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 :)

I’m doing Oktoberfest this year 🍻 my first and probably my last I love doing new things and very rarely do anything like that twice. There’s so much to see and do, so many nice conversations to be had over a new pint - If I had to choose I’d be plumbed into a dark chocolate strong beer. I’ll go with the flow and get my kicks from the memories that come with sharing a brew with new friends and an upsampled glass or two of what the locals recommend.

If I liked you before, after this note I like it even more! The Oktoberfest event is one of the events that in the past I was always present, in the mountainous region of the city here in Rio de Janeiro - Petrópolis. I also like to enjoy a good beer, but I’m not as sharp as you are! As well as, I like to enjoy a good whiskey! Thank you for sharing this with all of us. I really wish I could socialize with you, in a glass of beer - give you a Brazilian hug!

If you ever get to Germany try to get a hold of some of these. Not sweet but super tasty. What is your take on pale ales? IPAs introduced me to craft beer just by their pure extravagance and contrast to Beer Inc. but by now I really prefer the more rounded nature of a malty pale ale. (Similar to how peat/sherry monsters sparked my interest into single malts, while I now prefer high quality all-rounders) https://m.primal.net/JquA.jpg
