It was a compliment but it was cheap kit and the boy ran a pub that specialises in commercial brews. I just thought it was a bit depressing that my kit beer represents a 'good beer' to the bulk of people. There are much better beers out there and they would probably never sell.
 
Gave my BMC drinking buddy a couple 22's of an extract Amber Ale I brewed. Called him a few days later for his opinion... "man that was kind of heavy, but once I "cut" it with some Coors Light it was drinakble!" No more for you buddy!
 
Lol. I gave my mate (Who is head brewer at a famous scottish brewery) 2 bottles of mead with the specific instructions to drink the small one now and the second one next year. Got an email from him the other day saying he'd drank them both! Stupid thing to do but a great compliment at the same time!
 
On 3 separate occasions I've given my brother in law a nut brown ale, hefeweizen, and an ESB. His comment on all 3: "Tastes like Sierra Nevada." WTF ? Yeah, the fact that none of them had any Cascade with completely different yeast and grain bills I can see the similarities...Idiot.

:cool: nice work buddy gotta love that!
 
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!

I just discovered this thread. Im only up to page 16, and couldn't take it any more. I'll post some of my jems whem im done reading. If you had any idea the concentration of BMC drinkers who surround me.... Oh. I live in a college town.

Here's the 1st that comes to mind.

Between my buddy Noah who grows my hops & bar patron in mountain backwater bar. Noah drinks ALOT of my beer. He has the right, its mostly his hops so I have a captive taste tester.

Noah-"Bartender, what kind of beer do you have?"
BarT-"BMC"
Noah-"You dont have at least any Sam Adams, or Yeungling in a bottle"
----------(Note: we live in PA Yeungling is in PA)----------
BarT-"We have Bud Select, and Michelob"
Noah-"Just give me whatevers on your 1 tap(Bud)"
----At this point he begins to talk to some locals about the hop farm, and all the beers I
----brew with them, and can be brewed with them. Mentioning SamAdams, Yeungling,
----Victory, Troeegs, mostly Pa brewerys.
Local-"We dont drink that kinda stuff round here. We like domestic beer.
Noah-"What could be more domestic than beer brewed in my buddies basement?
........Blank stare.......
Local-"we make moonshine round here, not fancy beer"
 
haha yeah you've gotta love the "domestic" beer prices. Since when isn't a US owned and operated microbrewery "domestic?"

I had a dream last night that the all-american brewery with a bald eagle right in the logo was owned by some guys over in Belgium! Crazy world right! What a dream that was..... :fro:

Can't say I've had many "stupid" comments lately.

I did give my soon-to-be father-in-law a mixed sixer of some of my brews and he and his girlfriend drank them all in one night....then asked if he bought ingredients if I'd make him a batch! :mug:

I'm thinking of asking him to smoke some malt over cherry or applewood instead....brew up a nice smoked stout...
 
My dad after trying my first ever beer (a hopped up wheat brewed on a starter kit he bought me for my birthday):

"YUCK! It tastes like beer, just not the kind of beer I like. Good job."

Thanks for the vote of confidence dad:rolleyes:
 
Thought I would never run across this. I was carpooling with my boss so I gave him some of my bacon beer I recently made. They were warm since they were sitting in the work truck all day and so on the way home I told him to keep them in the fridge and try them later tonight or even tomorrow so they have a chance to cool off from the 90F heat. He turns and says to me, Oh its ok dude, I will throw some ice into the glass. LOL I was like, uhhhhhh really? I didnt know what to say. He did wait and tried it like i said to and fell in love with the beer. But I was still shocked.

Warm bacon beer??? I am wondering what my comment would be after trying something like that...
 
I lways get the same things from people that find out i made a beer they tried or that i even brew at all...

"you made beer?! How?"

"You can do that? isn't that against the law?"

"how do you know what to put in it?"

"will this make me sick?"

and the best one i get the day after all the time...

Friend: "your brew gave me the worst hangover and headache ever!!""

Me: ummm are you sure it didn't have anything to do with the 4 bud lights and 8 shots of various hard alcohol and 6 other beers besides the 2 home brews you had?

He didn't open one, since we were still driving... ;)

We were talking about what he was going to do when he got home. After work. That night. :mug:
 
I have a homebrewer friend who's beer criticism vocabulary is restricted to the word "astringency."

Me: "Hey man, try this Hop Rod Rye."
Him: *Tastes it* "Hmmm, it has a kind of harshness to it, an...astringency."
Me: *wut*

And from Mom:

"Are you sure it wont kill you?"
"ARE YOU SURE?!"
"How do you know what's growing in there?"
"How do you know if it's not poisonous?"

My mother-in-law once upbraided my father-in-law in my hearing for having a second beer because they were driving the next morning! :ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban:
 
This really isn't a comment on the beer so much as it is a funny story of human stupidity. I was doing a beer event for the brewery I work for and all the beer kegs finally kicked. We took the jockey box off the table and started to pack it away.

Now, nothing is on the table at this point. People kept coming up to me asking for another sample of our beers. Some asked "Do you have any more beer", which I guess is better then blindly coming up to the table and asking "I'd like another pour of you Pumpkin Beer" which happened ALOT. Yesh, how dumb can you be? There's nothing on the table, no taps, no nothing and we are obviously packing up our stuff. So, I had to politely tell them that we had no more beer left. Sigh.....at least they liked our beer enough to come back! Bonus there!

In their defense, they were probably hammered.
 
I wouldn't call this a stupid question by any means, I just found it humorous.

Had a guy see me boiling one day and asked what I was doing. I told him and he asked where I buy the alcohol to put in it.
 
not on my beer but a craft beer note I was at TGi fridays and saw they had new belgiums hoptober ordered one and my buddy got a colorado native. i gave the hoptober a through sight and aroma analysis before tasting good C hop nose FYI...... and the bartender saw me and said "know whats crazy if you put a SA boston lager next to both of those it tastes exactly the same." i respectfully disagreed he poured a sample of the BL and said watch compare i did and listed the major differences and than he cut me off after one beer. nematode bartender grr still bitter about it.

No doubt he wanted to know where to buy pure alcohol so he didn't have to have the watered down stuff everyone else drinks then :ban:
 
A friend of a friend told me that my blonde was really bitter when he tried it the day before. He told me this while drinking a Natural Ice. Keep in mind that my blonde is very smooth, almost too sweet haha....moron
 
My latest annoyances are people telling me "it's awesome" but they look at me like I'm punching them in the crotch when I ask "How can I make it better? What did you not like about the taste/feel/arroma."

Yeah, but at least they are honest.

That person would never taste another drop of my beer, period.

I would not bother with them when comes to homebrew. Not unless I had one of my light beers on tap but I'd take any comments with a grain of salt

That reminds me of our local hot wings place in San Jose. Their beer sign has two categories... Domestic and Micro :drunk:
 
I can't really be too hard on someone who says "hey, this actually tastes like beer" because when I tried my first bottle from my first batch I said "hey, this actually tastes like beer."

Same, me and SWMBO both said it at exactly the same time too :eek:
 
I gave a guy a wheat beer and he says:
"I don't like this. I like beers more like that new bud light wheat beer."
:drunk: WTF?

Fortunately it was enjoyed by everyone else, except 1 woman who asked if I could make a Smirnof Ice :p
 
I brought a selection of homebrew bombers to my grandfather's house one holiday and came back another night and my uncle told me he drank them all and said they were weak! No appreciation, just free booze... I basically told him they were around 5% and thus stronger than BMC, then tried to ignore him because I was insulted, but he kept talking to me about the topic... I realized it was inebriated nagging and I just wanted him to STFU...

Obviously I didn't bring any more homebrew there and he'll never get any. I'm pretty sure he "wasn't supposed to be drinking".
