Funny things you've overheard about beer

If she doesn't get up to pour his beer, how can she spit in it?

A little extra amalayse never hurts a beer!

I bet 2-1 over the years they've swapped some spit.

 

[ChshreCat]

Yeah, but I doubt she hocks it up from the deep end when they do that. :cross:

A friend of mine owns a local bottle shop. a woman walked in the shop carrying an empty growler. The growler was printed with the shop's name. She says, "I believe this is yours", to my friend Kara, "my son brought this home." Kara explained that she is not a video store, and that the woman's son had purchased the growler and it was theirs to keep.

Might be time for the son to move away from home.

Had a similar situation, I help out at a small brewery and one Sunday afternoon a lady came in with 2 growlers, she asked for the deposit back on "these jugs my husband brought home". Tried to explain the he bought them, she didn't get it. Then she decides to leave them there because she doesn't want them in the house, ten minutes later here comes the husband to reclaim his growlers! He did not look too happy.

I still can't figure out why growlers come with caps. A straw would be better. Or maybe a little cup like cough medicine. But a cap??? What for???

For transportation. Most states outside of Texas have Open Container laws. The cap makes it a closed container.

I think he was being facetious

Okay, I damn near choked to death on some licorice right there.. LOL.

Texas also has a very rigid Open Container law. Not sure why you excluded us here.

Heard on morning radio recently (they were discussing the purchase of local Boulevard Brewing by Duvel):

Female DJ: Do you like beer?

Male DJ: I like the wheat beers. What I don't like are the ales...

Boulevard Wheat is an ale. I think he should have just answered "No!"

Boulevard got bought? Where have I been?

 

[NuclearRich]

Under a rock!

Duvel bought em.

 

[BeerGrylls]

I missed it too, but maybe that has something to do with the increased distribution I've seen on Boulevard brews lately.

They dont take over until the first of the year. nothing will change (at least thats what they say) but duvel is now their cash cow and is probably going to ramp up production and try to distribute is all 50 states

 

[Halbrust]

Me (to friend): This is the beer that tastes like sweat
Wife: I thought you said you liked it!
Me: I do like it
Wife: That's gross
Me: I know. It took me a while to realize I liked the taste of sweat
Friend: I don't think I want any

Conversation regarding a saisson

 

[jimdkc]

Boulevard got bought? Where have I been?

It was announced about a month ago.

Seems like a pretty good deal for Boulevard. They'll stay local. They will benefit from Duvel's distribution channels. Duvel should expand Boulevard's output sooner rather than later (Boulevard has the capability to expand their current brewery from about 200,000 barrels per year to 600,000 barrels per year.) Boulevard founder John McDonald is on the Board of Directors of Duvel. McDonald's kids weren't ready to take over when daddy retires.

Just recently got an anheuser busch keggle and was talking about it to a brew buddy. Somewhere in the conversation my girlfriend looked at me very confusingly and said, "What did you just ask him?" Anheuser Busch to her sounded like I had asked, "And how's your bush?"

 

[TungstenBeer]

This one surely has been done to death... but it still gets me every time I don't recognize a beer in a bar (and one that doesn't have a very descriptive name either) and I ask the waitress/bartender what kind it is. "It's like an ale..."

I know I know, it's probably technically correct, but if someone asks you what time it is you don't say "daytime" either.

I typically just smile, say thank you, and order something else (or wait for another bartender).

Well actually it's not technically correct, if it was an ale it would be an ale... unless ofcoarse it was actually a lager, then saying "it is like an ale" would be correct as far as to say they are both beers but this one is not an ale

One of the best reasons for beer advocate. Just look it up and it replaces dumb servers easily

I do all the time; same as when the wife asks what I'm cooking for dinner I tell her food, and when she asks what kind I tell her delicious (you would think after 12 years together she would have learned not to bother asking).

 

[zachattack]

Agreed. Smartphones have made situations like this much easier.

 

[DrunkleJon]

for what style a beer is I will use BA. But I tend to search site:homebrewtalk.com the beer if I want to know if it is any good. I just find their reviews are all over the place and rather sensationalistic. I trust you guys and gals far more.

 

[zachattack]

Homebrewers are more open minded for sure.

 

[NuclearRich]

oh definitely take the reviews with a grain of salt, but at least you get to know what the hell the beer is. Especially useful for ambiguous names like clown shoes' muffin top, or tramp stamp.

 

[BeerGrylls]

Forget that.. It's one of the best reasons to ask for a sample. Every bar I go to will give me a taste if I'm not sure.

"...what I'm cooking for dinner...". Does she also ask where you bought your skirt?
