Buffalo Wild Wings

[MisterTipsy]

Who here isn't wearing goggles while brewing? I thought it was standard.

RDWHAHB. If you can't laugh at yourself, everybody else will do it for you.

This is our chick-fil-a!

Star-San. C'mon, guy, C'mon, do I have to tell you again. Star-San everywhere and on everything.

And don't forget your breathing filter mask.

They aren't the best wings in the world but they aren't bad. I have one opening 2 blocks from my house next week. Decent wings, good beer selection, walking distance from the house and just about every game on Saturdays I will be spending some college football watching time there

 

[govner1]

My general impression is that their food is mediocre & the service is worse.
Fortunately I have many alternatives for good food & craft beers so I never returned after my first visit.

 

[user 30639]

Ok. Some of you are being a little sensitive. That was pretty funny. Let's take a joke people.

Pretty much. I saw the commercial, then figured I'd head over to HBT to see all the people with their panties in a bunch. I was not disappointed.

Homebrewers are just collateral damage -- they're trying to reach into the brain of the BMC drinker, and silence that little voice that keeps insisting "hey, maybe those guys with their funny beers are onto something, and I'm the schmuck who's missing the boat..."

This.

Home Brewers are not their target audience. Its the guy who kinda likes those "other" beers, but cant shake his conformity to the 'In Crowd". The bitter beer face believers who think triple hopped beer is something new. Your probably never going to pry the Bud Light from his hand as long as the group he places his self worth in, has control of the strings. That's alright. Its their loss. I drink great beer. I drink fantastic beer. I hang out with those who love and drink Incredibly fabulous beer. Beer we make, talk about, worry over and are proud of. Prosit!

On the other hand, Do you remember the first time you saw a bubbling carboy, with some brown sludge in the bottom and foam spewing out the blowoff, and remember what you thought at the time. " I'm going to drink this?"

 

[Swifty]

Eh. It's just stereotyping. They had to go somewhere because, as everyone knows, it ain't right to say that:

Jews are tight with money
Blacks are criminals
Asians can't drive
Homosexual males are effeminate
Mexicans pick beans
Blondes are dumb
Blah, blah, blah.

I bet they had to really scrape the bottom of the bucket for some group to make fun of.

Also you can blame the brewers who keep putting weird things in their beer, like bacon.

Well put! I think this is why fat people get the grief they get too. There's an old movie that I only caught part of where the white trash family's farm failed. As they leave the boy sees that the black neighbor is weeping over his new dead mule. He looks at his father and his dad says, "Gotta be better than someone." People suck.

 

[Swifty]

BTW. I'm on the fence with the commercial. I love wings. Even bad wings. I'd go to BWW in a heartbeat and demolish just about any wing they put infringement of me. I look to my brew club for beer or technique critiques and I have a bud in my kegerator for the guys who come over but also squat to pee.

 

[Zuljin]

Ya know what? Screw wings. Really. They make no sense.

Give me breasts and thighs. I want chicken. Gimme some chicken parts with actual chicken on them. Hell, at least some full grown wings and legs. Not this bull crap baby chicken parts. Nuggets with bones is all they are.

I could see if it were a survival situation. If I were lost in the woods with a broken leg and some little bird that fell out the nest is all I could catch. If times were tough and little bitty chicken parts is all we could get. Calling ketchup tomato soup and sopping a biscuit in the shadow of a ham bone. Yeah. Ya gotta make do. But that's all these pathetic little food scraps are. That's getting by food.

Oh, but it's about the sauces and spices. Oh but nothin. You can put all that on full grown chicken and call yourself actually eating something.

Buffalo wings. What a fleecing.

Lighten up Francis.

 

[bottlebomber]

I thought it was funny. I'm not someone who takes myself or others too seriously, so there's no possible way I could get offended by something like this. As far as driving people away from homebrewing - good. I'm checking Hopsdirect daily to get my order in before the rest of you knuckleheads as it is

 

[shizzy77]

I thought it was funny.

Also, when I'm in the mood for crappy beer, Marginal wings and lousy service, I go to Hooters.

 

[rexbanner]

That ad pissed me off. I love BWW but this makes me not want to go there. I don't go around badmouthing their hormone-injected chicken and vat sauce. For many people that ad will be the introduction to homebrewing. I guess it doesn't matter in the end, but still...c'mon guys.

 

[Sir Humpsalot]

What? Nobody else watched that commercial and suddenly started formulating a recipe for bratwurst beer?

It must just be me then...

 

[govner1]

Stupid ad & lousy food!

 

[sweetcell]

i walked into my local BWW the other day. they had 34 beers on tap, 6 of which were interesting craft beers. they had another half-dozen ok beers (sam adams, etc) and about 20 BMCs. so if i had to hang out there, they would have enough to keep me interested.

finally saw the commercial on TV. i think it's funny, then again i like laughing at myself

 

[cricky101]

I thought that commercial was hilarious - and the bratwurst beer seems like something someone would lovingly brew and document right on this site!

 

[crosschk]

I bet if they had made it a bacon beer, all LHBS around the country would suddenly run out of carboys and LME

I can make Bacon Beer? Tires marks left in the driveway

Bacon beer is pretty good

 

[JeepDiver]

Went to the Bdubs that just opened by me. Good wings and decent beer selection (about 7 CO beers, 2 Sam Adams, couple of ciders, a few micros and "good" BMC selection (shock top, blue moon, etc)

 

[HoozierDaddy]

I'm most offended by the fact that they were drinking hefeweizen.

 

[david_42]

Don't know the company and didn't watch the commercial, but just looking at the still makes me wonder what kind of idiot is behind it all?

 

[Hackwood]

Why? We don't need everyone homebrewing. If even half of the people I knew tried homebrewing, it probably WOULD look like that setup in the commerical. Come to think of it... I love that they made this commercial. Keep the derps out of a hobby that requires attention to detail, sanitization, and a bit of intelligence!

Just what I was thinking. I laugh my @$$ off when I first saw this commercial and every person that knows that I brew brought it up the next time I saw them.

FUNNY STUFF if you ask me.

 

[BrewDey]

I thought it was kinda funny. And really it shows that bdubs is freaking out that people have realized that there is no reason to go to bdubs for football when one can thoroughly enjoy all the games at home. For far less $$ I get to control the games I see through directtv...eat much better food from my grill and crockpot...and drink much better beer from my own tap. Its a no brainer and many have realized this. So all they can do is ridicule the lack of ambiance because that's all they have to offer (and that is very debatable)...at my house we get just as rowdy on Sundays with good food and tasty flowing beer. Haters can hate but we've got it figured out Imo.

 

[jgerard]

I loved this commercial! Just shows you how popular homebrewing is getting. Everyone knows someone who brews, it is a timely joke. I really don't think they were trying to offend anyone or bash homebrewing.... its just a commercial about football and chicken wings. =)
