Greatest Compliment EVER!!

so i am a bit of a hockey nut and SWMBO and i have tickets to the last home game to the UND Fighting Sioux hockey last night.

we are in-line at the beer stand and get a Leinie's Honeyweisse on tap.

SWMBO takes a drink and gets this sour expression on her face and asks if i brought any homebrews. SWMBO perfers my homebrew to commercial beer. :rockin: :rockin:


Must be doing something right!!

 

so what you are saying is that hockeyhunter sucks at brewing?

 

Take an elementary logic course, plz.

 

is this a Michigan/Wisconsin thing????

and thanks for the complement.

 

could be.

or they could just really really blow. i'm going with really, really blowing.

 

I brewed an Irish Stout and gave one to a friend. He says he hates dark beer but the one I gave him was better than anything else he has drank.

 

IDK,i think Leinenkugel's is way better than BMC. But that's me. That said,yes,HB's should be better. Otherwise,why would we obsess so much?lolz

 

so one of the worst compliments I can make is that you aren't a very good speller, OG. It's okay. Not trying to start anything (my attempt at humor)

 

And I thought this was going to be a thread about beer and food pairings.

 

Very valid point... I think we do obsess over it so much because it does taste WAY better

 

leine's is bmc.

 

Leinenkugel's i really do enjoy, i do miss their summer wheat. it's not the easiest thing to find on the west coast since i moved though but personally, i've never had a bad one (but then again, i've only had like 2 haha)

 

Are you talkin to me? Eh,i don't see anybody behind me,so ya gotta be talkin to me.lolz HB's referred to Home Brewers.:cross:

 

No, she's almost more of a Wisconsin advocate than most Wisconsin people. LOL. She hooked me up with a few beers and they were all Wisconsin and awesome.

 

yeah, yeah, yeah. i am a mediocre spellre. good thing science is my thing and not lanuage arts.

 

I think the more important point is that OP's wife tasted a beer I'm guessing she sort of liked or tolerated previously and now, after having drunk OP's beer, realizes what good beer actually tastes like.

 

"Greatest compliments" usually start with clothes flying off.

But I'd take the one you got. My wife doesn't even drink beer.

And Leiny Sunset Wheat is one of the worst beers. We can get it down here in the corner of the country, and I cannot explain why. Not a fan.

 

+1 for wife not drinking beer.
Or wine for that matter... She wants to know why I can't make something she likes. Amaretto is out, and she can't have ANY of that stuff right now, anyway!

 

This just in: Yooper Offended By Dick

 

Lol

 

One prop to Leiney that is also for Sam Adams is they are a gateway beer. It is the first non BMC (even though it is a BMC owned beer) that many people try, myself included. As you move up the beer food chain and develop your palate, you realize how "thin" they are flavorwise. But they give people a start in finding out about more flavorful beers.

I still enjoy Leiney's red, creamy dark, and 1888 bock. Their nut brown is nasty, as well as the summer offerings. IMO.

My father in law's name is Dick. Took me a long time to call him by his name. Just, Sir'. By the way, my wife's maiden name is Longfellow. Put that one together for a laugh.

 

I did.. and I laughed!

 

Me too

 

Dito this morning...fire in the hole!!

 

It's better than their other crap - Berry Weisse (wine cooler/cough syrup), Summer Shandy (lemonade beer), Honey Weisse, etc.

Sunset Wheat is still bad though. It's very very sweet...it's very popular with females.

 

The summer shandy is actually based on a solution a German pub owner/brewer came up with ages ago. He was running low on the light summer beer they drink over there in hot weather. But he did have plenty of this lemon soda sold in Germany.
So,as the story goes,he mixed them and it was a hit. I think the sunset wheat is pretty good for warm weather in the shade,waitin on the bbq pit. But the berry wheat is a lil heavy. I'm going to experiment with a honey blueberry wheat myself. But maybe base it on a hefeweitzen. The paulaner hefe is great.

 

Nothing to do with the beer here. But have they come up with a replacement name for the Souix yet? I have played several times in that fantastic arena, and it is a shame to have it all changed for political corectness.
I haven't been down in the area for a while now, but last time I was around there, it was going to a public opinion poll, so have they decided yet.

 

This made me laugh because it brought back memories of pounding down Leinies returnables when I was in college in Minnesota.

 

+1 Fighting Sioux Hockey

 

If someone could help me with a recipe for Cotton Candy Vodka, I would get a compliment like this as well.

 

Played in the Barons tourney in GF a number of times, always on the weekend that Souix played the Gophers for the rights to the frozen four. Great times sitting back at Whitey's watching the two states going back and forth after every goal. Wish we had something like that up here. We have the juniors, but no TV coverage, the University stuff is an also ran.

 

State Legislature is looking to stop the removal of the name. it has passed the state house and will go to the state senate in a few days and then needs to be signed by the Gov.

The State Bill says that no party (Higher Board, NCAA, Sioux Nation, Etc.) can force the school to change the name. If they do, the state can pass a class-action lawsuit against the party.


And i have tickets to the Frozen Four in St. Paul this year. I am excited. don't care if the Sioux make it or not, i am also an Irish fan

 

LSSU is a shadow of what they once were! I went to a couple of Ferris State games this year. I love college hockey, especially in person. But I liked watching some of the other CCHA games this year on TV. They need to air more of them!

And yeah, except for Creamy Dark, I'm not a Leiney fan either. I've tried enough of them to know I don't want to try the rest... The last one I had tasted like thin fruit vomit...
