Liquid Agnostic – A person who does not believe in a hierarchy of liquid consumables based on their perceived cultural importance.

• Flavor is first.
• Flavor is valued when it is not obvious.
• Flavor is valued when it is layered and nuanced.
• Flavor is valued when balanced.
• Flavor is valued when it makes me smile.
• I do not believe that one liquid category is superior to another.
• I choose hand crafted or artesian beverages when possible.
• I do not believe there is one right way to enjoy any liquid.
• I do believe there are wrong ways to consume certain liquids.
• I do not think puritanism towards the intoxicating effects of alcohol helps anyone.
• A liquid is more highly coveted when I can not easily describe it.
• A liquid is enjoyed more when it stops me and makes me think.
• A liquid is sought out when it haunts my thoughts.
• I will spend more for a liquid that makes me want to share.
• I will enjoy liquids that demand I pay attention.
• I will enjoy liquids that do more than just hydrate or intoxify.
• Beer is not defined by industrial lagers.
• Tea is not defined by tea bags.
• Coffee is not defined by instant crystals or caffeine content.
• Wine is not defined by Bordeaux first growths or the shape of the bottle.
• Spirits are not defined by their alcohol content or ability to give a buzz.
• Water brings balance to all liquids.
• Taste is SUBJECTIVE

This is a living document and will grow and change over time.
