How did you do on this beer test?

 

If you got 0-5 questions right, you are a beer noob!

You may like sipping on a cold brew from time to time, but clearly you don’t know much about what you’re drinking. That’s ok! All that means is that there is a lot of room for growth. Head over to a beer tasting, beer event, or check out JustBeer University to learn a thing or two… or three.

 

If you got 6-10 questions right, you are a beer lover!

We know your favourite drink is beer and it judging by how much you know about beer, we can tell you really do love it. Clearly you were paying attention while going through JustBeer University! We won’t judge you for the questions you got wrong, we’ll just assume you’re a few beers deep.

 

If you got 11-15 questions right, you are a beer snob!

Ok maybe you like beer just a little too much. Is that even possible? No! But it is possible to turn into a beer snob. While it’s awesome that you know so much about beer, make sure you’re not that annoying guy at the bar that has to tell everyone how much they know about craft beer. Have you ever thought about being a Cicerone?
