I know it can't be JUST ME that gets this crap...
I have been getting more and more involved in craft brewed beer; be it HB'd or Micro-Brewed, and as I accumulate knowledge and equipment, I mention to friends what I have been doing.
"...if you'd just take in the empty kegs for scrap metal, you'd have enough money to just BUY SOME BEER, HA, HA, HA!"
"...why are you whining about taking back cans....?"
"...I prefer my GOOD beer over THAT crap; why isn't Bud Light good enough for you...(eye-roll)"
It is SO obvious that many of my (current) friends are just plain too shallow and lazy to have a debate over what constitutes a good beer, or how to go about getting it. I'm done bringing it up, and done listening to their current endeavors.... I think I'll just start cutting them off, changing the subject they start to anything else, or just walking away.
I need more equipment and less 'good' friends.
There seems to be a whole set of life changes that goes along with HBing; not just the inventory of equipment and supplies and the actual brewing/finishing that one initially thinks of. It is all for the better...
