That was a entertaining episode on myth-busters too. :cross:
My brother and I made a tasty pale ale for my nieces graduation party (college age of course) and had a 2.5 gallon keg as well as some bottles. My wife was sitting near the keg when 2 other grads came by to get some beer and one said to the other, "I love foreign beer but just can't afford it".
I guess homebrew is foreign.

I've had a significant amount of beer, followed by a significant amount of Ouzo/Sprite, and I've never had a hangover. Must be good genetics.
It's awesome. I sure wish somebody would proofread all internet forum posts. Oh, a man can dream...
I have had a little bit of trouble with it but it is because I drank a few bottles that weren't quite finished carbonating so there was a lot of yeast still in suspension. Yeast is a natural laxative. (Pharmacies sell "Active Brewers Yeast Supplement" tablets as a natural form of laxative.) I mentioned that to the guy but he is convinced it is from fermenting in a dirty bucket. Once I learned to wait until the beer is clear I haven't had issues since.
How terrible is it to say something funny that you overheard about beer in a thread entitled "Funny things you've overheard about beer"... Unsurprisingly, I did thank them politely. Also unsurprisingly, I groaned internally reading it. It was my impression that this thread was a place for like-minded individuals to be able to have an inside laugh at the misinformation that exists in the world. My apologies if being polite but having a laugh behind the scenes makes me the "bad guy". If you find it morally objectionable to find people's incorrect statements funny, you should probably stop reading this thread, since that's kind of the point of it.
My apologies if that comes off as harsh, but I'm just saying, what is this thread for if not for having some fun about misinformation? I never said I wasn't polite to them to their face, and you implying that I am somehow the "bad guy" is frankly rather rude.

In my opinion, this thread was over months ago. It's just open now for one person to post, and thirty people to derail and argue about it. I wish there were a way for it to stop popping up in my feed.
Go to "Subscribed Threads" in the settings, check the box next to this thread, and at the bottom of the page, select "Delete Subscription."
Edit: Sorry for the de-rail, but I figured if I just PM'd it, someone else would just answer here, thinking it was unanswered. XD

Wrong. On the app, once you post there's no way to keep from it popping up. But thanks for trying.

That was a pretty amazing story.
You actually got your wife to go to hooter's
Back in my single days, I took a girlfriend to a topless bar - at her request; she wanted to see what they were like. Of course, when a guy brings his own woman into a place like that, it's a direct challenge to the gals working there.... we sat front and center at the stage, and every dancer there zeroed in on me.
So I'm sitting there with one of the tastiest looking dancers I've ever seen grinding away with her perfect little bottom right in my face, and fighting the urge to lean forward and take a bite, and my girlfriend says, "oh, I recognize her; she was in the ladies room when I went. She has a stomach bug, and was s______g and farting and stinking up the whole place."
Whoa... too much information. I leaned back instead of forward, and swore never again to bring a woman into a strip club. Reality is overrated...
add: we were drinking beer, so it counts in this thread. Although I'll be honest; it took me a little while to see the humor.

here's one that always tickles me:
"I've got 4 empty buckets!"
"I've got 4 empty buckets!"
EL OH EL... You sound Canadian.
Sorry if that offends. Sorry if I'm being to apologetic.
I think this thread is fun... every few days I log on and get a little chuckle, and ignore all the up-tight people. Sometimes I'll derail, too... it's not a huge deal. This is a time-killer place, not the centre of efficiency.
Not Canadian, just passive aggressive.
Which I suppose is the same thing. *rimshot* I love this thread, it just annoys the crap out of me when pepole get super defensive, 'cause it doesn't belong here. XD
Yes,quite...
I feel this is vaguely hipster... "Being snobby is too mainstream. I'm a snob about snobbishness."
Okay, okay, I'll hush now; someone get this darn thread back on track.
I think we all need to pause and have a beer. Preferably a home brew.

I live on a base in England. Off base new castle is £3 a pint. Roughly a fiver usd. On base where the beer was imported to the states, and then shipped back through military channels, it costs $2 a pint.
That gives me a chuckle.

You misread my post. I was responding to the spirit of the post I was quoting, that we should appreciate a friendly gesture even if the beer stinks. I know I was quoting a post that quoted your own post, but I wasn't responding to your story, which was a good contribution to the thread.

That reminds me of hearing that Evil Twin costs more because it needs to be shipped from South Carolina to NYC for import evaluation crap and then sent back to be sold, as the "home brewery" is out of the states? Yet at the tap room it isn't taxed as such?
Ee-Pa Guy "explaining" how to pronounce IPA and how they started in Washington State, I didn't even want to hear anymore:smack:
Ah, my bad. Just the way you said he was the "good guy" seemed to imply I was the opposite. Too many beers, clearly.
Cheers!Gave a pale ale HB to the neighbor across the street who drinks strictly Coors Light, asked him what he thought of it after a week or so and got "thought it was pretty good, but way too bitter for me and couldn't finish it"
At least he was trying to be nice, but thank goodness I'm not that guy, would have to kick myself in the nuts if all I drank was coors light.
Shoot, am I one of those beer snobs now?

And it was on the other night. Beer only seemed to have worse results, beer and liquor mix was not as severe.

Yes. If he had compared it to Guinness or something, that's funny. If he just said it was too bitter because he prefers a watery light lager, then that's just plain snobbery without the funny.
But again, it's funny because you sound like you might be a little proud to be a snob!
That can't taste good. But then again, I can see the value in getting a buzz on in that dry armpit of a country.

Sounds like American ingenuity to me!
I have one of those too he drinks an 18 pack every other day during the week and an 18 pack each day on the weekend or days he doesn't work (self-employed) He can only drink a sixer or so of mine then over sleeps the next day. So my beer is too strong he can drink an 18 pack and still go to work but 6 or so of mine and he crashes

Where the heck was he getting baker's yeast in Afghanistan?
Good point! If he was getting it shipped perhaps would be better off with some US-05...or would that be too suspicious?
I think even in Afghanistan, they make bread.
At the grocery store, I'd guess.

Not really allowed to go to grocery stores and such there, most likely had it shipped and either didn't know much about homebrewing to begin with, didn't want to be too suspicious ( cause they do check your mail and packages), or wanted to make a sort of prison hooch in esprit de corps, oorah!

That would be from somewhere dark and moist on one Private Baker.
