    You go to a bottle release and most of the people in line offer you help with your walker.

    You've been on BA since before you were legally able to drink.

    You ask yourself how many times you've seen threads on:

    "best lawnmower beer"
    "does (insert beer name) taste different this year?"
    "best (city, region, state) for beer"
    "your top five beers"
    "my beer (froze/got hot)---is it ruined?"
    "if you could only drink one beer"
    "top canned beers"
    "your go-to inexpensive beer"

    You admit in a reply to a thread that you recall drinking a certain beer in the 60s or 70s. I'm getting old, my friends. :slight_frown:

    You've been ranting on BA longer than most BA's have been legally able to drink, and have been into craft beer since they were in diapers. Lot of Millennials on here nowadays.

    Yeah, but at least that thread is fun. Nice informal kind of hang out thread IMHO.

    there were a few dozen interesting breweries to discuss and not a few hundred.
    there were a few hundred interesting beers to discuss and not a few thousand.
