Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Sojourn]

Some girls were asking about Duck Rabbit's Milk Stout and the bartender says, "I think it's because they put milk in it."

That is pretty funny. But seeing as though lactose is milk sugar, he's not too far off.

Yeah it could've been what he meant, but it gave me the image of curdles in my beer.

There is a new type of bud light out, I can't remember what it is called but it is pretty high in alcohol and supposed to be low calorie. These guys at the bar were bragging about it saying how strong it was and that it tasted like water. I told them that I thought bud light was supposed to taste like water, but they claimed that beer that strong doesn't usually taste as good as bud light.

Bud Light Platinum. It's like 6% or something. People who like to get trashed think it's liquid gold.

"Guinness is a meal."

Maybe for a 5 year old?

Hahaha beautiful. Those 200 calories... Awesome meal.

I overheard the manager of a liquor store - a rather large location, with a great selection and a number of locations in the area - telling a customer that cider is beer that they add apple juice to. And this was during a tasting of a new cider they started carrying.
Facepalm.

The best thing I have seen beer wise in a while was:

I was in Utah at a gas station, they had bud light and bud light platinum bottled next to each other and the bud light platinum was 2 dollars more a six pack.

Obviously in Utah they both have the same ABW.

I love seeing people act like they're "cultured" because they drink Blue Moon, too. Kudos for not drinking BMC,

But Blue Moon is part of the MC empire Maybe not the light lager, but it's still a BMC.

Oh crap, don't derail the thread...must come up with something relevant...um, here is something:

A few years ago I was sitting around drinking SNPA at a friend's house. Another guy stops by with a case of MGD and offers one to my friend. My friend says, "No way man, I don't drink that crap." Fast forward a couple years and now my friend only drinks Bud.

Yup, Blue Moon is made by Coors. Also same goes when people drink shock top. They think their drinking "craft" beer but it's actually made by Anheuser.

Yeah, that's kinda the point, plus even if it weren't, it's not a complex, imported beer by any means.

Both of those taste like crayons smell. Maybe it's just me.

My daughter says Blue Moon smells like potpourri.

 

[EnjoyGoodBeer]

I was in a restaurant in auburn Alabama and the menu listed domestic and imported beers. Sam Adams was listed under the imports!

Yup been like that for years were im at. Anythin that was craft was under imports. Retarted.

Yup and shock top is awful. Smack in the face for real beers. But the yuppies dig it up like BUd Light 6%. So sad. But hey more good beer fkr the Real Ale drinkers.

LMFAO............. I think I will make this my sig.

Ok, I know we are supposed to be beer snobs but sheesh. I mean I like what I brew, that's why I brew it. People like what they like. I don't like IPAs or really big stouts. I know that makes me uncool, but I like what I like, and so does everyone else, you know?

This thread took a turn. It's one thing to post amusing things people have said, but it's another to look down your nose at people who like beer you feel is beneath you. Remember guys, there's a big difference between beer enthusiast and beer snob.

 

[MrOrange]

I like what I like as well and know I hate Shocktop and Bluemoon. Just my opinion but they taste terrible.

 

[octo]

Overheard this gem of information, "The difference between an IPA and a red is that the hops are cooked longer in the red than they are in the IPA" .............. :fro:

 

[CGVT]

"Bock beer is the darker beer that they take from the bottom of the barrel"

Spoken by CGVT sometime around 1980...

 

[MisterTipsy]

Just yesterday one of my relatives said his favorite types of beer are stouts and ales. :facepalm:

Yo Mark, stouts are ales.

:crickets:

My thing is people who act like they're above BMC drinkers because they drink Blue Moon...who think that it's vastly superior in quality to BMC, etc. They're the ones being snobs, I'm merely pointing out they're really not drinking that great of beer.

I hear this almost daily.

I have to admit I didn't really know the difference at one point. Even if I knew Lagers and Ales, I couldn't tell you which a beer was unless it was printed on it. Once Budweiser started saying "The Great American Lager" I knew that all crappy light beers were "lagers" and I knew Bass was an ale, Harp was a lager, etc. because they printed it on the label!

I don't fault people for that because I figured you'd have to be obsessed with beer to know those things back then. It is funny to hear people act like they know the difference, though.

I was getting a tour at a brewery by their newest brewer. He later admitted he'd never homebrewed, and was still learning but these was the answer to one question:

The difference between dry hopping and wet hopping is that wet hopping is with pellets and dry hopping is with whole hops.

He later told me that his first beer he made the recipe for himself was about to come on tap and he really likes super bitter beers so he dry hopped the **** out of it at the end...

 

[ICWiener]

"Bock beer is the darker beer that they take from the bottom of the barrel"

That one is actually fairly common. My grandpa-in-law always tells me that the breweries "scrape the bottom of the barrels" and make their bocks with that stuff. Although he says that's why bocks are seasonal, because the brewery only does this at the end of the year.

I don't know. I want to tell him the truth, but he's such a nice old man, I can't bring myself to correct him.

I had a similar experience on a brewery tour, although it was not a brewer giving the tour.

The tour leader kept repeating that dry hopping made beer more bitter, I kept repeating that it didn't, and nobody else on the tour really gave a damn.

Yeah I was just buzzed enough to want to correct him and give people other answers and my wife just kept telling me to settle and have another beer
