I occasionaly get the, "Hey cn you brew me a american lager?" I always respond, "yes" in a calm voice and i do not mind doing it. But it annoys me when the same person says over and over..."Hey can you brew me a nice rice beer I have been wanting you to brew?" Ok as my beer information is swirling around in my head I think...okay he probably likes something like a Bud that uses rice and is crisp and light. I know he loves those Japanese beers that use a lot of rice. So i respond, "I can't brew lagers...but I know a recipe that is like a rice lager but is an ale. It is called a cream ale." (Check out Jamil's recipe in Brewing CLassic Styles) I have told this guy at least 7 times that i can not brew lagers so know i get to the point where i start to scream whenever he asks. I just dont have the extra fridge around. So he says I do not want that...that is nothing like what i want. So after arguing for a while he pulls it up on wikipedia and after it says it right ****in there that it is like a standard amercian lager he says, "I hate how you think you know sooooo much about beer. You don't know anything." I respnd, "I know more than you and i know that what i would have brewed you something you would like. It is light crisp and not bitter. And it uses ur ****ing rice you love soooooo much cuz your scared of something actually jumping off ur taste buds." So on wensday i am going to brew him his damn cream ale and he is going to like it and and i can't wait til he says he doesn't like it and then has three more glasses of it. I just needed to vent a bit:rockin:
