They tend to use supercritical carbon dioxide in the industrialized world.

Pfft. That's so passe. Shouldn't they be on to wickedsupercrital carbon dioxide by now? I mean, this is the 21st century.
Overheard at the beer aisle in the grocery store. Man speaking to wife/gf:
Non-Alcoholic beer is really bad for you. They use bleach to remove the alcohol.
I was in a brewery in North Carolina, sorry don't remember the name. They only brew German style lagers. All there eqipment came from Germany. Any way on the wall was this sign.
People who drink light beer don't really like beer.
They just like to piss a lot.
LOL Thought that was so funny.

Anyways, at a co-worker party one night, I'm holding on to my can of Miller Lite and one of my co-workers husbands comes up to me and points out that I'm drinking a Lite. He then says, "Hmm, thought you were some kind of beer snob, you brew your own right? Well, I'll tell you, life is to short to drink crappy cheap beer like Lite." He then proceeded to grab a Carona out of the cooler, held it up like it was something special and walked away. I actually thought he did it as a joke, until that's all he drank all night.
(sound of SiriusStarr unzipping pants) "Hey! Come here and tell me if this tastes like a Fat Tire!"Others have said similar things, but I have to add it, just because I never cease to be amazed by how prevalent this is...
Grandfather trying my Belgian Strong Pale Ale (9.1% ABV and 55 IBUs), "Oh, this is great, it tastes like Fat Tire."
Neighbor trying my Witbier, "This is really good, it tastes just like Fat Tire!"
:smack:

We have a server here that is hard core German. She's an older lady who hates serving Bud or Bud Light, the only two such beers we carry. One day this intelligent gentleman decided to engage her in a rowdy bout of tom foolery. He insulted her German heritage and demanded "a real beer, Bud Light" from her. She explained that we have some fine German beers that exemplify the style he's used to, but he would have none of it. Flustered, she came to me with the story and told me she didn't want to take the awful offering to him. Then she told me what he said. "If the Germans are so good at making beer, how come they lost two World Wars?"
Come on. So I offer to take the whole table's beers to them. The gentleman's father ordered a liter of Oktoberfest from Spaten.
"Here we go, I have a fine German beer for you sir, a nice Riesling for you Ma'am and a beer flavored putrid malt beverage for you."
"Excuse me, this is REAL BEER."
"No, your father ordered a real beer, you ordered a pansy malt beverage only fit for cooking hot dogs in."
"Then why does it say BEER on the label?"
"Because it's legal to lie in the states. In Europe and the rest of the world they aren't allowed to call it BEER, they have to call it malt beverage like Zima and most wine coolers. So you're basically drinking a wine cooler. Enjoy your Zima, and you sir (pointing to his father), enjoy that BEER."
The whole table laughed at him. The server asked me if that was true about Europe.
"I don't think so, but it's true to him right now."
at one of my favorite craft beer bars i ordered a sierra nevada northern hemisphere wet-hopped ale. i commented that it was delicious. the barmaid then tells me (in a bit of a snooty way):
"yeah, it's one of my favorites. i love those wet-hopped beers as opposed to the dry-hopped ones."
i didn't have the heart to tell her that wet hopping refers to ingredients and dry hopping refers to process. i did have a hearty silent chuckle, however.
probably would have blown her mind to tell her the wet hop ale was probably dry hopped...

Dry stout is a dark, light beer.
Working as a bar manager of a popular German restaurant and an owner of a LHBS, I hear a lot of tall beer tales.
Last year for our town's big Oktoberfest, in our eternal wisdom, we deemed it a good idea for us to be brewing out in the open instead of sampling beer. Whoops. People came by in droves when they smelled the mash and boil. We brewed an ESB. The shop has tons of people inside and we were constantly being drawn in to help them. Not the best decision ever, but I was also split between doing that and watching my bar go down in flames due to volume. It's cool, I allocated help and we dug out from under the mess, but my brewing and business partner got swamped. All in all, not the best day. When we were done, we'd told everyone that it would take weeks until it was ready and gave out a flyer with a date to come back.
We left the carboy unattended for 3 minutes to enjoy a beer after a hectic day and night. We came back and there was a small gaggle of people hovering around the carboy, all of whom we'd told about how the beer wasn't ready. They are sampling from the ported BB.
"Eww. This is flat and awful! What is it??"
"It's an ESB. Extra Special Bitter, a British favorite."
One guy turns to his wife..."Oh that's what's wrong with it, it's British."
"Get out."
I've got tons more when I get time, read this whole thread...love it!
So they have these movie theaters around here that serve food and drinks while you watch, they've got this 40oz mug called the tanker. Nothing special on tap so I asked for mine to be filled with guiness, server goes away, comes back 5 minutes later and says the bar tender won't fill it because guiness is too alcoholic. He was fine with shiner bock however.
Did you try to tell them that Guinness has about the same alcohol content as bud light?

I remember when we were young & a bud had come back from the army,having been stationed in Nuremburg. In the nazi's old converted barracks,no less. He was also talking about how you couldn't drink many of the German beers {'cause they're like 18%!". Yeah right...
