I think both of these describe the 2 most common types of beer drinkers.
There is also the beer drinker who only drinks one brand and dismisses all others as crap (most Bud Light drinkers will only trade up to Corona... statistical fact).
There is also the beer drinker who prides him or herself on experiencing as many different brews as he or she can get his or her hands on. This is the category I see myself fitting into. I don't necessarily like the term "connoisseur," or even "beer-geek." Rather, I consider myself a Beer Advocate (thanks to Jason and Todd Alstrom for the terminology). I live beer.
I've only visited about 3 dozen breweries and brewpubs, but I've tried upwards of 500 different beers (probably more, but it's hard to keep count after a while). I appreciate all aspects of beer: history, brewing process, appearance, aroma, flavor, food pairing, etc.
This is a lifelong dedication for many... myself included.
So, a beer drinker is someone who likes beer. The best way to divide it into 2 types is the following:
1) those who are stuck to one beer, are stubborn about trying new things, and don't truly appreciate beer
2) those who appreciate and are advocates for beer in all its different forms.
Cheers.
Probably the second.. I know that personally I will drink beer but only to get a slow, constant buzz going. Also I would not consider myself a true beer drinker simply because I only drink lagers most of the time and would take spirits over beer any day
Gee. I didn't realize being a beer drinker was so complicated.
I thought all you had to do was drink beer to be a beer drinker.
However, given your two examples, I suspect a real "beer drinker" would fall under category 2.
Just like a real "wine" drinker usually thrives on exploring different wines but usually has a favorite.
Or 3. Someone for whom the taste of any beer excites the palate, and they wait in anxious anticipation for any chance to sample the grog.
Okay, that's cheating...I actually like answer number 1, but that's because I primarily like an Irish Red (Killians, Smithwick, Murphy's, and Samuel Adams just released and Irish Red) but I love to go to beer tastings and try out other brews. If you're really interested in over-analyzing it though, Borders has a book called Beer And Philosophy...it sounds like a book you'd like!
both
I think a connoisseur is going to have favorites but always be on the lookout for new ones. At least that describes me! Also, I have different favorites for different weather, food, moods, etc.
2 I′m a beer drinker. I have tried over 65 different beers but my favorites are 2 or 3
No, Truthfully an Alcoholic is an Alcoholic, Yes? They like all more than others don't they? What's your preference seeing how your a Professional on this subject, Yes?
i like one kind of beer (yuengling), but i do try other kinds of beer too.. so idk it all depends on your interpretation
