Funny things you've overheard about beer

[rlmiller10]

I was just messin' brother... but I'd rather settle this with something I'm a little more comfortable with.

Wow, now that looks fun. Did Karate for several years, Okinawan style, but never kendo.

And my reply was tongue in cheek as well. Some days I feel like at least one foot is in the grave.

I actually practice Kumdo, which is the Korean version... very similar, Kumdo seems a bit more aggressive to me but a little less rigid. We also practice Kum Bup, or battlefield patterns with a Mokgum and I enjoy that very much. Relaxing and intense at the same time.

Martial arts are great for the soul.

Wait you brew beer and are a Jedi?

That is awesome!

Yes they are! Trained about 14 months in Okinawan karate and Ju Jitsu and LOVED it! Did about a month with a bokken (wooden practice sword) so I can appreciate the skill involved.

The sam adams comment made me laugh out loud

 

[Trippel-A]

Yesterday on a chat thread, I saw a lot of the old "drinking a Guinness is like eating a loaf of bread" comments. Even comparison to pumpernickel, which is wrong on every dimension except color.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Oh, does anyone else remember the old saying that I heard a lot when I was just starting to drink.

"You can survive off of nothing but Guinness and an Orange"

Apparently by drinking nothing but Guinness and eating one orange a day you will get all the vitamins and minerals and everything else you need to stay healthy.

Anyone care to test this for us?

Don't know if you read this, but a guy did do a Lenten beer fast back in 2011, and blogged his progress. Granted, he was drinking doppelbock, which has a lot more substance to it than Guinness.

Are we talking Stout ? Or Guinness ? I'll test it with a beer I like better than G

this is going in my other thread! I may use that one.

would a dark, roasty ale with Amarillo & Citra have the same effect?

No, quite the opposite actually, it would be lethal.

that might explain my lack of a pulse

There was a TV show with a guy doing it with Guinness and no orange that I saw once. He lost a bunch of weight bc Guinness doesn't have enough calories. He also was tired all the time. Didn't look fun at all to me.

An old science teacher once told us you could survive on Pepsi and peanut m&ms if you were ever trapped somewhere that only had vending machines. I like the beer and an orange better.

I think I could live off nothing but Guinness and the Golden Corral buffet. I think some TV show should pay me to try THAT experiment for a month...

I don't think anyone would want to watch your colon explode.

Funny thing about buffets... most people don't realize it, but you actually are not required to eat to the near-puking stage of satiety. They will actually allow you to have a light salad and a little baked fish, maybe with some fruit for dessert, and call it a night.

Excuse me! I thought this was America!


I can't eat buffet food...something about it does not agree. Might be too many things at once. Or all the wings...

Last time we were at Golden Corral SWMBO went to the steak counter and asked what kind of steak it was, the guy serving it got a puzzled look and replied "steak?" in an unsure voice. She won't go back now lol.

Just last night from a friend while drinking a Labatt's Blue: "I hate lagers"

When I informed him that he was drinking one, he said: "No, lagers are like Sam Adams"

Just last night I was in a bar drinking an ipa, and this guy next to me chatted me up. After questioning me about the ipa, he proceeded to tell me about how he and his buddy in the Navy went around the world drinking the "local" beer.

Big long story short, he ended it by saying "but I don't like that Sam adams crap at all", and when I asked which Sam adams beer he didn't like, he said "well you know, Sam adams... like Boston lager?" (everyone around could tell that he was knocking Sam adams simply for the sake of conversation, and had probably drank bmc all over the world)

My family and I will be leaving to eat at a buffet very shortly. The local National Park Lodge has a special buffet of American game food once a year.

There will be:
Buffalo steaks and roasts
Buffalo meat loaf
Venison and rabbit stew
Catfish
Turtle soup
...I could go on. All of it prepared under the supervision of a professional chef. Buffet eating is the bees-knees tonight. And yeah, the whole family will eat until we can't see straight. :cross:

 

[catdaddy66]

I went to the LHBS and was buying some bulk grain. A couple of guys came in and the owner went to help them while another regular and I chatted. I heard the two customers asking about wort chillers and kegs for their hobby. When they leave the owner tells us that they ignored every bit of instruction they read and what he had suggested as well with their initial extract kit. Seems that they were "drinking" under fermented wort that was under a week old out of the primary... Yeah.

I lol'd

Something else they don't tell you. they give you smaller plates so you take less, and put the cheaper more filling foods towards the beginning of the line.

Sounds amazing. What is the beer situation like?

Add in some roasted dove breast, whole fried bream, wild hog sausages, fried venison, fried rabbit, fried rattlesnake, steamed river mussels, clams, gulf seafood, and I'd be game. Get a taste of the country. Fried. I do wonder how a real buffalo tastes, Though... care to write us a review?

And do they have APA'S on tap?

 

[1977Brewer]

Buffalo is good meat. Real good.

I'm down for buffet any time.

 

[beerenstein]

I like venison burgers, but you have to mix it with a certain percentage of wild hog for it to be really great. If anyone wants my opinion, just ask and I'll tell the percentage on here.
