Funny things you've overheard about beer

[mcspanner]

I used to categorise beers as light or dark.....

Lol cheesy we were obviously typing that simultaneously.....I grew up drinking Guinness and smithwicks and hated anything light because I thought it had no flavour after trying some American beer at a barbecue.

I
Anyone else want to come forward and confess? We know you're out there, sinners.

Beer Lord, forgive me, for I have sinned.

I used to think that Pilsner and Lager were distinct styles, as well as Ale and Porter.

I used to think that beer was stored in the kegs flat, and carbonated as it was run through the taps like the BIaB sodas. (Makes zero sense, I know).

I used to think that the only difference between dark beer and light beer was how long it was boiled.

I used to think that bitter beer was a bad thing because Keystone ads told me so.

I used to think Budweiser was top-quality beer because it cost more than Keystone, and tasted slightly stronger.

it's ok buddy i lived on keystone when i was in college

.
+1.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Well, in college all bets are off - the quality of beer was always sacrificed for quantity - Milwaukee's Best, Keystone, Dreweries (shudder)

Haha my family when I was growing up drank BMC stuff. The "dark stuff" was for total badasses

Well that's still true isn't it?

 

[dkwolf]

I once liked Bud Ice. Please don't revoke my HB Membership Card. I was in college!!

Dude, I used to drink Bud Ice Light.

 

[Whattawort]

Well, now I don't feel so embarassed. Except for that one time a few weeks ago when I actually ordered a PBR. We were the visiting team in a dive bar and it was either that or really funky bud light draft. They didn't even have liquor.

 

[Black Island Brewer]

It was 1986, it was cheap, and it was Rhinelander. Don't remember the taste much, but it reminded me of Lucky Lager (my first taste of beer at 10 or so). Then I "stepped up" to Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve and Blue Boar Ale at home, Redhook ESB, Harp Lager or Bass Ale when I was out. Then I started homebrewing. Ruined me for life.

I could carry a sh!tload of Weinhards on my bicycle too.

I used to think that bitter beer was a bad thing because Keystone ads told me so.

I have since formed my own opinion that bitter beer is a bad thing.

 

[GuldTuborg]

There we are. Don't you all feel liberated after admitting to your sins and guilty pleasures?






BTW, thanks for all the blackmail material, guys.

I still feel shame

 

[Halbrust]

I used to tell people:
Bud light was better than Coors light
Bud light was better than Budweiser
Bud light in botles was better than Bud light in cans

 

[rockbasementbeer]

I was lucky enough to be raised in a brewing family who taught me about good beer when i was young, but i drank a ton of yeungling in highschool/college

 

[Billy-Klubb]

when I was 18 or so, I thought Guinness was the darkest, thickest, strongest tasting beer in the history of forever. now it tastes like dark water to me.

Water seems heavier at times.

Me and my buddy's once bought a hundred bucks worth of keystone I pushed a dolly stacked as high as it could hold and friend cared two more cases to the truck

whoa there buddy, a hundred bucks of keystone! way to buy the whole factory.

now everyone else has to drink natty light.

 

[amfukuda]

I was even surprised by how much we got. I knew it was cheap but damn

 

[Lazarous]

At a bare watching the game with a friend, we both ordered beers in 25 oz mugs. I got a racer x he got a Guinness. I sip on my racer knowing it's 8+% while my friend chugs his Guinness then proceeds to mock me and boast about chugging his "super strong" Guinness. I just chuckled to myself and shook my head

Now, now, there's always Milwaukee's Beast. Or Genny. Or St. Ives, even.

 

[MaxStout]

Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, Old Style, Special Export, Cold Spring, Red White & Blue, and Blatz were some of my low-dough college swills. If I was feeling rich I would spring for a sixer of Lowenbrau or Beck's.

 

[BigDaddyBeard]

I used to buy Olde English by the case

In April every year at CMU we had buggy races. The staging area was always a 16' box truck. One year (2000?) someone had the bright idea to drive the truck to the beer distributer, and buy 2 pallets of natty. Apparently we blew through that, got more, and that is how the t-shirt "a picture is worth 5424 beers" was born.

Your friend is a dink.

That said, about eight years ago I had this conversation with a buddy...

Me: Wow, I feel sloshed from that beer.
Friend: ...From just the one?
Me: Well, it was a Guinness.
Friend: Fair enough bro.

:smack:

There is a brewery near me that does flat beer in bags like soda and it gets carbed inline. Google tin man brewery evansville. The beers are lackluster for the most part and I can't help but think that's part of it.

In college, the Olde English 40 oz...

Wait... were you bare, or was your friend? Or were both of you bare together? I'm lost.
