Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Kirkwooder]

Beer does taste way better when it crosses sovereign borders. It really gives it that foreign taste.

Yeah like the beer we used to "liberate" from the neighbors fridge when we were young. That was the best beer ever, at the time!

[fuzzy2133]

Free beer is always good beer. If you ask my father in law what his favorite beer is, his reply is always, "O P" (other people's).

Never thought I'd hear someone try to pronounce IPA as a word myself, but it happened yesterday: "I'd like the Little Rain ippa, please." Just made me smile...

 

[soccerdad]

I always thought it was pronounced EEPA. That's what Pliny told me anyway.

I pronounce it "Eepaahhh", like the people of the IPA Valley.

Here in Sweden it is normal for people to pronounce it like a Swedish word and not like an abriviation from the English language. You kinda get used to it, but it still annoys me to a certain extend. Though I have cought myself hating it more when being used that way by hipster folk. My regular crowd knows better yet they are used to that way.

Writing this I feel so snobby, even though I hardly ever correct anyone. Only when they look at me weird or comment when I say it "right"....

 

[drainbamage]

Why do you guys keep pronouncing eye-pah wrong? :cross:

After living in Mexico, and then Norway, it's officially pronounced eepah...

 

[Billy-Klubb]

when you're hammered and trying to order another, it's perfectly acceptable to pronounce it "EEee-PAAAAAaaahaaaahhhhhh!!!!!"

Snobs have moved on, and prefer to correct the pronunciation of Westvleteren.

I don't want to be THAT guy but, you're all wrong. It is correctly pronounced "Ya". The p is silent and the ia sounds as in Asia. Please try to get it right.

A lot of that will need to be drank too forget how sad the game will be for Texas

That's not how they pronounce it in the great IPA Valley.ipe:

Perhaps you'd be so kind as to tell them they're also wrong. I would but I think it would be better coming from you.

Take me down to the IPA Valley,
Where the hops are green and the girls are.....named Sally...?

Sorry, kinda lost track on where I was going with that.

and the girls are brewing!
Oh yea drink me home...

 

[mattd2]

and the girls are brewing!
Oh yea this beers made at home yeah yeah...

More in line with homebrewing

 

[unionrdr]

We're learning here that hackers & home brewing definitely don't mix! In the words of Duke Nukem," I'm really getting tired of this crap"!

 

[Wolfdust]

Coworker to me. "I was at beer festival and all the beers were like yours, real thick and strong. (I let him try a heffewiesen)." me "what beers did you try?" him " Sierra Nevada in the green cans and one in a brown bottle(found out it was ruthless rye). That's all I stand, I too lit up afterwards. " facepalm

 

[cyanmonkey]

Yeah, I gave some of my 4.5% brown porter to my MIL's bf and he said it gave him a good buzz. I'm wondering what made this buzz any different than BMC he topically drinks?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

it's funny how non-beer nerds correlate dark with high ABV percentage. many years ago I brewed a 4% Sweet Stout. I was drinking one when my in-laws were visiting. i heard comments like, "Boy, that looks like it'll mess you up." and "Wow! That looks like a strong beer!" then when you explain to them the lower alcohol content and they glaze over and keep chugging BL (which I still have one or two in the basement).

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah, I've gotten remarks like that, or blank, quizzical stares when I try to explain how they really are. I guess we all do now & then.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

According to my family, if it isn't yellow, it's dark. Ambers aren't quite as bad as tar like Guinness, but they're still s00per dark too. You can even taste the darkness. Don't ask me how, but apparently you can.

My dad's the same way. ShinerBock is too thick, SNPA is thick and boozy, anything close to black is just undrinkable.

Cool, more good beers for me.

FACT! my in-laws don't like dark beers like "Bud Heavy".

and I guy I work with told me the whole "Bock beer comes from the bottom of the barrel" thing the other day. I over corrected him.

 

[mcspanner]

If dark equals high abv gin and vodka must be alcohol free. I'm going to down a bottle of each before work tomorrow.
