Thread: Things every man should know how to do.

Aside from brewing, I think it is important for a man to be able to tell good beer from bad beer. I have no doubt that most of the guys here can, but it is almost disgusting how often you see guys buying sub-par brew. Makes me want to cry.

In addition, a man should know when to fight and when to hold back.

A man should be able to provide for his family.

A man should be responsible for his mistakes.

A man should know when to speak and when to keep quiet.

A man should know how to do at least basic automotive repair (or figure it out).

A man should know how to appreciate the finer things in life, but also do without them.

A man should be able to cook anywhere.

A man should have a good understanding of tools.

A man should be able to protect and stand up for those he loves.

A man should know how to be gentle and kind.

A man should not shy away from a good days labor (dig a ditch every now and again).

And last but not least, a man should know the true meaning of respect, and be prepared to earn it.

*run for an hour non-stop;
*know which direction to turn in order to tighten/loosen a screw...;
*knowing the ground wire from a line wire;
*admit it when he's wrong.

Easy It says it right on the label. Either it is brewed in Belgium -> good stuff or made anywhere else ->baaaaaad.


Ok there are a couple of corner cases like German beer which is not bad either,

Sorry Bruno,
But I would never be able to call a Lambic good beer. On the other hand any of the Abby brewed dubbles or tripples are truely exquisite!

Lambic, it's kind of an acquired taste I guess...

A man must be able to do what ever needs to be done, no matter if he wants to do it or not.
