Fear not, brave soul. There are worse things to passionately “geek out” over. Just imagine how loyal a beer geek is if they’re committed this strongly to craft beer.

- Don’t pretend to know or have more interest in craft beer than you do for our sake. We see right through that act. We’ll convert you soon enough, don’t you worry your pretty little wine drinking head about it. Besides, you’re much more attractive if you’re ordering a craft beer you’ve never had and will share a sip of rather than a fizzy, yellow, macrobrew.
- Brewery shirts are always acceptable fashion staples. They help us identify other beer geeks, start conversations, and hopefully get better service avoiding the unwanted advice and elementary explanations of beer menus by bartenders and servers whom we are yet to know on a first name basis. Show up in a cool, obscure shirt for bonus points.
- Bear with the obsession. When we visit an establishment with a craft beer menu, we’ll read, re-read, and obsess over every beer on the list for a good 5 minutes before ordering.
- Deal with the documentation. We will photograph the beer we finally order and set up ideal photographic composition, lighting, coasters, and menus. This can take a while.
- Deal with the distribution of said documentation. We share and check in all over social media, including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Untappd… 2ND beer…CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THE TIPS AT TUCSON FOODIE
