Yeah. Being retired,I can't always by the craft stuff.
Next time you get into a tiny-dick swinging contest over the comparative merits of "light beers", try to remember this might be your last day in this particular Reality, and you probably shouldn't waste a lot of it...
Cheers!

homebrewdad said:Seriously? The guy posted what was, in fact, funny - that Bud Lite drinkers acted snobby towards his Natty Light... point being that they are both American Light lagers, and as such, have very little flavor either way. Your post was pretty uncool, day_trippr.
From my brother, after I ordered a Sam Adams Boston Lager: "oh yeah, i forgot you like those dark beers, thats gross! I'm just not very exotic. Bud Light is the only beer I drink. I would never, ever order something called a lager."
From my good friend's father, after taking a tiny sip of my homebrew IPA: "Yuck! Here, try a real man's beer!" (Hands me a Coors Light).
There was a homebrew tasting recently at the LHBS/bottle shop. Some guy, who was obviously already on route to happy town before he came to the shop, tracked me down to share his appreciation of my oaked RIS. He also wanted to share his excitement about the ingredients he just picked up for his next batch:
8lb two-row
1lb smoked malt
3lb crystal
...I really didn't know what to say. BUT I was reminded that it is always best to thoroughly (read soberly) check and double check any recipes concocted while drinking.
I've heard too many dumb things about beer to keep track of, but one thing that made me chuckle (and cringe) recently was on the cover of a book about beer. My wife bought me a book for Christmas titled "BEERS OF THE WORLD - Over 350 Classic Beers, Lagers, Ales, and Porters[/B"]
*shudder*
My immediate thought: if someone doesn't properly understand those relationships, why would they write a book about it?

You mean this?
My wife bought me the same book as part of a whole beer themed anniversary gift last year.

Point being the terminology is not incorrect. It's slightly archaic is all. Like naming your antique store "Ye Olde Shoppe."
It's not the same thing as the word "beer" in this usage. It's a generic term being used as a pronoun. Hence the need for a colon. Even my comm proffesors would argue this point.
Oh and she came back to tell me they were out of newcastle, so I still haven't had it, is this a good beer?

Here in Arkansas we wouldn't even bat an eye...
Of course most don't even know what a porter is either.
technically, it IS incorrect.
it's like writing a book called BEEF OF THE WORLD: over 350 classic beef, burgers, steaks and sirloins
or like telling me, "meet my wife and my sister" and there's only one woman with you
PhelanKA7 said:No, technically it ISN'T. It is archaic, not incorrect.
Your one of those people that likes to argue just to argue aren't you? I suppose dropping this before the thread gets closed, isn't an option is it...
PhelanKA7 said:You were wrong. I corrected you. No shame in that.

sister: it tastes like BEER!
While on vacay in Chicago Ohare AP, we decided to go to the Goose Island Brew Pub while we waited for our delayed plane. Walked up to the bar and couldnt read the taps so I asked the bartender, which of thier beers they had on tap he stopped walked to the taps and read them back to me (Im thinking ok maybe they get changed often thats why the bartender in a craft pub doesnt know thier own brands) Next I order Goose Island Green Line, and ask him what type of beer it is. Once again he stops and pulls out a "cheat card" and after about 30 seconds informs me its a very sessionable pale ale. Maybe not so funny but blows my mind how you would have someone so ignorant of your brews working behind your bar.
No, technically it ISN'T. It is archaic, not incorrect.
You would have had a very different experience at the GIs in the city. I believe the ones in the airports are nothing more than a a generic bar with HMS Host employees. Sucks that it happens though, and people associate it with Goose Island.
