Took my family to a local microbrew. At some point I grabbed a pitcher of IPA. Very hoppy IPA. The parents wanted to try it, so I poured them a little bit. My dad's comment was "I could make that with some grass clippings in that porta-potty." Needless to say, they didn't like it. I then made the mistake (the second of the day) explaining that it's hops they taste. Now every time I offer my mom a beer she questions whether or not it contains hops.

not exactly my homebrew, but something I thought was disturbingly stupid at the time considering where I was when I heard it.
SWMBO and I were visiting the Anchor Brewing Company on my honeymoon last year, and during the tasting portion, we were given some of their porter. At this point, we had all had about 3-4 ~8oz taster pours, so everyone was chatting with each other. A girl in the group we were talking to was handed her glass of porter, she took a sip, then said to everyone in a slightly lowered voice:
"Guinness is better."
In my head I was like, WTF? it's not even the same type of beer!

Today I got my first "It tasted dark" comment Then found & reqd this entire thread. That coment froma friend who has been considering taking up brewing. Actually liked the brew & the "dark" taste of my Vanilla Cream Ale. It was amusing & a bit ironic to me when T\this thread turned up.

That's cool! People who don't know beer and are daring enough to start brewing eventually open up to new beers that they would have never like before. I'm a hophead now. When I started I didn't like hoppy, bitter beers but now they can't ever be too hoppy.
