This got posted to my homebrew club mailing list. Like much of beer culture, it's geared towards men, specifically middle-aged, middle-class men with families, houses, and presumably, wives who don't like beer. Feh. Not being a hardcore homebrewer -- in fact, I haven't brewed in months, because I never have 4 free hours anymore -- I'm only guilty of a few of them:
If the local brew supply store knows who you are by voice alone.
(Probably, but I'm one of few chicks who regularly show up to meetings, so...)
If the majority of your shirts are brewing or beer related.
(Haven't counted, but probably)
If everytime you are in the grocery store you look at the beer selection
even thought you have 10 gallons of beer ready to drink at home.
If you live in a small one bedroom apartment, and you have two
refrigerators.
If you see the acronym R.D.W.H.A.H.B. and know what it means.
(Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew...)
If you have used a bottle opener on a twist-off cap.
If you plan your family vacations by which breweries you can visit.
(Driving from Boston to LA, we took the northern route to ensure we could drink Oregon)
If you don't think that 10 gallons of beer is a lot.
