Definitions
Affectionate or lightly mocking slang for a person who drinks beer enthusiastically and often — someone who hunts down a cold one with the focus and persistence of a hound on a scent. Unlike 'alcoholic,' which carries clinical weight, beerhound is generally jovial and social in tone. It implies someone who genuinely loves beer culture: the pub crawls, the craft ales, the after-work pints, the fridge that's always stocked. Equal parts self-deprecating badge of honour and mild ribbing from friends.
Every Friday after work, the whole team follows Dave to whatever new tap room he's found — the man is a dedicated beerhound.
