Hosted my grandparents for most of the weekend. Grandfather only drinks light lagers. Here's some highlights:
*On tasting "Not Your Father's Root Beer"*
This is delicious, I'll need to pick up some of this before we head home. But I WON'T buy it cold, since we have a long drive and our cooler is full. Don't want it to skunk.
*On observing the 5.9% ABV*
Grandfather: That's pretty high.
Grandmother: How much is in beer?
Grandfather: You'll be lucky to get 4%. Most domestics are around that area.
Me: Yeah 5.9% is pretty high for a soda like this. What do you mean by "Domestic?"
Grandfather: You know, like Budweiser and Millers and Natty Lite, those are all around 4%. Unless you get a lager like Yuengling, but even Yuengling isn't this high.
Me: ...Yeah I guess that's right.
Grandfather: Domestics can't be more than 7% either.
Me: (only being able to take so much). I don't know about that. I can get a barleywine made in the US that's north of 10%
Grandfather: That's a wine though.
Me: It's technically a beer.
Grandfather: It sounds like a malt liquor if it's that high.
Me: ...alright.
Grandfather: Unless the stuff you're talking about is Canadian like Labatt Blue and stuff like that.
I love and respect the hell out of the guy but that whole conversation was painful.
Ohhhhhh I'm sure he thinks you sound stupid talking about certain stuff, too.

Well actually...
Can you skunk a hard root beer if it doesn't contain hops?
(Does NYF have hops? I don't actually know.)
That was the funny part
Just because it has 'beer' in the name, doesn't mean it's beer at all.
Bunch of suckers... All of you.
Enjoy your Mike's Hard Soda.
I recently heard skunking may have to do with the temperature beer is kept at. On a beer forum, no less. Hilarious.
Depends on when the skunks were added in the brewing process. I like a good whirlpool skunk addition and a 5 day dry skunk. Once you cold crash, don't bring it back up to room temp, though.
Ever try a mash addition? Mash skunking is da bomb.
I'll have to try that. The closest I've done is first wort skunking.
Try an overnight mash with a live skunk for the ultimate effect.
Even I can still make that mistake for a second or two on occasion. Even some German Breweries still feature plato prominently. Before I got into craft I actually spotted it easier since I though beer can´t have that much alcohol. Now I´ve had 21% beer that has not even been freeze distilled...Many Chinese beers print the Plato OG on the front of the label while hiding the ABV in the fine print on the back. 1.4 billion people (yes, including the children) think they're drinking 8-10% brew when it's really 2.5-3.5%. Makes for some interesting conversations when people try my 5-6% homebrews and try to educate me on how Tsingtao, Harbin, and Snow are making their beers almost twice as strong as mine. I've even met homebrewers here who make this mistake, though almost anyone with more than a couple brews under his belt has got that straightened out.
