A beer connoisseur (cicerone) and who has no social skills and whose entire personally consists of spouting craft beer factoids.
Beer philistine: “Man, this stout is just like Guinness. So heavy!”
Ciceralone: “Ackshyually, Guinness is a low calorie beer and is relatively low in final gravity despite its high SRM. By the way, SRM is a measure of a beer’s color where higher is darker. But contrary to popular belief, SRM has nothing to do with a beer’s density or caloric content.”
Normal guy: “Wow, that’s super cool, man…”
Ciceralone: “I know, right! Did you ever hear how IPAs got their name?”
