Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Krovitz]

Gillette Stadium in Foxboro MA serves Sam Adams. They even had the winner of the Sam Adams homebrew challenge on tap a couple years back for the football season.

On topic, my mother got me a bottle of beer for Christmas. She told the employee at the liquor store I like IPAs. He said, "if he likes IPAs, he'll love this..."




I figure he is either clueless or an @$$hole.

It meant that they were trying to clear some stock!

Random "piney" hanging out at the liquor store (don't know if you guys will know what that is exactly, but it is NJ's version of a backwoods hillbilly, as they live in our large sections of "pinelands or pine barrens" in the southern portion of our state

"Sierra Nuh vaaa duh? What the hells that?"

Me: This is just a beer, it just a style called an IPA with lots of hops

Piney: whooooo bet that'll get you drunker than all the other stuff huh? I just drink jack, but I grew up on shine...

Love pineys. My cousin grew up in Tabernacle and when we go shooting with his piney friends, I tend to outshoot them. Then he busts their balls for being outshot by a city boy! :rockin:

We have great beer at our ballgames. Now, if we could only get a good ball team...

It's been awhile since I've been in Ohio, but I remember at Great American Ballpark they had a red brewed specifically for serving at Reds games at the park. This was pre 2008, but I remember it being a damn fine beer.

I just had a bottle of this... shockingly not skunked. I don't know tht I would drink it often (I found it to be a bit... bizarre), but I enjoyed it.

Definitely not an IPA, though.

My wife bought the same thing at the beer store based upon the "advice" of the clerk. I thanked her for thinking of me.

I had an Innis and Gunn a few years ago. This batch confirmed for me that I don't like their beer or anything Oaked.

Have you tried Firestone Walker's Parabola or Sucaba? Both amazing oaked beers.

Community America Ballpark here has Boulevard and Abita on tap. Nice I could get Turbodog for same price as a BL.

Guy serving Said "Dark Beer" when I asked what style Turbodog was. Then asked if I'd ever had a dark beer before. Only downside to the night.

You could have been the 50th guy that night to ask, and he was tired of explaining what a brown ale was.

True. Never thought of that part. I think I had 3 while I was there.

Most people are D!cks, but I try to be positive and give them the benefit of doubt.

Plus I was in a situation on evening where I had at least 50 people ask me what a short mead was. I'm sure by the end of the night I was being a little "short".

"It's a quick mead." Problem solved?

I actually talked to a vineyard/winery owner last weekend who'd never even heard of mead.

Just heard this at my place, I wake and say to the missus, "where's my sour beer that was on the coffee table"? She answers,"in my glass, over here". I reply,"thought you were allergic to hops"? Her reply,"it doesn't have much of a hoppy flavor". I'm doomed I guess.

I brought some homebrews to my sister's house for Christmas this year. My brother insisted on drinking it out of the bottle, which is fine, not everyone can allreciate the bouquet of a New Zealand hopped ipa, but I just wanted to let him know about the little pile of sediment at the bottom as he's finishing the bottle. He gets to the end, I warn him, to which he replies "that's the stuff that f's you up," and swigs the last sip. It was hilarious.

Also important to note when using mayo it is no longer craft, but now rather "Kraft" beer.

that is the wittiest thing i have read in a long time.

A well krafted pun.

I wonder if he Cain come up with another one. Sorry about that, I'm just trying to ketchup.

Some just asked in the AG Water Primer thread where he could find the primer everyone was referring to in all the posts.

The thing that gets me is when you nicely try to explain something to someone and they just won't accept it.

This kid (around my age?) overheard me order a SNPA and goes "Sierra Nevada? Nice. I love IPAs." I said me too but this is a pale ale, not an IPA and he goes "yeah, that's what I said. INDIA. PALE. ALE." Like I was stupid haha

I had a similar experience at a bar:

me: I love IPA's.
some guy: those are ok, but I like India Pale Ales. they just taste better.
me::smack: that's what IPA stands for.

If by "f's you up" he meant "is gonna give him the ****s tomorrow", he was still kinda right...

Yeah, sometimes the suggestions from employees at liquor stores are crazy.
I was in one of my go to stores yesterday and was looking for anything I haven't had yet.
Employee: Do you know what you're looking for?
Me: No, just looking for anything I might want to try.
Employee (Without asking what I like): We just got that new Budweiser in.
Me: I don't drink that stuff.
Employee: I don't blame you. (Goes about his business)

Before I finished rewind the post I checked to see where you were from

Today at a charity dinner I cooked for i told one of the other chefs I was more of a beer guy when he offered to buy me a shot. He came back with a corona. Oh well, it's still beer and he was nice enough to buy it

Brought a bunch of my homebrew to a party last month and my wife's friend pulled out my pale ale and said, "I love IPAs!" She proceeded to tell everyone to try my IPA. I tried to correct her the first couple times, but after that I just stayed quiet and accepted the fact that she liked it regardless of what she thinks it is.

My fiancée just raided my fridge and took three beers. She's headed to another city to visit her brother, and she said "he doesn't like good beer." Cracked me up. I've managed to turn her into a beer snob.

 

[Klickmania]

I was in line at a grocery store with a six pack of Sweetwater IPA and some 420. The guy behind me says "Is that stuff any good? I've never had it before." and I say I love it since I love beer. He then said "That's probably got more ginger ale or something in it, huh?" I just looked at him and said "Yeah, something like that."
