My thoughts exactly, I can understand people not wanting to try completely radical things like bungee jumping or eating a worm or something this extreme, but trying a new style of beer, or listening to some instrumental music for a change instead of this soul less machine made "Boom Boom" they always listen to, or a new kind of food or whatever...

For me it indicates a very close minded person right there, and i feel i cant really connect with completely close minded individuals.

Could Home brew be used as some kind of a personality test?

I'll drink to that...

It wasn't a beer that I made, but a few months back at a poker game at my house I had some Ruination in the fridge. One of the guys at the game who is a hardcore High Life drinker poured himself a Ruination and after 1 drink he made the 'Bitter Beer Face' and exclaimed "Man, that's like drinking weeds... that's nasty".

I literally fell out of my chair laughing.

I have to give credit to my step dad's family Busch drinking guys when trying my beers. I get "that has good flavor! I'd probably like it better if trying it before drinking a few Busch's". They're pretty country, but what i like to call High Class/High-Tech hillbilly. I mean this with utmost respect. Old country boys who are very well educated and skilled and opened minded about everything.
I also have one buddy who I get the dark comment quite often. But I cut him alot of slack because he is really trying to educate himself and is getting into beer. Let's face it though, "DARK" is the very common to the beer beginner. So when he says I like that dark beer, referring to an amber or brown", I explain the style so he has a better vocabulary. Sometimes Dark is used because they just don't know Stout, Porter, Brown Ale, and other lingo.

Maybe I should have, but I was too busy laughing my ass off.

WTF is "heavy"? You mean it's thick and actually has substance compared to the pi$$ beer you usually drink? And it's supposed to be nutty; my special ingredient

Now stop wasting my good home brew!

He asked what type of beer I will make. I said, "Pretty much all kinds except IPA because I'm not a fan of super hoppy beers." He then proceeded to tell me that IPA's taste the way they do because it's the leftovers from various kegs all mixed together!! I couldn't believe it, sometimes I wish people just pull their head out of their a** and think before they talk.

I find this to be most annoying from people who think they know beer and spout something utterly false as factual information.

My absolute favorite comment is "Porters are made from the stuff off the bottom of the barrel"

They think anything dark is from the sludge at bottom of a barrel.

It has a possibility of being true if they harvested the yeast or may have poured fresh wort onto a yeast cake. But how likely would they have known that, much less understood why?

Not a chance! Arrrghhh!!
