I'm a Mormon, but I can participate in this discussion, because I know a guy who drank a couple beers once.
I went to dinner at a bar with my lab-mates during a conference awhile back, and listened to the waiter describe to my lab-mates all twelve obscure beers they had on tap using a broader vocabulary than I know from my two languages combined, along with an ad-libbed table of cross references to better-known beers that this bar, for whatever reason, did not have on tap.
I suddenly realized that there is a whole other world out there (the "beer world") of which I know absolutely nothing. I thought My former sense of culture for having tasting a half dozen varieties of cream soda seemed so tiny in comparison.
I am still recovering from the existential crisis that this caused me.
