Beer Etiquette Tips
Fellow beer blogger David posted a great list of Beer Etiquette Tips over at Musings Over a Pint. These are tips for us craft beer drinkers to remember when we deal with the rest of the beer public. A few gems to comment on:
- People are entitled to their own opinions about beer - This one is very true and so easy to forget. Don't force a beer on someone - what's good to you may not be good to the next guy.
- Never order "a beer," - order by style, by variety, or by specific name - I can honestly say I haven't been guilty of this in a long time. Might be a good idea if you see a friend order a "beer" to offer up some friendly advice.
- If you get a frosted mug or glass, politely ask your server if they have any non-frosted glassware - I'm bad about not making waves, but I've got to remember that I'm paying $5 or so for a beer here and I want to enjoy it correctly. I'm going to do better with this!
- Be grateful for the variety of beer that is out there... you are living in the best beer time in history. - Amen. We really are in a great time. You don't have to go back very far - within our generation - and you wouldn't find a lot of variety in the beer selection, especially at restaurants. It's a good time to be into beer.
Thanks David! For those who don't keep up with him regularly, you're missing out - check out his site at Musings Over a Pint.

Amen is right! I'm not even that old and I can remember the very limited selection available in restaurants and even local liquor stores. Its a good time to be into beer, and I think its only going to get better!
