re: Wanted to get into beer, recommend anything

Actually enjoying the beer is secondary. Find a small craft brew that people seem to be talking about, locate a retailer and buy up as much as you can. Post pics but never tell anyone where to find it. After a week, complain about how the flavor profile sucks since the beer isn't fresh and they are now shelf turds.

When a new batch comes out, repeat the process, except be hyper critical about how this batch isn't as good as the last one and that its just not the same now that the brewery is trying to make more product to meet demand.
