Of Beer and Checkers
From the memorable quotes department:
One day, several years ago, John and I were discussing beer. Here in Seattle, there are almost as many micro-breweries as there are coffee shops (they go hand in hand, right?), and John had really taken to studying and enjoying the different varieties.
At one point, he took a drink and said, “You know, Rob. Being a beer connoisseur is sorta like ... being a grandmaster of checkers.”
It’s one of my favorite quotes - observant, eloquent, and witty. It came to me last night as we were discussing beer at a wine tasting.
