Somewhere Around 2,000 - Smash
So, I've been tasting different kinds of beer and keeping track with tasting notes (really bad, meaningless notes usually ... like "it has a beery aroma.") I also have been bringing the empty bottles home (when there were bottles involved). I carefully soak the labels off and mount them [non-archivally] in a set of scrapbooks. This all goes back to 1990 or so, and I've tasted something near 2,000 different brews, by my count. In all those staggering-home-on-the-Metro years, I have never broken a single bottle. Tuesday night, at the Wild Goose / Flying Dog beer tasting at the Brickskeller, I broke two ... in the restaurant ... during the stage show. :(
Of course ... I brought the broken bottles home in my bag to try to save the labels anyway. We all must obsess about something. :)
