse to drink it..... then have to explain carefully to your friends why unpasteurised beer tastes better.....

Yeh and when sales reps want a freebie for one of their good customers and say "I'll get him to drop off a couple of cartons of VB for your trouble" Umm NO THANKS.

I had a massive argument with a rep over this. Told him we wanted something else. He said "Im not asking him to drive all over the city to buy fancy craft beer." All we wanted was LCPA or JSPA which can be brought at Dans anyway. he refused to budge so we refused to give his customer the freebie. Bloody sales reps.

Or you look at the whiteboard and then realise that you have just spent the last hour explaining how a herms system works only to hear an apprentice say "now ask him about his kegs and that should get us through to lunch" :lol: .

 

[geneabovill]

... when you spend your super important work phone calls half listening while redesigning your shed (on paper) to make your brewing more efficient.

 

[mikec]

You take a short trip to Tassie, and only pack two shirts and a change of underwear, so that you can bring home a suitcase full of craft beer/cider.
