Funny things you've overheard about beer

[cpl-america]

Also depends on the smell.

If it smells like tilapia, don't let her on top of ya.

Ah, that's where the pave hawk that came down in January was based wasn't it? Tragic accident that.

Nice part of the world though.

Went to BJs and the bud light drinker in the group tried all the beers I got and had the same opinion, "nice nose, but I wouldn't drink that"

*squinting "Quit starin' at my nose pal and drink the @#$%n' beer."

WOW

talk about crude, so you do not associate by choice of beer
how about color of skin?

Those things can exist together?

Yeah, one of the pilots was a fellow brewer.

At a local place that has a pretty good beer selection. I asked the waiter what the Ale Syndicate Sunday Session is like. He said, "It's an ale... well, yeah..." No further description came forth, so I ordered the Bell's Harry Magill's spiced stout, which was great. No harm, no foul.

You remind me of my father. He didn't discriminate at all though. He hated everyone.

Can't the media find people who drink beer to write articles about beer? It's no wonder the general public still thinks anything darker than Budweiser is an ale (and therefore heavy and undrinkable).

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/picky-americans-snub-domestic-light-105307612.html

“There will always be a place for ‘Big Lager’ as it’s more drinkable in the sense that one can have many lagers but only a few dark beers,” says Euromonitor International analyst Edward Hsyeh. “The dark beers are heavy in body, so there can only be so much ‘share of the stomach’ they possess.”

Volume sales of lager—a lighter style of beer—have fallen every year since 2009 except 2012

 

[MedicMang]

I drink MANY lagers vs huge ales like Guinness. Mostly because I like to pee a lot.

Pfft, I only drink Guinness 'cuz it's soooo heavy and it stretches my stomach out. Then I go do professional eating challenges and get my meals for free. I'm having a 12-egg omelet with pancakes and a pound of bacon for breakfast as we speak. Booyah.

 

[unionrdr]

Sounds like an episode of Man vs Food I saw once! If I was on a long road trip,I could eat that much. Speaking of that,I always thought it'd be cool to map out a trip with the mvf & tripleD spots marked for places to stop.

Haha, yeah that's exactly what I was thinking of. I think 10 years ago I could have dominated some of those challenges, but probably not anymore. I'd probably have better luck with the spicy food challenges, as long as I had a private restroom nearby to deal with the inevitable conclusion.

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah,I've gotten to the age where I can't eat like a horse as I used to. I like hot stuff,but later it's "FIRE IN THE HOOOOLE!"...

The restaurants that he hit in Columbus are great. We hit Thurman's about every other month and Schmitts is probably my favorite restaurant of all time. Nothing like sausages and German beer all up in yo mouf. The Ohio Deli is just ok. The Dagwood challenge was easy.

I hit up Schmidt's a couple years ago while visiting some friends at OSU. Very good food.

...Aaaaand, thread successfully derailed again.

 

[MedicMang]

I'll bring it back with the same conversation. I took my gal to Schmidt's for valentines day last year. The table next to us were some loudmouths. I heard their drink order. The waiter started telling them about the great German beer selection that they have and the one guy interrupts the waiter and says, "I don't want none of that fancy stuff. I want a real beer. Budweiser in a bottle."

Me to waitstaff at brewery beerhall today: "Could you tell me the malt and hops in today's SMASH?"
Waitstaff: "I 'd be happy to check."
...
Waitstaff: "Simcoe is the hop"
Me: Dumb underwhelmed silence, then "Thankyou, I'll have the Black IPA."

...and yes, I did feel stupid for not pressing the issue, but the joint was busy.

Maybe nobody close at hand knew the malt, especially if they were busy.

True, true. The chalkboard could have revealed them, however. I'm sure >90% of the clientelle couldn't tell you what a SMASH is. Could be an icebreaker for the waitstaff. "By the way we're featuring a SMASH today with Simcoe and blah, blab... Several of our customer..." you get the picture.

Maybe I think too much like a marketer.

What does go well with Simcoe in a SMASH?

My first all grain brew was a SMASH with just 2-row pale malt and Simcoe. It was great! The pale malt let the Simcoe shine.

Do tell...Simcoe additions when against what weight for what size batch?

 

[Trippel-A]

Do tell...Simcoe additions when against what weight for what size batch?

It was Northern Brewer's 5gal SMASH kit.

7.75lbs pale malt, single infusion mash at 149°F for 60min.

3oz Simcoe hops: 0.5oz at 60min, 0.5oz at 15min, 1oz at 5min, 1oz of dry hops.

Because it was my first time with all grain, I didn't keep the mash temp high enough, had to add more hot water, etc. But it still turned out well. Lot's of lemony citrus.

The next SMASH I tried, I used 8lbs of pale malt and swapped Galaxy for Simcoe. Otherwise, same recipe. It didn't come out as well. Still decent, just not as good.

I have a button on my green flight that states "I don't discriminate. I hate everyone." I feel that people are dangerous animals with more intelligence than they know how to handle.


yesterday day I got the "man's beer" comment. I stopped in the local liquor store & picked up some Mike's Black Cherry for my wife. older guy behind me scoffed & made the comment. he was holding two 12 packs Coors Light. I pulled the Dr. Evil "rrrriiiiiiggghhht...." & stated "I have beers in my basement that would make you cry." he looked like he wanted to hit me. bwahahahaa!!
