I can't usually get 'em because my girlfriend's a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. But I do enjoy the taste of a good burger...

I've noticed that this tends to depend on WHY she is a vegetarian. If it is a moral issue, you are pretty much screwed but I know a few who just don't like meat. Those have no problem with others eating meat.

My girlfriend is vegetarian, but fortunately not the moral kind. I still get to enjoy my meat. She doesn't like too many beers though they all are "too hoppy."

yessir!How did this thread go from funny beer stuff, to pulp fiction quotes, to vegetarians? If people want to talk about wether or not they eat meat start a new thread.
Don't call me sir I work for a living.

"If you can't slam it, it's not worth drinking." heard at a house party when my brother started handing out some of his Imperial Porters.
Don't know what a brofrush is but sounds neat. And the the imperial porter statement is priceless I guess it people like that that think "drinkability" is a word.

"That is not beer, what the hell did I just drink. I think I just drank dead body juice"

It's easier then thinking.Face palm. Why do people fall into advertisements and crappy beer lies and think that those are the only beers out there?

Went to TGI Fridays today because I got a gift card. Beer selection was pretty bad so I settled with one I hadn't had but seemed most likely to be a decent "craft" brew
Me: ill have a newcastle brown ale
Waitress: a Newcastle?? (Looks confused)
Me: (trying to help the confusion) do you need my ID or something?
Waitress: umm it's a drink?
I nod
Waitress: um yes please let me see it, anyone who looks under 40 sorry no offense
Me: oh no problem
Waitress: so a new, castle? That's a beer or a cocktail? Sorry I don't drink much
I tend not to be rude to people handling my food and drinks, also I am fairly certain she was new, and she was extremely polite, and apologetic, so I'm not going to flip out on some poor waitress like a dbag, but if she wasn't new then what the hell is wrong with her? I don't care if you don't drink you should know what your restaurant is selling. I have a feeling many people besides myself ask before almost anything else, "what do you have on draft?"
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?
SiriusStarr said:Here's one from tonight. I'm currently home for the holidays and was out shopping at Trader Joe's with my mother (who despises all beer, though she tolerates my addiction). I was checking out the beer section and was excited to see that they had this:
which is made by Unibroue (my personal favorite brewing co) and is supposed to be excellent. They had cases of it stacked in the middle of the aisle between the wine and beer sections, though the bottle I grabbed was actually from the beer shelf. I was remarking on my excitement about this find to my mother, when a young couple (though I probably shouldn't call them such, since they were probably only a year or two younger than I) comes up to us and the girl picks up one of the bottles and says to me, "Oh, is this really good?" I should mention that, while I try not to stereotype, this pair looked quite like the college-age-but-probably-not-attending-college-BMC drinkers, so I was delighted to see her taking an interest in craft beer. Of course I immediately launch into my explanation that while it's "TJ's", it's actually made my Unibroue and that they make excellent Belgians and are my favorite brewing co. and that I've heard great things about the beer, and for the price ($5) you really can't beat it for a decent Belgian. I get to the end of my explanation and she only has one thing to ask, "So, is it like about the same as this?", and proceeds to hold up a bottle of this:
Yes, that is Two Buck Chuck. Or rather Three Buck Chuck where I live. And that is most definitely wine.
I was slightly confused by this and explained to her that the beverage in question was beer, not wine, to which she remarked, "Oh! But it's in a wine bottle!" My mother was pretty much kicking me by this point to not have a complete pedantic flipout on the poor girl, so I just calmly explained to her that many Belgian style beers are bottled in champagne-style cork and cage bottles, ignoring the fact that that most certainly is not a wine bottle. Maybe champagne bottle I could understand. If the bottle didn't say "ALE" across the front in two prominent places.
Once she figured out it was beer, she proceeded to tell me that she liked "any alcohol, beer, wine, whatever," and asked what the difference was between that and the beer next to it (also in champagne bottles), a golden ale. I explained that they were both Belgian styles, but this one was darker, and she made the "Eww, Guinness" face, i.e. the "I think dark beers means massive roasted malts and bitterness" face. I started to explain that BSDA's are more likely to have nice raisin/dark fruit notes than bitterness, but I did actually get kicked by my mother at this point, and it was hopeless. She walked out with the bottle of golden ale, thinking it would be closer to the fizzy yellow tasteless lagers she so adores. I only wish I could be a fly on her wall tomorrow when she tastes it.

Immature, I know...
Ha! I used to look for these types of girls.

Immature, I know, but some people are just beyond educating. There was a wine bar near my old house in AZ that sold Tshirts that said "Friends don't let friends drink white zinfandel"....didn't say anything about having a little fun at the expense of the occasional clueless stranger though.
