From my uncle in-law while drinking a 9% barleywine I made "this is pretty close to Sam Adams" I just said thank you ,as he meant it as a near compliment.
My brother in law just told me that same thing while drinking one of my 8.5% saison de Noel's. I also, just said thank you...I'm lucky I didn't have a few more in me, or my innner beer snob might have came out. Haha, whatever
Im a newbie What is an SWMBO
Stupid, fat SWMBO!
wannabebeernerd said:i would of had to say, "yes, yes it is, exactly like that one", and laughed out loud at least once a day for the next week when i tried to picture their faces after opening it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience this. I think they are trying to pay a compliment but lack the vocabulary to give it.
I stopped at a gas station tonight on my way back to my hotel to get some beer. I've been told this place has the best beer selection in town, and I will say, their selection is very wide. They still have spring seasonals...mmmm, yummy.
Anyway, I got a sixer of New Belgium Snowday, and when I went to the counter the girl asked me if this was a dark beer. I said, "well, yeah...it's dark, but it's tastes lighter than it looks and it's hoppy". She said, "oh like ummm...have you ever had amber bock? Or is it dark like an IPA?". I didn't know what to say and there were now people behind me waiting, so I politely said, "you should just try it and see what you think, I like it."
WOW!
Isn't sake one of the strongest non-distilled alcohols, on average?My wife overheard a woman at her work the other day telling someone that Saki is one of the strongest forms of alcohol.
Isn't sake one of the strongest non-distilled alcohols, on average?
Beer =6%
Wine =14%
Saki = 20%That's my understading of the averages of each. VERY generally speaking
I'm pretty sure she was hitting on you . . .

WesleyGatzke said:I've heard too many dumb things about beer to keep track of, but one thing that made me chuckle (and cringe) recently was on the cover of a book about beer. My wife bought me a book for Christmas titled "BEERS OF THE WORLD - Over 350 Classic Beers, Lagers, Ales, and Porters[/B"]
*shudder*
My immediate thought: if someone doesn't properly understand those relationships, why would they write a book about it?
gcdowd said:So this just happened to me. I went to a local bar that just opened up because I heard they have a pretty decent beer selection.
Me: I'll take an Ithaca Flower Power (local IPA)
Bartender: Sure thing
As I wait for my change, a guy walks up next to me and takes a look at the taps. A second bartender shows up and asks him what he wants.
Bartender: What'll ya have?
Guy: Ithaca IPA please
Bartender: We don't have Ithaca IPA
Me (to the Guy): You want the flower power
Guy: No, I don't want that
Me: You said you wanted the Ithaca IPA, that's the Flower Power
Guy: No, I said I want the Ithaca Double IPA
(I'm pretty sure they don't even make a double IPA)
Me: You want the flower power, trust me.
The guy orders an Angry Orchard (hard cider)
I laughed to myself. I guess he thought a good alternative to a double IPA (that does not exist) is a hard cider.

ArkieBrewer said:I was at my LHBS the other day. A guy came in who had received a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas, and was looking for more supplies. The owner of the shop was very patient with him, answered all of his questions, and somehow avoided bashing the fact he was using a Mr. Beer (everyone starts somewhere). After they both have an armload of cleaner, sanitizer, extract, yeast packs, etc., he grabs the bottle of Star-San and asks, "I use well water, do I need to add more of this to my wort than normal to make sure I kill everything." The look on the owner's face was priceless.

Anyway, this morning she tells me that she doesn't like that I use our 4.5 gallon pot to brew in. Apparently she's worried my unfermented sugar water will some how contaminate her next stew with alcohol.....

Also I have seen alot of Bluemoon Bashing, seems alot of people on here forget Bluemoon started out as a micro/craft brewery till Coors bought them out. I dont care for it but its still a drinkable beer.
Not beer but since the TV show moonshiners has came out there seems to be a lot of "shine" makers coming out of the wood work (at least where I work) and you can tell after 2 mins of conversation they have no clue what they are talking about while acting like they have been squeezing corn all there life.
My pet peeve is when someone acts like they drink "good" beer and look down on me when I drink Natural Light. This is not the homebrew crowd, its the every day folks that have no clue about beer and act like Natural Light is cold goat piss while they are drinking a Bud Light.. I usually just laugh at them, cause they really have no clue what good beer is.
