What's the thrill of beer? Is it the achievement of making your own,
is it hunting down a speciality brew or chancing across something
special; was it being served your first drink underage; is it drinking
the first pint from your homebrew: or is there something you've done
whilst drinking beer (not necessarily drunk) e.g. watching sport, or
playing chess; or is it the taste, the quenching of thirst on a hot
day?

I am a research fellow at the Royal College of Art, England. As part
of my current work I'm trying to find out what thrills people, how and
why. I'm aiming to create a stimulating resource of material to
inspire new design work.

I'm primarily conducting my research on UseNet, spending time to get
to know different groups of people. Today I've been looking rec.food.
I'd like to invite anyone at R.F.D.B to take my short interview. The
results will be published on the website www.chromo11.com. You can
see the interview at www.chromo11.com/interview16 along with
instructions on how to complete it. (it can be done off-line).

We can talk further in this user-group (please be patient at it takes
me a couple of days to revisit each group) - but it's most
constructive to have any comments put forward in the interview format.
Even though this isn't scientific research, the interview is
fabricated to help me understand your experiences.

I hope you can help, I think it'll make a fantastic edition to the
growing thrill collection.

Thanks
