[Poindexter]

310. Having run out of room to "buy another Corny," you have to worry if kegs are going to kick out of the fridge in time for what is coming out of secondary.

 

[TexLaw]

311. While separating and packaging your 22.6 oz "pound" of Fuggle from Hops Direct, your four year old son picks up one of the stray leaves from the floor, sniffs it, and says: "Hmmm! Smells good! Smells like beer flowers!"

[Neomich]

316. You're sitting at a hotel bar and someone approaches you asking you if you're drinking a pitcher full of pepsi/cola due to your beer being so dark.

(just happened to me 20 seconds ago, it was quite funny seeing the look on their face when I said it was beer and NOT pepsi) Silly yankees!

Oh yeah, this is pitcher #2 so they're probably really confused at this point.

[Computertekguy]

339. When your Brew supplier calls you and your friends V.I.P

340. You've went to the brew shop 2 twice in one day, not because you forgot something, because two batches in one day isn't enough.
