What kind of brewer are you?

You left off "Country boy who builds what most people would buy"

I brew because I like the challenge of making for myself what most "hip" people are too lazy or inept to attempt.

I grow my own vegetables, I process my own meat, repair my own cars, house, motorcycles, appliances....so why not make my own beer?

 

Being a country boy, you likely have some facial hair going on so that would make you part grizzly.

Being that you grow / make your own stuff, you have a tendency to stray away from societal norms, making you part hipster.

Since you are capable of doing things that others typically don't take the time to research or learn, that would make you part nerd.

That would be a hip-grizzly-nerd

So "Other" would be appropriate.

 

Or "All of the above"? I can accept that. :rockin:

I do have a tendency to embrace each of those categories at one time or another.

(I actually did have a full beard up until a month ago when I got tired of hearing the wife complain...but I am usually clean shaven)

 

You lucky dog. My wife won't even let me grow one and If I try, all I hear is "your scruffy, save it off!"

 

It's only scruffy for a few days, then it gets soft and they like to run their fingers threw it. Fact

 

Iv'e never made it to the soft point.. It gets whacked before it reaches this length.

 

More like witty old aging hipster with bad joints turning into a couch potato?
Aging sucks after working too hard for too long.

 

I used to be scruffy, but I shaved and now I'm self conscious about it. Definitely more of that couch potato guy, though.

 

Grizzly here

 

Im more this kinda home brewer..

 

only if you want to become truly skilled

 

So the adage goes.. Which came first the skilled brewer or the beard?

 

A booger brewer eh?

 

I thought about shaving my beard once...
Then my carboy kicked me in the nuts...
True story

 

Hipster denial? It's ok, I think I'm might be one, too.

 

So far there are at least 3 people who have balls enough to admit to being at least part hipster.

 

I can't really grow facial hair, I most definitely do NOT wear Tom's shoes or lenseless glasses, I'm certainly witty, but only in my mid 30's, I may have 10-15 extra lbs, but I'm certainly no couch potato and while I consider myself a beer nerd (simply because I know quite a bit about it) I never dress in beer costumes.

I am an audio engineer with a passion for the hobby of brewing, I'm punk rock, I ride a motorcycle, I create chiptunes (8 bit music) and I love professional football. I guess you could say I'm closest to the beer nerd, but nowhere near 100% beer nerd.

 

Me too, as evidenced by my recent photo:

 

It's HipSTER not HipPIE!

 

Grizzly hipster. :cross:

 

I'm the witty old guy, but I'm 25...is there a witty young guy? Maybe that's just beer nerd. Kyle

 

Young people are never witty. They're just smart asses.

 

None of the above. You forgot sexy female brewer.

Though, I've read on the internet that because women can't grow beards, they can't be good brewers.

 

I would consider myself the grizzly old whitty hipster,I`m only 55.

Cheers

 

The brewpub near us had a woman brewer for about 6 years. She was the best of all the brewers that worked there, I wish she was still there, they've gone downhill since she left.
