Usually I answer that with "Don't you have a grill? Why waste all that time when McDonalds has a drive thru?"

The best was my step dad telling me " why do you keep trying to make beer just buy a case of Bud and call it a day " Meanwhile there's two carboys bubbling away !

Meatballs and Oscar Meyers wiener!
Talking beer with a new co worker who used to work in beer distribution. It seemed like he had tried a lot of brews, so at one point I asked him what he thought of Belgians.
"Oh, dude. LOVE Belgians."
"Yeah? Nice! Any in particular?"
"Love my Stella, that's top shelf."
".... Ah. Yup."
I know they're Belgian, but not in the way I meant... and I can't stand Stella. Beer snob'd? I'm trying not to be that guy, he's a friendly dude, but I'm just not sure how to explain what I really meant without coming off as holier than thou.

psssshh! I'm all like, "You drink s#!tty beer, b!*^h weasel!" then I punch them in the kidney and tell them I'm their beer master.:rockin:That can be one of the difficult parts of being a beer nerd. You want to share your passion with those around you, but not end up sounding condescending.
How do I know if they're good? Are you a retard,or what? If I don't gag-n-puke,& it tastes good & gives me a very plesant buzz...guess what?...IT'S GOOD!!:cross:

That is some really hard core dedication right there!!!
Not even, if its drinkable and gets me hammered im ok with it. Ive had beers ive been unhappy with, other people love, its all personal taste. Ill drink a miller lite or budweiser if its the only beer available, but i prefer a highly hopped ipa anyday, over ut.

So what you really meant was abbey or Trappist style ales?Talking beer with a new co worker who used to work in beer distribution. It seemed like he had tried a lot of brews, so at one point I asked him what he thought of Belgians.

Dark tastes like burnt toast
Until you give the a nice Munich style lager, or bock or doppelbock, then their eyebrows go up.

Do you not understand the irony in the guy, when asked if he likes Belgian beers, naming the Belgian equivalent of a Budweiser?[...]
Totally got it and thought it was an instant classic. Then things got a bit weird...
Cheers!
you must have been hanging out with my mom.
The Devil's in the details: If I had said "Things started out weird and got more weird with each passing moment 'til I was able to chew through the restraints and escape", that would have been hanging out with your mom...
hth
Cheers!

Anyway, One says "That was pretty good, Let me try stella and..... blue moon". I'm thinking wow! Girl ordering two beers at once?? I watch, the bartender fills the glass half full, and moves on to the next tap and finishes it!!!! Wait, What the hell just happened??? Is this a new trend? Can you really mix two completely different beers together and achieve perfection? Bud light and sierra nevada pale ale? Would it work?!?! I haven't been to a bar since..
I remember beer coming in "regular", "light" and "dark". I picked up a sixer of Michelob Dark once before I'd had real beer because I thought I felt adventurous. It tasted like soy sauce.
