So I work in a emergency room in Boston MA. Im in school for nursing. I am 27 years old. Most people I work with if you asked them about me will tell you I like to make people laugh and smile as much as I can. In the line of work I and others are in you need someone like me where we work.
Its kinda late here on the east coast right now but I wanted to post this thread for awhile. The reason I put the topic as "Passion" is because most people I talk to at work ask me why I am working where I am and not working in a brewery or opening up my own place. I then tell them how hard it is and explain to them that I just love good beer and love brewing it.
People are funny. Most people I work with tell me that after talking to me for more then 20 mins they will want to grab a beer after work, even if they dont like beer I will make them want to go have one just because of the way I speak about it. People come to me all day long saying "Brian...what should I try out there besides Miller light and the rest..." I then try to explain my reasons why I drink different beers and brew them.
Bam...Pow....Bang...they are hooked. Sooo many people have no idea what taste is out there or what you can create in your own home. They start to ask me sooooooo many questions and thats when I send them here online and to Charlie's books.
I love talking about beer and brewing it as most of you do. The main reason I started this thread is that soooooo many people I know drink crap beer all the time because they dont understand what is out there for them to taste. Let me tell you this...I work with a guy from Puerto Rico, he likes light lager brews. I had him go out and try a few beers with me a few weeks back. The main brew was Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I explained to him how to drink it, taste it, enjoy it. He F'n fell in love. I told him about the history about microbrews, brewing and craft ale. Hahahahaha guy wants to brew with me in the next few weeks. Did not even know you could brew good beer at home.
The main point I am trying to make here is that the passion we all have is amazing on this website. I thank you all for bringing that out everyday that you post here. Every chance you get to talk about beer with people...DO IT!!! Most people will fall in love and want to talk more about it with you.
Wow I think this is the longest post I have ever typed here...Im going to bed.
