Life is Tough, Stupid makes it Tougher
You all sound like the voices in my head!
I hope this is sarcasm? The difference is that a psychopath is based on inherent phenomenon, whereas a sociopath is a product environmental circumstances. A psychopath cannot feel emotional attachment to others in general, but a sociopath can feel attachment to those close to them, yet still have a great disregard to strangers or the rest of society. Also, both would generally be concluded bad, mean or evil to most of the societies in the world.There is NO difference between a psychopath and a sociopath.
And being one does not mean you are a bad, mean, or evil person!
All this aside (and in lieu of a potential troll) they will probably welcome you with open arms, as brewers are typically an extremely friendly bunch... but also most certainly talk about you and take your advice lightly.
The great part is that you won't be confused with the types of people that show up to brew clubs just to drink for free. In fact if you bring your own, you can get nearly expert feedback and everyone will love you!
Lastly, The more you drink the more you get used to drinking and the flavor of alcohol. I had a similar situation where I BARELY (5 or so times) drank anything until I was 26. I started with bud light, moved on to craft beers, and now (at 33) I flat-out will not buy, or plan to brew, anything less than 6% ABV. I think it's just a matter of developing your palette. Now I love beers with flavor.
Anyway, good luck man.
The example of "a hunter who doesn't eat the meat" was offered up as analogous to "a brewer who doesn't drink beer." The difference is that no innocent animals have to die in the brewing of beer.
Well, unless you count hundreds of billions of yeast cells.
I took offense at the portrayal of those who don't like meat but simply "enjoy" killing things (they dress it up with nicer words, such as "sport") as "normal," and instead pointed out that such people are in fact deviant psychopaths.
You're missing out on a hell of a lot of really good beer.
You mean nitrates? ;-)
i am trying to think of a polite way to say this, but i really can't so i won't. i love people that think meat comes from the store and if they are awake enough to know that it is a dead animal, then they just pi$$ sitting down for not having the church bells to do the dirty work....
Honestly this entire thing could be solved if the OP just swished and spit in an attempt to taste BUT NOT DRINK the beers he makes. I see no other logical solution. Alcohol is not going to be absorbed from under your tongue like beta blockers.

I'm cheap and prefer one or two meaty beers that I have to slaughter instead of drinking twice as many cheeseburger beers.You're missing out on a hell of a lot of really good beer.

BrewerBear said:Maybe he don't drink pop either.
Homercidal said:I don't think anybody got a reasonable analogy for this situation.
The OP loves to brew beer for other people. He uses their feedback to brew beers that they enjoy.
Is there something wrong with that? He loves the process. He loves to make them happy.
Why should any one of you others give a rats ass if wants to drink any of it or not? He wasn't asking whether he should or not, yet many replies felt compelled to try to talk him into it.
He wanted to know how most other brewers felt about his unique practices and he got his money worth and then some.
Frankly, I don't understand why he wouldn't want to at least TASTE his beer, but most here are very intolerant of someone who does something different from them and affects them in no way. Instead of just saying I don't get it and good luck with that, you probably scared him from hanging out here continuing to learn how to make the other people in his like happy with his beer.
Shame on you all.
Not be a jerk, but right now I sort of wish there was a dislike button. Why bump this without adding anything?
