I am confident I have a pretty good grasp on the English language. My neighbor, however, does not seem to understand the words coming out of my mouth.
3 weeks ago he waltzed up my driveway salivating at the thought that my IC was a coil for distilling.
No pal, sorry to disappoint, its just my wort chiller. Commence the obligatory
"Watcha doin?"
"Making Beer" blah blah blah.
Feeling uncharacteristically neighborly I gave him one of my ESB's to try.
"Hey, this is pretty good."
"Thanks"
"How much can I buy this for?"
"I can't sell it but I'll give you a couple to take home"
After a couple beers in the span of 10 minutes
"I'd sure like to buy some of this off you"
"I can't sell my beer"
"Man, I gotta buddy and we've been lookin for an investment"
"Oh, yeah?"
"Man, I gotta get him over here" and off he scampers to whatever singlewide trailer he stumbled out of.
FF 3 weeks to today (haven't seen him since last brew day) as I am weeding the garden.
Thankfully I brewed yesterday. I cannot have people around when I brew; I forget stuff.
"Hey, I got a couple buddies with bars that would really like to have something like yours available"
"I can't sell my beer"
"Well, it would go to me and then them"
"Sigh"
I have been thinking of a way to get around this conversation without being a dick for 3 weeks.
"The truth is, It takes about 6 hours each time and I don't have time to produce more than I already do. Plus, I have one more batch to make in 3 weeks and then I stop for the summer"
"Well can I buy a half rack off of you?"
