Okay, okay, so I’ll admit that I’m a certified Beer Geek, and damn proud of it, thank you very much.  But while I revel in my geek-dom purely because I enjoy thinking, drinking, and talking about delicious brewed libations of (almost) every style, flavor, and form, I try to approach the subject of beer critiquing objectively and sensitively.  In sum, I try not to judge.  The only problem is, I do, rather frequently, find myself mid eye-roll at the predictability of certain beer drinkers I encounter on a regular basis.  As a server at a bar that happens to sport a rather impressive beer list, I can’t help it.  It’s just there in front of me every day.  I find myself biting my tongue as (almost always male) customers yank their beer out of my hand and insist on pouring it themselves, either because they are trying to save me the trouble, or more likely, because they do not think I have any business pouring their beer.

The Beer Baroness is 29 years old, has lived in Orlando since 2000, and currently resides in Maitland with her boyfriend, and her pet skunk Dillinger.  Her hobbies include, reading, writing, cooking, shopping, and imbibing the finest beverages the world has to offer.  The Beer Baroness chooses to go by an alias because that is what the Beer Baroness wants to do.  EWW!  Isn’t it creepy when people talk about themselves in third person?  No, really, I chose the name The Beer Baroness because, well, it’s fun.  And because it reminds me of the movie The Saddest Music in the World. If you love beer (and music), you should rent it now. Right now.  Okay, you can finish your beer first.
