Every (b) = 17 or 14 points, your choice
Every (c) = -6 points
Every (d) = ∏ points
Tally up your points and write them down on the bottom left corner of a beer napkin. Then, if you drew anything other than a keg filled with more beer for Question #4, subtract 4 points, because obviously there’s something wrong with you. This will give you your final craft beer personality score. Find the recommended beer pairing for your personality score below.
