Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Lushife]

Yeah I just looked it up and the only way I can do it is if I go to college and enter a science fair where I distill alcohol.

That's why you stick a shooter of rum into the lining of your coat. Pour that into your coke and you're good. Just make sure you get one with a plastic cap, or it will set off the metal detector.

Like leftover yeast vials?

This may not be the original direction that this thread was meant but it was still quite funny to me. My son just turned 21 and went to the local package store that has a great selection of micro brews and some unique imports. He purchased an $8.00, 12 oz bottle of a dark strong Italian ale (I'm not sure what it was) to celebrate his birthday. He said that it was fantastic. Fast forward to today, he was going to a professional basketball game and I told him to be careful and not drink too much. He said that was not going to drink at all. He will not pay $6.00 for a 22 oz glass of Bud Light. I had to laugh but I think that I created a monster or at least a beer snob.

this is proof that not all parents are idiots (I've had serious doubts) and that there is hope for future generations

If only you could get a good beer at a ballgame!

I'm working on that, at least at the minor league level

You can get good beer at Miller Park. Not just the regular Macro stuff. Good actual craft beer. You pay more but what's a couple bucks more when you are paying $6 for crappy beer anyway.

My girlfriend told me I have to stop fly-sparging in the house because it makes her have to pee. I tried to negotiate by saying then she would have to stop watching "Real Housewives of [ENTER CITY HERE]" while I was in the house. I'm still sparging in the kitchen...

Cincinnati has a decent beer selection at Reds games, although yes, it costs more and you have to put up with stuff like ordering a Two-Hearted Ale and getting "huh? Oh, the fish beer?" in response.

There's only one stand that sells real craft beer though (stuff like Yuengling, Heineken and Dos Equis is a little easier to find), so if you sit in the nosebleed seats, you're stuck with a hike to get to it.

My buddy just bottled his first batch of beer. We were sipping on the hydro sample and passed it to his girlfriend. She took a sip and said "oh that is good, I especially like it because it is cloudy like blue moon. Will this taste like blue moon after it has carbed up?"

My buddy had brewed an irish red...

God save him, he answered, "I don't think it will...but, we can do a side by side if you want."

That'll work. It might be a little harder to hide though. A friend of mine sticks a shooter in under the tongue of each shoe when he's going to football and baseball games all the time.

Are you a woman?

A) yes
B) no

If you answered

a) no I am not making fun of your purse or pink shirt
b) HAHAHAHA

Unless it isn't a purse it's a satchel (Indiana Jones had one) and your shirt isn't pink it's salmon?

What's wrong with wearing pink? It's just a color.

 

[dfc]

Or someone that knows the value of money and would rather spend his on something of value than to just get drunk at a basketball game
It sounds to me that you sir have done a fine job!
We have a craft beer bar here in NZ that stocks a lot of imported craft. I paid $12 for a pint of Racer 5, most of the reason is I would not be able to visit this bar again for a long while. While it was a good beer I couldn't completely gid rid of that voice in my head telling me I could have brewed 20 pints of beer that tasted just as good for the price I paid... I think I'm a bit cheap though

Man, that stuff is $4 for a bomber here...

 

[FerndaleFerments]

A few years ago, on our way to my wifes sisters house for Christmas, I saw a young man with a Bud Light. Tattoo. Not really something I overheard but still funny or sad or ...What was he thinking!

 

[Marauder]

No it was pretty much just a joke. We were poking fun at someone's friend/teammate who is incredibly tough and manly because he drinks BMC which does not contain estrogen like homebrew does....

:OT: I have a coworker who has a pair of flip flops with flasks built into the soles. I always wondered how he kept dirt from getting in his drink but he mainly wears them to the beach.

 

[bighornmountaindew]

Wouldn't there be more dirt or sand at the beach? I have seen those as well as the ones with the bottle openers in them. I don't think I would drink out of a shoe flask.

That reminds me of those dumb flip flop bottle openers. No, I don't want to open my beer with your sweat soaked flip flop. That's smurfing disgusting.

A lot of sports venues sell good local microbrews here in Indy now. They are usually the same price as the BMC stuff too so it's a no brainer. Still stupidly expensive but it's nice to have a decent choice now.

 

[Patro]

College girls picking beer at the grocery store:Girl 1 "do you think I can I handle this beer?" Girl 2 "Well you've had Guinness and that's an extra stout, if you can handle that you can handle any beer". Then they proceeded to make fun of Girl 1 for being so ditsy.

 

[bleme]

I'd love to see a survey to see how many people think Guinness is more alcoholic than, say, Corona. From the comments I get every time I serve a dark beer, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the 90% range.

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

My future wife says she hates Lagers, although she's quite fond of my various styles of home brewed ales, but if presented with only BMC as options, she always goes for Miller Light. If asked why she prefers Miller light light she argues that, "It's a Pilsner and not a Lager". SMH...

You need to fix that before you get married. Unacceptable in my book...

Just had a buddy taste one of my beers for the first time. It's a spin off of Jamil's West Coast Blaster that I fermented with Belgian yeast.

Buddy: "It tastes like 3 different beers in one."
Me: "Oh yea? Which three beers?"
Buddy: "I don't know, kinda like 3 that I've never had before."
Me: "? wtf ?"

 

[rodwha]

That's pretty dadgum funny!

I would take that as a complement. You brewed a beer with complexity.

"Heineken! F@#K that, Pabst Blue Ribbon!!"
Apparently it's a movie quote, but I heard it about 100 times this past weekend at a camping event.

Hah, that's from Blue Velvet by David Lynch. Pretty f'ed up movie. My husband, although he's a huge beer snob, says that all the time.

my brother's a big Lynch fan. we'd always yell that at the bars. and in his garage. and my living room. and his living room. and his back yard. I think a church is the only place we haven't yelled that quote.

 

[rodwha]

You guys make me feel as though I need to watch that movie...
