True story. When in college I and a few underage friends were a a bar commenting on the difference in beers.

The bartender laughed heartily and said something like, “You idiots! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BEERS! I can set 4 different beers of your choice in front of you for free and I GUARANTEE YOU CANNOT TELL WHICH IS WHICH!

He did just that. And sure ‘nuf - none of us could tell one from another!

I’ll never forget that!

Nice. College was where I learned to drink good beer...there was a little drive across from
the engineering buildings that I spent a considerable amount of time in when not in the
labs. They had a lot of Belgian, German, and UK beers on tap served at cellar temperature.
This was just before the craft brewing industry took off, so we had nothing like those styles
made in the US...all part of my University education.
