I love brewing and drinking beer but beer "culture" and all the internet bickering about stupid **** like this is really turning me off. Some dude ordered a PBR and was gently nudged to the dark side by a bartender and people are bickering about it for more than a page of my internets? It's hard for me to describe just how little I care about what other people drink or what people think about what I drink.

What is gained from this guy drinking some awesome beer that you recommended instead of the PBR he ordered? What is lost if he drinks PBR? What is gained if he drinks PBR? The answer to every question is NOTHING.

I don't care about the bartender not doing his job. I don't care WTF bro bro drinks and I don't care about this ridiculous thread anymore.

Unless people start posting funny stuff again. If that happens somebody PM me K?

And yet you took the time to post an entire rant about "nothing".
That's funny, but I'm not going to PM you. Ha! :)

Beyond the obvious quality joke, isn't the entire point of the beechwood to make it ferment faster?

Enlighten me please: how would a wooden container make beer ferment faster?

Also, fermentation isn't that long of a process. It's the lagering that takes time. I always assumed they were lagering in the beechwood containers.

It isn't a beechwood fermenter; they add beechwood chips at the bottom of a metal fermenter to increase surface area and speed the lagering process.

It must be the beechwood chips that make me wake up the next day, half naked on the second floor landing with a mangled slice of pizza in my hand and a splitting headache.

Naw, that's probably the Everclear you pour in it to fortify it and make it more drinkable.

Thanks for that link. As is often the case, the comments section is as entertaining as, if not more so, than the article. "Its like you learn my mind! You appear to grasp so much about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something." :rockin:

Yeah that one had me in tears. I'm still cracking up thinking about it. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1414546173.827056.jpg
This one is funny, too. So, that's why I'm having carbonation issues. I'm not beechwood aging my beer. ;)ImageUploadedByHome Brew1414546243.880086.jpg

read in this article on cnn about "the best fall beers"

Autumn Maple -- The Bruery
Belgian-style brown ale 10% ABV
The brewer's description of this beer says it has 17 pounds of yams per bottle (you don't even need to eat your veggies, just drink this!), but it's not overwhelmingly sweet. It's a great alternate to pumpkin beers with the same warmth and spice.



...i think they mean barrel

I gotta PM that one to Elkshadow! ;-P
 
I was talking to my boss about different beer styles and Oud Bruin came up and I mentioned that some breweries can take years to make a batch. He responds that the beer would probably be scotch at that point.

I did not pull a "Well, actually..."; no one likes a know-it-all. :D

Shocking there is no females in that line :)

I thought I had one last week... I over hear a guy say "Yada Yada... I'll take something not too sweet" bartender says "ok" and then I immediately hear "You have blue moon?"

I think to myself "that's hilarious" I look over to see who would say something like that, and it was actually two different guys. Dang. No, they didn't have blue moon.
 
Not beer related but this is the dumbest thing I have heard all month:

"ZMapp is made out of nicotine leaves and was tested on mice having the virus, of which 80 percent survived."

Oh my G. O. S. H.! Nicotine leaves?!
 
Just a few I've heard recently..

Me: Do you have any IPAs?
Bartender: What's that?
Me: India Pale Ale
Her: Never heard of it is it dark?

and at a casino going back to get the same ipa i got earlier but from a different bartender

"I haven't bartended in 3 years and I've never heard of it, it must be a new style of beer that just came out"
me: you have 2 different ipas on tap...

she still didnt know what I was talking about so I had to get the other bartender to serve me lol. I mean I dont expect you to know everything.. but at least know whats on tap especially if 2 out of the 8 beers on tap are IPAs..
