I get the point of this thread. I just think that some of this is turning into straight snobbery. When people do not know the process or styles well they are not stupid, just ignorant on the subject. IMO this thread is starting to reflect poorly on beer and homebrewing culture.

I had never heard of Keith Stone except on Keystone bilboards, so I finally looked him up on Wikipedia. Now I know why I'd never heard of him before: He was made up by Coors to market Keystone.
Does that count as a stupid comment on someone else's beer?

You are a better man than I. I would have probably punched her right in the babymaker.
I gave a couple to a friend, a simple brown and a simple pale. He raved to everyone about the pale and told everyone the brown was way too strong, with escalating abv guesses topping out around 12%. The brown was a smooth but hoppy 4.2% and the pale was a mistake and was 7.5% with a noticeable dactyl (sp?) bitter, slippery aftertaste.
He literally kept saying I was mistaken in which beer had what abv. :-/

Well, just remember that your friend is ALWAYS right. Regardless of the situation. Even if you brew it, he still knows more about the specifics of the beer.

Gave a witbier to a friend. Asked him what he thought. His response?
"Tastes like Yuengling"
Really?

Maybe it was the pilsener malt flavor. Early on in my beer drinking I tasted Oberon and said it tasted like Pilsner Urquell. It was the only other beer I had that tasted like saaz.
Not on my beer, but too dumb not to share:
Went to Aviator brewing yesterday and took the tour. It was very crowded, and quite a few of the folks on the tour had been imbibing before the tour. At the start of the tour, the guide starts handing out handfuls of barley and encouraging people to try eating some. The two drunks beside me, upon receiving a handful of grain, asked, "So is this the hops?"
Seriously? I can understand not being able to recognize hops, but you should recognize that you've just been handed a grain.
When they did hand out the hops (seriously, he had a big bag full of whole centennial hops and just started handing out handfuls; I considered put them in my pocket) the guys asked if they could eat those. I really wanted to see that.

PBR Drinking Friend: 'I don't like IPA's'
A lot of BMC types are so wound up about "bitter beer" that they just can't take anything hoppy.
Some of the same folks are the ones that drink sludgey bottom-of-the-pot coffee and chew the grounds, but suddenly they turn into little girls at the idea of a properly hopped brew.

Mmmm. I love hoppy beers AND sludgy bottom-of-the-pot been sitting all day coffee. It's what's getting me through college.

This presupposes that the person knows that hops AREN'T a grain. I have known intelligent people who were uneducated about beer and asked me if they were a type of grain, some other type of plant life or something else altogether.
As to the eating hops thing... heheh... One pub that I brewed for had a server who liked to talk, a lot, and he knew something about everything... I was busy one day and he was pestering me asking questions that I didn't have time to answer. What I was doing at that very moment was measuring hops for the day's two brews... not a time to be distracted. He made a comment about the hop pellets, something about he liked the taste of hops and could you actually eat them outside the beer... heheh wicked wheels turn fast... "sure," I said popping a Chinook pellet into my mouth. I chipmunked it and pretended to chew. "Here, try some..." I put three or four more of the Chinook pellets into his hand, my assistant was grinning like a opossum. The server popped those pellets into his mouth and began chewing like crazy... in about 3 seconds he was bending over the trash can, gagging and spitting... My assistant and I were literally doubled over laughing. Kid was a good sport about it though, once the wretching stopped, he got kind of red faced, " I guess I had that coming... I won't bother you when you're busy..."

I've never tried eating hops... And since I'm not one to take anyone's word for anything, I'll have to take a nibble

My 13 year old took a pellet of Hallertau and popped it into his mouth before I could stop him last brew day. I believe he tied the land-speed record getting to the kitchen sink for water! After he could talk again, he said, and I quote "I thought you said that hopps make beer taste better, dad"! I guess kids have to learn the hard way.....

Oh heck I love it when my friends who all drink BMC tell me how much they do not like my beer but my cooler is the first one empty with their help.

Once again I have to chime in and just say that while I know friends get to be more honest than strangers, some of the things friends have said about brews here just seems rude as all hell. Maybe I just have awesome friends, but any mead or food I have made I have had to expressly say "be brutal, or I'll make it again" because they will politely say "huh, that tastes really interesting." I cant imagine any one of my friends, let alone myself, refering to the fruits of someone's labors as "elk's ass."
Maybe people's friends just have a different system for teasing...

Man I just spewed coffee out my nose. Years and years ago I remember drinking something called Bear Whizz beer. I still got a glass from it somewhere
"It was clear as anything man, and tasted like a Wee Heavy which I like!"
Fella, I gave you a milk porter. It's the color of tar.
