I can't usually get 'em because my girlfriend's a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. But I do enjoy the taste of a good burger...

I've noticed that this tends to depend on WHY she is a vegetarian. If it is a moral issue, you are pretty much screwed but I know a few who just don't like meat. Those have no problem with others eating meat.
at applebees over the weekend...
me: "what do you have on tap?"
waitress: "miller, coors, bud, blue moon, sam adams winter, troegs alpine something...alpine lace i think"
i was thoroughly confused...alpine lace is a is a brand of cheese. i think maybe they had sam adams alpine spring on and she mixed the two up. so i ordered the troegs and received their pale...(not cheese ale).

Oh sorry--that was a further Pulp Fiction reference. I'm married, and my wife loves to eat meat. She's also a carnivore.
See what I did there?

Wait, surely you are kidding. You have not seen this? I'm truly sorry but due to section 3a, paragraph 7, of the manhood charter.....
My boss just told me he was at Trinity brew house in Providence over the weekend. After looking through the menu, he asked the waitress if they had any domestic beers. The waitress laughed and said they're all domestic.

Personally, I wouldn't give up meat for Jessica Alba but to each their own....
Went to the local Bennigans and asked what they had for craft beer. The waitress was having a tough time with remembering the list so she just brought tasters of like 3 of them so I could try them.
This is going above and beyond.
Then she delivered the Christmas Ale in a pilsner glass.

Several years ago, when my wife and I were still dating she took me by her dad's house to meet him for the first time. He's a BMC kind of guy who drinks something with pretty much every meal.
You'd think I'd want to make a good first impression here...
Anyway, she introduces me and he asks me if I'd like something to drink. I ask what he has and he says Coors Light. I then say that if I had a squirrel willing to piss in my mouth in one hand and a Coors Light in the other that I would still need to flip a coin to figure out which way to go. Lucky for me he'd killed more than a few brain cells over the years, so his initial response was a blank look at me then at her...Then he asks...Is that a no? At this point my future wife jumps in and tries to cover for me and says, that was a no, and he's just trying to be funny, blah, blah, blah...
To this day I have no idea why I said it, and especially at that particular moment....but I still think the statement is valid.
She still doesn't trust me talk to other grownups unsupervised

That is soooo funny!
I've been known to speak before I think and put my foot in my mouth. I think SWMBO waits for me to speak up just to see what I may say!

My girlfriend is vegetarian, but fortunately not the moral kind. I still get to enjoy my meat. She doesn't like too many beers though
they all are "too hoppy."

Every man should be able to enjoy their meat
We have a vegetarian friend we camp with and she'll actually cook meat. I thought that was very cool and very strange.
My daughter's nanny is a vegetarian and part of her duties is to cook meat for my daugher Although I'm a proponent for having 1 vegetarian meal per day, so most of her lunches are vegetarian. She doesn't seem to mind the idea of cooking meat, though.
Back on topic... Went to a hipster restaurant in Toronto a couple years ago, and I asked the waitress which keg lines were the cleanest and she flat out said "Steamwhistle's - the rest are neglected". I was both impressed and disgusted at the same time. Why would you openly admit to having dirty lines? Either way, I had a Steamwhistle, which I don't usually care for, and it was delicious. So crisp and clean... she wasn't lying!

my wife is a vegetarian. our boys & myself are not. she cooks meat for us, but most our meals are vegetarian. we feel that our boys will make which ever decision they feel is right. but if my wife asked me to go vegetarian, I would. my wife's happiness is more important to me than meat. or beer.

How did this thread go from funny beer stuff, to pulp fiction quotes, to vegetarians? If people want to talk about wether or not they eat meat start a new thread.
Back to funny stuff
My FIL was over a few years ago and asked what I was drinking I told him a milk stout. He said get me one ( my fil doesn't like beer just BMC and his favorite is land shark) I told him I wouldn't get him any of my stout because he doesn't like beer ( I have gave him my home brew before with bad results) he says well here just give me a try. He then hands me his little four oz juice glass I said that's not a beer glass I will grab you a sample glass but he insisted on the juice glass. So I pour him maybe 3 oz probably less. He taste maybe a 1/8 of a teaspoon of the beer and says ew this is nasty you drink the rest. Now he never tries my beer.

"If you can't slam it, it's not worth drinking." heard at a house party when my brother started handing out some of his Imperial Porters.

Don't know what a brofrush is but sounds neat. And the the imperial porter statement is priceless I guess it people like that that think "drinkability" is a word.
I watched some "hard cores" try to beer bong his BW. they ended up chucking.

Back story: my SWMBO (i still crack up every time I see that posted) hates beer, I love beer... so obviously I do everything in my power to change that I've known countless "non-beer" people who I have converted with a specific beer. I'm a firm believer that everyone likes beer, they just don't know it yet. All it takes is that one beer that you find tasty, and it's all downhill from there. So in an effort to convert her she tries (and I love her for being such a good sport) a sip of any new beer i'm drinking...which is at least weekly if not daily. Closest we have come is DFH Tweason'ale...go figure. She is usually pretty tame in her reaction, she likes some parts but overall doesn't dig it.
Tonight's selection is Founders Red Rye IPA, pretty excited cuz a local packy is stocking Founders and I love rye ipas.
I'm like hmm this is really balanced and damn good, "babe, try a sip, not a tongue touch thing but a good swig, look for a grapefruit mixing with rye thing goin on" her instantaneous reaction:
"That is not beer, what the hell did I just drink. I think I just drank dead body juice"

Oh great, now we're going to get back onto the zombie apocalypse tangent!
But seriously I LOL'd a bit when I read your post, and I think I might have dated your SWMBO in the past...I feel fortunate that while the eventual and current SWMBO still isn't a big beer drinker, she definitely has a bit more of a palate, and getting better all the time...
Case in point: back when we were dating, she described beers in terms of whether or not they had more "flowers" (hops) or "crackers" (malty)...she kind of shocked herself the first time she actually said "hoppy" instead of "oohh, that's nice flowers!"
i bartend at a local beer and shot type of bar and a ton of the customers refer to anything that is not bud or miller lite as a "wheat beer"
drives me nuts

Face palm. Why do people fall into advertisements and crappy beer lies and think that those are the only beers out there?
