yeah there is that. more of my wife’s family live in that area than montana, but way less populated in montana.
If you want to live in illinois move to vancouver, id chose eastern Montana.
Overly complicated beers. Yaaah… this is my double dark chocolate mocha raspberry vanilla bourbon oaked imperial brown ale… I won a ribbon at a charity event entered in the 23 Specialty beer category… my girlfriend loves it.
OK that too. Very funny. We all have met that guy.
bought property in dillon montana. next door to my sister/brother in law. about an hour out of butte. just not sure if making the move there. vancouver i am sure would be similar to here in illinois, but at least family there also and no income tax. will be deciding in next few months
My big one is people that are into the “craft beer scene” and spend a whole lot of time worrying about what other people drink and bagging on them for it. Why should I care if someone wants to drink a light lager? Same people usually spend way to much time bragging about the beer collection too.
In homebrewing drives me nuts when people insist that their way of brewing is the only way to make great beer (you can only use glass or fly sparge etc). As a wise man once said… “There are many ways to the top of the mountain.”
+1
Hear hear!
or that brewery. I can name 2 off the top of my head.
while I love the craft beer movement, am getting tired of the scene nowadays. that disaster at hunaphu day, in my opinion, is a microcosm of what’s kind of getting out of hand.
Whooping and yelling when some drunkard drops his glass after drinking his 20th sample of “whatever has the most alcohol” at a beer festival.
Make that $50 all you can drink beer festivals period. I am way more inclined to attend a tap takeover or pint night over $50 day drinking.
+1 to all the pretentious BS in craft beer. The breweries (and their beers) don’t need to be elitist - just be good or better and worth the $$ charged. And +1 to the stupid all you can drink festivals. I gave those up years ago. It’s not even about quality for most of the guys - it’s a glorified frat party with pretzel necklaces.
I fixing the beer world one mind at a time. 
Thank you kind sir!
My pet peeve is people complaining on the Internet ;D
Pet peeves? I think some of you guys are peeve hoarders!
Another one for me is when the bagger at a grocery store or target uses way more bags than necessary. Like only one item per bag. Bagging the gallon of milk. Etc. I think this excessive use of bags is what led so many cities around here to put in plastic bag bans in place. If they used a reasonable number of bags we wouldn’t have needed the ban.
Ok, one more. Suffixes peeve me. Like the difference between ed and ive. As in “I’m sexually atractED to Pink.” Vs “I’m sexually atravtIVE to Pink.” That makes such a huge difference.
How’s this related to beer, you ask? Figure it out.
Also peeved by people under the age of 60 who don’t know who Pink is.
My pet peeves are my biggest pet peeve. I’m annoyed by stupid bs and it annoys me that I’m annoyed by stupid bs.
Romans 7, the Theoman version
I find the misuse of the descriptor “Belgium” irritating, as in Belgium Dark Strong Ale or Belgium Blonde.
But I guess it’s no worse than Indian Pale Ale. 
I find homebrewers who come into a brewery and think they know more about brewing beer than the head brewer extremely annoying and far too common.
