Funny things you've overheard about beer

[BeerGrylls]

Go start a new thread for this crap.. /grumpysanta

 

[brewguyver]

Watched a guy go through the free BMC beers at a spouses work event because he hadn't gotten them on untapped yet. He was fascinated by how "clear" they were.

Oh wait, that was me. Stupid untapped ...

Haha, sorry! it's an interesting debate and this thread is full of this crap already I mostly love the funny stories in the thread, but enjoy the ocasional side track. I'll shut up now

Another gem from the brewery this weekend. Guy comes in, ******* about the price of a new growler ($6) leaves. An hour later comes back in bitching because he dropped his growler and it shattered. Wants me to give him a new one for free. Tells me the growlers should be tougher than that. Not my fault the dumba$$ dropped a glass growler on a cement driveway from 6 feet up!

Did you try to sell him one of these? Hydro Flask Insulated Stainless Steel Wide Mouth Beer Growler, 64-Ounce :cross:

 

[unionrdr]

ha. You think dropping a growler is bad? In the book I'm writing,set in 2034,it's illegal to bottle or can beer to take home. In this new world order time,you have to go to a pub to drink at all. And beer's 12 credits per glass!

Why would you write such a horrible thing. At least in Fahrenheit 451 you got to be a pyro!

In this world gone mad, we will not drink the beer - THE BEER WILL DRINK US! :cross:

All hope is gone. I was promised the future would be better.

Ha. Funny stuff sometimes. But in this story FEMA camps & The New World Order are the rule of the day. An Orwellian,dystopian world for sure. The main character,having been a home brewer years ago,is saved from the camps by being able to brew craft beer. How's that for a saving grace?
Besides,it's up to him & his small circle of friends to try & reverse the process used to turn the world upside down overnight. Since some quantum mechanics & magnetic field theory are involved,I E-Mailed NASA Glen Research Center For theoretical possibilities of how this might be done within the context of the story. 1984 goes high tech in the real world context of today vs the near future. Kinda like the beginning of Mad Max,"a few years from now...".

I'm getting this image of an elderly man saying: "Ya know sonny when I was your age, a beer was just three credits! Boy those where the days."

I would never buy this book. I'm not a fan of horror stories.
Just for some reference, what is 12 credits in today's dollars?

So far,the working title is "Time Lords 2034". In this time line,they're mastering time travel & changing things at the same time.

Ha,horror story. It's dystopian sci-fi,but some things in the story are frightening. That's the whole point. in my mind/this story,dollars are replaced by credits. So $1 equals 1 credit. No more denominations. Like in Star Trek.

1064 - And it is a story about the big beer conglomerates taking over the world of homebrewing where you are only allowed to make fizzy yellow beers.

Fizzy yellow beer is for wussies! Will Greg Koch be an obscure hero/legend who comes to the protagonist's aid?

I'm picturing Koch as a head in a tank, like in Futurama

I saw this on Beeradvocate :smack:

This was in the taste section of a barleywine I was looking up

"Despite the slight booziness and high alcohol, the beer is smooth as silk and drinks pleasantly smooth."

I didnt think a beer could be boozy and smooth?!

Didn't know it could be both smooth and pleasantly smooth in the same sentence either. :smack:
