Some just asked in the AG Water Primer thread where he could find the primer everyone was referring to in all the posts.
Haha I saw that

The thing that gets me is when you nicely try to explain something to someone and they just won't accept it.
This kid (around my age?) overheard me order a SNPA and goes "Sierra Nevada? Nice. I love IPAs." I said me too but this is a pale ale, not an IPA and he goes "yeah, that's what I said. INDIA. PALE. ALE." Like I was stupid haha
I brought some homebrews to my sister's house for Christmas this year. My brother insisted on drinking it out of the bottle, which is fine, not everyone can allreciate the bouquet of a New Zealand hopped ipa, but I just wanted to let him know about the little pile of sediment at the bottom as he's finishing the bottle. He gets to the end, I warn him, to which he replies "that's the stuff that f's you up," and swigs the last sip. It was hilarious.

On topic, my mother got me a bottle of beer for Christmas. She told the employee at the liquor store I like IPAs. He said, "if he likes IPAs, he'll love this..."
I figure he is either clueless or an @$$hole.

"Sierra Nuh vaaa duh? What the hells that?"
Me: This is just a beer, it just a style called an IPA with lots of hops
Piney: whooooo bet that'll get you drunker than all the other stuff huh? I just drink jack, but I grew up on shine...

"Yeah, something like that."
WesleyBrewViking said:On Saturday I gave a friend one of my homebrew IPAs, the first homebrew he's had. When he tried it he said "I think that's the least offensive beer I've ever tasted." I wasn't really sure what to think so I decided to just take it as a compliment.
Obviously not an Arrogant Bastard clone ;-)

Hah, that's from Blue Velvet by David Lynch. Pretty f'ed up movie. My husband, although he's a huge beer snob, says that all the time.
Bud Light Platinum. It's like 6% or something. People who like to get trashed think it's liquid gold.
Bud Light Platinum smells like vomit.
I was working at GABF as a pourer and can't remember the brewery name I was pouring for but they had a White Chocolate Milk Stout. That was gold in color. So many people kept telling me I was pouring them the wrong beer. I was like no pretty sure. They insisted that the porter must be the chocolate milk stout so I just apolgized and poured them the porter.
I think 99.9% of people would assume that a stout with chocolate in the name would in fact be DARK.
Stout was transformed from meaning STRONG beer to meaning dark/roasted/etc. Add the fact that it says chocolate, though, and I think most people would think you're an idiot for pouring them a light colored beer, myself included.

Oh absolutely it doesn't have to be dark, but you're gonna get 99% of people saying you're crazy for serving something that's not dark.
My point being -- it's not unreasonable at all for one to think that the words chocolate stout should mean dark beer.

I might be the crazy one here but if someone poured me a White chocolate stout I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if it was pale. I think people were missing the "white" part.
white chocolate is white. lol

Also, I like people at bars that don't know the difference between lagers and ales and making false comparisions that makes me laugh.
actually never mind. I'm an idiot.Skeptidelphian said:And people who don't know the difference between there/their/they're make a story impossible to follow.
I was in Alabama a couple of months ago on bussiness trip and I was at local resturant and I odered a snpa and I ask for another beer and recieved a torpedo this time. Apparently all serria nevada beers are the same. lol

I think you missed my point still.
I don't care if it's green chocolate, if it's got the word chocolate and stout in it, a reasonable person is going to infer that it's a dark beer.
But nevermind -- I wasn't trying to turn this into a debate or argument.
They're's a thread for that.actually never mind. I'm an idiot.
At first I was with the "white" crowd but then I though about it. What makes a stout a stout = roasted barley. Even a little bit is going to make a dark beer. How did they get a stout to taste like a stout without also having it look like a stout
