The stupidest comment on your beer

EDIT: This is my 3,000th post! Suppose that's a stupid comment on how much time I've spent on this place, haha. Time to have a beer.

 

Hahaha, oh well. Now everyone pay attention to my other posts, and not all this other off topic stuff.

 

I hope the intended target wasn't me (I'm guessing it may have been since I'm the only one talking about competitions and BMC). I was not trolling in my comments, they were genuine. If they riled someone up, then they need some serious introspection on how a stranger on the Internet could have gotten their goose so easily and accidentally.

 

"Look! It's got head on it and everything!"

...well, duh

 

"looks like a guiness!" said co-working referring to my brown ale!

 

Well, compared to BMC it does look MORE like a Guinness...credit him/her for at least that much.

 

I had to laugh out loud at that one. Always funny when someone makes such a general comment.

 

I made a Cerveza style ale once, which is probably one of the cheapest beers you can make as absolutely no good beer ingredients are capable of being grown in Mexico. And when it was done I,,, enjoyed,,? one on its own but the rest of them were for micheladas. A little lime, worcestershire sauce, maggi sauce if you can find it instead, Tabasco and salt the rim of the glass. I was never into such things but after moving to Texas and broadening my tex-mex horizons, and it being 104 degrees like 400 days a year, you develop a taste for such things. But, yeah, that beer cost something like $16 to make so it was just a base for that cocktail and cheaper than corona by the case which I refuse to buy.

I'm vegetarian so brainless-animal or not, I don't drink clams. Also, most worch sauces aren't veg.

And if I made a porter and someone poured tomato juice in it I'd point to the door and say 'out'.

 

A Facebook message from my friend's mother when she found out that I was going to start brewing after I returned home from Afghanistan:

"good luck with your beer making, but igotta tell you i don't think you will ever beat Bud Light." [SIC]

Safe to say that in my opinion, and of my friend's around me, I succeeded in that with my first all grain batch.

 

I found out the other night that Bud Light Platinum is perfect as a base for adding blueberry-lemonade Mio.

 

Talking to a buddy about the IPA I was fermenting
co-worker asked - what is that?
Me - India Pale Ale
long pause
co-worker - so is that made on the reservation?

 

For the win!

 

Oof!

 

that, indeed, is win worthy. shoulda told him the best IPA comes from Pine Ridge, SD. the poorer the res, the better the beer tastes!

 

If you get this reply again mention that it is made with peyote hops that can only be grown on reservations due to US patent laws. (Sorry for the mispelling).

 

Talking to my partner at work yesterday about my 8.3% wee heavy. She says oh you're making malt liquor?

We do not live in Texas and she is not from there

 

Yeah that's a dumb comment, but might not be entirely her fault. Jersey has or used to have a dumb labeling law like that involving a certain ABV % threshold being labeled as such, and it still really confuses beer ignorant people haha

 

I don't think that's what paulster meant.

 

I have a recipe I call Blackened Vanilla Stout...its quite good...I cant keep enough of it brewed,my friends/family always clamour for more. At our 20th wedding anniversary party 2 cases of it were gone and all the store bought brews sat in the coolers..
that being said...I was quite proud of it and took some to a work related customer of mine...guy owns a nice restaurant...used to be a bar tender...figured he would appreciate it.

his reply...'Whew ..that s**t was like a punch in the face....cant you brew some Budweiser'

like why would I put the exspense and effort into trying to brew budweiser when you could buy it for less cost?

 

oh I see

 

Deleted by me for the sake of a better more friendly forum.

 

Hey how about we stop before this awesome thread gets shut down because of stupid bickering.

 

Seriously, nobody here will appreciate a dick swinging contest this early in the day...

Cheers!

My mom still uses ice in her beer on a hot summer day. She tryes all my home brews but insist tht she doesnt like dark beer.

Uh well she still trys anything I put in a glass.

On a side note this thread seems to be slowly derailing. Would hate to loosing it like "the tipping thread"

 

I don't think he was pulling rank. I didn't see anything in his short comment that made me think that. Honestly I had to read through your comment several times and I'm still not sure I understand it. But Pappers has threatened before to shut this thread down for this kind of back and forth, and that would really piss a lot of people off.

Hey, did you guys hear Obama brews beer?

 

PM sent

 

"Uhhh....so....can you use this thing to make whiskey?"

about my brew rig

 

I've heard that too, but about my wort chiller. I've also heard about the chiller, "And that's what you use to put the alcohol in your beer?"

 

My father when I dumped spent grain in my backyard for the deer, "man those deer are gonna catch a nice buzz huh?"

 

My buddy as he was brewing with me:

Can we drink this tonight after it cools?

 

Ah yes, I've gotten the moonshine comments from people after seeing my (old) copper coil IC. Although, it did look a bit more suspicious than it really was...

 

As i was brewing outside one day, a neighbor walks up and introduces themselves,

Neighbor: " hey so whatcha making?"
Me: just brewing a little beer
Neighbor: " oh yeah? This is a crazy looking setup you've got here"
(i brew AG but i was flushing out all my hoses and plate chiller)
Me: yeah it looks a lot more complicated than it is, its actually a prety simply setup
Neighbor; " yeah, i mean it looks like you could be making meth and stuff with all these hoses and pots"
Me: ha ha, yeah i get that a lot, looks like it could be sometig illegal, but its just for beer ha ha
Neighbor: " yeah well you know, i mean, if it was meth, i wouldnt mind at all"

::::awkward silence ::::

At that point i just made it out i was super busy and couldnt talk much, didnt feel like going down that road

 

You can probably thank breaking bad for the new found popularity for meth making haha since that show's debut I get these comments more and more.

 

I'm told I need to watch that show. I don't need to get addicted to anything else. The show I mean. Not meth.

 

It's probably the best (fiction) show on TV right now, and I say that without even the slightest exaggeration. There's only 8 episodes left (airing in the summer), and past seasons have been relatively short, so getting "addicted" really isn't much of an issue.
