The Qualifications of The Members (and guests) of the "COMMITTEE"
Nemsis
I once bought a car because it had seatbelt connections which could be used to open a beer. Mind you, this was way back when you needed an opener, when the police would pull you over and simply drive you home while giving you a tongue lashing along the way, when political correctness had not been invented, when you could say what was on your mind without having to pre-think every ramification of every word which comes out of your mouth, without having to worry about flailing about you with a lead pipe whenever the mood struck you, when a man could be a man and get his ass kicked without running to a lawyer, when the elephants turned pink all by themselves and you could see tambourines and elephants ... doo doo doo...lookin out my back door , and DT's can be a wonderful thing if you only approach them in an acceptable frame of mind.Think I'll take a deep breath now and have another BEER.
Devoid
I like beer! I like beer alot! Beer unlike wine must be taken in copious amounts to get the full effect. If a person only sips slowly on one beer they can never get the full feeling of what a good beer drunk is really like. That qualifies me as a true member of the 'Committee' unlike some who snipe at others to try to qualify!

While I'm sure the other members of the Committee would argue that beer was the cause of civilization (Brief history lesson: when humans ceased to be nomads and settled down to grow grain and bread, they did this often just so they could use the bread to make beer.) this is largely because they are all no doubt direct descendants of these original swillers. I might argue that it was civilization's downfall, but then I shop at "Airs are Us" and compete with Blinky to be the difficult and discerning one.
As the neophyte beer drinker in the group, almost all these beers are new to me. Luckily, unlike the others, all my taste buds have not been damaged and deadened by years of consumption and abuse. I am more capable of discerning swill when it is proffered,I know, I'm usually the one proffering it! The others would drink copious amounts of cascades no matter what the case plopped in front of them, all with the pretense of working towards a greater understanding and appreciation of beer as a fine beverage. They need somebody like me there to lend an air of credibility to the whole affair.
Note: Please take note that we are not a Guild as that would imply an association of persons of the same pursuits, formed to protect mutual interests and maintain standards. (These blokes have no standards and are only interested in consuming beer for absolutely any godly or ungodly reasons they can think of, ergo the Committee.)
Jack
1. Married to a confirmed beer hound.
2. Even though introduction to beer came rather late in life (college years, early twenties), I took to beer like a duck to water. (Devoid the scribners note: more like a skunk to a garbage pail - She started out on Labatt 50, Yike!).
3. Even though I'm on a diet I still get to taste Devoids' beer which irks him to no end. That alone is worthy of membership in this august group of drunken buffoons who feel they need a forum just so they can start drinking so early in the day. (Scribes note: (don't forget it's Devoid hisself), death will not be swift or painless.))
