The stupidest comment on your beer

Jim Karr · Feb 11, 2008

What is the absolutely stupidest thing anyone has said to you concerning how your beer tastes?

I gave some to my chiropractor, somehow expecting a somewhat intelligent comment, since he appears to be a somewhat intelligent person.

He said, "Wow, that stuff had quite a kick!"

My SWMBO, (love her to death), always takes her first taste of something new, and says, "Kind of heavy!"

DUH

Funny - I've had both of those comments too. I don't know if they're "stupid" comments, just people trying to describe what they're tasting without the correct words to describe what they like or don't like.

I get "dark" quite a bit too. Most of my beers aren't dark at all, but I guess anything that isn't piss-yellow and fizzy is "dark".

c.n.budz · Feb 11, 2008

Them, "I thought it would taste different"

Me, "Different than what?"

Them, "I don't know, just different..."

Me, "Go home"

olllllo · Feb 11, 2008

Them: "I don't like beer but I like your beer."
Me: "Thanks!"
In my head: "WTF? Then you like beer, genius."

From the Bud Light crowd:

"Is this a porter?"

when I hand them an amber.

Friend trying The Hobgoblen.. . "Man this thing is hoppy" Me "WTF you mean malty" No its really hoppy..

My roommate, whenever we crack open a cream ale (PM'd with some flaked corn as adjunct) THAT HE BREWED, says "you can really taste the cream", like it had dairy or something. It's awesome.

Yuri_Rage · Feb 11, 2008

About a superhopped IPA:
"Wow, you really used a lot of holiday spices!"

About a MALTY Scottish ale:
"This is REALLY hoppy! Good thing...I love hops!"

About anything darker than BMC (from the same guy more than once):
"This is supposed to be like Guinness, huh?"

About ALL of my beer (from a BMC-sworn friend);
"This is good beer...for someone else."

"Man! That stuff will get you drunk!

Which one did you like the best?

Man! That stuff will get you drunk!

"You should have added a couple more pounds of 2-row & boosted the gravity."

It's a freak'n Schwartzbier, not an RIS!

Bernie Brewer · Feb 11, 2008

SWMBO, whenever I pour myself a Bock or Brown Ale:

"Looks like motor oil." (she doesn't like beer)

My BIL when I handed him a homebrew for the first time:

"Is this going to give me the sh!ts??"

Chris_Dog · Feb 11, 2008

My BIL always he says he loves it. Even my piss poor first Mr. Beer batch. This is unfortunate because other than myself he drinks the most. I could really use an honest opinion from time to time.

freyguy · Feb 11, 2008

From a few BMC'ers about my 5% pale ale...

"It's good, but I couldn't drink more than one."

Greggy · Feb 11, 2008

About my wheat beer from my BMC friend:

I don't like this beer (honey weizen).. it's cloudy.

EdWort · Feb 11, 2008

One of SWMBO's friends said "Hey, this tastes like real beer"

Jesse17 · Feb 11, 2008

I bought a sixer of Moose Drool (Brown Ale) and Fat Tire (Belgin Amber Ale). The checker (who I know) asked me "Are these Ales or Porters?"

MULE · Feb 11, 2008

About my Honey Pale Ale.... from the hot blond chick next door.
Her ...."Wow I would buy this. It doesn't make me burp that nasty stuff"
Me .... "Great! Here is another"
SWMBO .... "......"
Me .... "What ?? She likes it"

:mug:

capcrnch · Feb 11, 2008

68 year old Filipino Mother in law:
"It's such a waste to leave beer in the bottom of the bottle like that. Can't you just drink it? Or filter it out like Budweiser?"

40 year old drinking buddy:
"Leave some in the bottle? F that, ill chew that crap if I have to"

Sidenote:
At the end of the night, in a complete drunked stupor, he did in fact, "chew that crap". He emptied all the bottles (about 15-20) into one large glass and drank/chewed all of our sediment.

Ummm, I don't know if I would drink any more of his brews......

andypantz13 · Feb 12, 2008

Upon trying my RIS
"Wow it really tastes a lot like Guinness"

Giving a Fat Tire clone that I had named Fat Tired and Lazy to a friends girlfriend, and upon her learning the name:
"Wait! why'd you give me THIS one?"

That's pretty funny

ohiobrewtus · Feb 12, 2008

The most common one I get is "I don't like dark beers". Second most common is "You made this?"

BuffaloSabresBrewer · Feb 12, 2008

does it taste like beer?

niquejim · Feb 12, 2008

From a co-worker
"I know good beer(Red Stripe) and this isn't it."
A month later
" Have you got any better beers for me to try"

Me
"NO"

cd2448 · Feb 12, 2008

from someone i thought would know better:

him: heh this is good, taste's like sam adams lager
me: it's an ipa

Willy Boner · Feb 12, 2008

My SWMBO the first time she tasted my brews, That's pretty good, still tastes yucky but it's good.
