Bells' "Oberon" is awesome like this. My wife and I call em "Beermosas." They're wonderful after a wild night in the morning with toast/eggs.
Hey, more power to you. I don't get it, but it seems others do. To each his/her own I guess.

I've got a friend who on occasion mixes orange juice with beer. I don't get it, but I drink beer that stands on it's own as far as taste is concerned.

Did you know about this BEFORE you dated her????
PilotCline said:Nope. Happened around date 3. The first few she had some of the craft beers that the restaurants offered. I guess she was trying to dole out her crazy slowly!
I have a friend who insists on sprinkling a little salt into every glass of draft beer she buys. She says it helps dissipate the head quickly, so she can get to drinking the beer without all that annoying foam getting in the way.
Tell her to rub her finger on her face and plunge that finger into her beer...
I went home for Christmas and brought a case of beer that i made for each brother. So I go to pour a beer for one of them because he doesn't drink really. So I give him the glass and he sticks his finger in. So I say wtf dude? He says it's not supposed to have foam...

Ooo... I like that idea! We've got a winter beer festival coming up here next month, too; I could use some ideas. Maybe a side-thread for deliberately obtuse beer-related comments intended to provoke the ire of eavesdropping beer snobs?
"I dunno about this beer festival, man. Do you think any of the breweries will be serving any lagers, or is it all just beer?"
We could have a lot of fun with this.
Jeezus, I'd hate to see the look on your face if you smelled a sour or wheat. :cross:
Buddy hanging out while I was brewing:
Buddy: "What's that stuff you're spraying on everything?"
Me: "Sanitizer, but it's cool. It's food grade. You could actually ingest it and be fine, and it doesn't affect the beer's flavor."
Buddy: Squirt, squirt in the mouth..."HACCCHHH, HACCCHHH! Why'd you let me do that???"
Another time...
Buddy: "Is it ok to eat one of these pellets?"
Me: "Yeah, but I wouldn't..."
Buddy: Chomp, chomp "Oh, citrusy and bitter!"
Me: "Good luck with that."
Buddy: "Ahh, that's intense."
Me: "Yep."
Buddy: Later, "Oh, that really stays with you."
Buddy: Next day, "Man, I tried brushing my teeth...didn't really help."
'Round my house we have a rule: if you make a pellet drop on the ground, you HAVE to eat it... to appease the god Humulus Lupulus.

Last night, I went out to a local pint night, which is a great place for beer. However, the new girl, a young dumb waitress tried to wipe off the small amount of foam, off the top. I saw her going for it and asked what the heck she was doing. she replied "Eww, you like that stuff?"
I said "Yes, it helps bring out the aroma." She walked away still confused that I wanted the head on my beer...
What was she wiping it off with? Really if you have draft taps you should at least tell you staff how to pour a beer.
I can understand the little head (most people want "value for money") but getting rid of the minimal head on my beer all together is just wrong.
Brewed yesterday and had a few friends over to help and eat ribs. I brewed a black IPA and used apollo hops...
Buddy grabs a pellet and says " how bitter can they be?"
I says "it's really bitter...one of the bitterest out there I wouldn't eat one"
Other buddy says "oh yeah...i can handle it" and grabs a few...pops them in his mouth and starts chewing and then gets ready to spit them out
I says "hey don't spit those out I had to get them from California!"
To see his face turn inside out was priceless!

I'll admit that I have done it. Once.
