Funny things you've overheard about beer

[nmfree]

I gave an amber to one of my wife's friends. She took a sip and said "You can really taste the hobbs." That is not a misspelled word. That's what she thought it wad called. Cracked me up.

Maybe, after seeing all of the drawing of Calvin urinating on things, she meant that it wasn't the normal tinklewater but something better, like Hobbes.

Back to my complaint about brewers bsing about being the first or the biggest etc., one of the local brew pubs has this to say about their oatmel stout:

Other than a Draft Dry Stout, which are low in gravity & just have 1 hop edition, Oatmeal Stouts are a bit heavier: & because it`s us brewing, we added 2 more hop editions. & we enjoyed doing that so so much, that we used whole leaf Cascade. Cos nobody else ever did. & of course it contains oatmeal.

Is it really possible that these people were the first to think of putting cascade hops in an oatmeal stout?

 

[Fizzycist]

Is it bad that I find myself wondering if I'd be willing to drink a beer made by someone who doesn't know the difference between edition and addition? Maybe in a personal brewing journal it wouldn't matter, but this is a business website; show a little pride!

 

[downtown3641]

I don't think it's so much the mistake that bothers me as it is the lack of attention to detail that went into editing their website. I hope that doesn't carry over into their brewing.

Edit: Never mind. I went to the website. It's an error in translation from German.

I hope not, I spent an hour mulling over the idea this morning....

I was willing to give them a pass on the above until I saw the next description:

1516 Weisse

Bavarian style wheat ale, with the a light difference of 2 late hope editions. With Casacade. Yeah baby, Yeah.

But then I realized that it is just bad translation....and I suppose brewing an oatmeal stout with whole leaf cascade in Vienna probably is unusual

Oh wow, I've actually been to this place! I visited a friend in Vienna several years ago, and he took me and a few of his co-workers to the brewpub. They had a fairly limited beer selection at the time...I don't remember any oatmeal stouts or IPA's on the menu, but it's cool that they're branching out.

But getting back on topic, I can give a pass to typos and bad translations from foreign sites as long as it's mostly readable. Now, if it shows up on Sam Adams' website, that's a different story...

Friday, at a liquor store close to work - two bros are in the import aisle.

Bro #1 "Dude, Troy's Monts here has like 10%! That's like almost hard stuff"
Bro #2: "There's crap in the bottle, put it down."

Not familiar with Troy Brewing, I walked down the aisle, and found they'd been discussing Trois Monts, a beire de garde. And the "crap" was sed from bottle conditioning.

This, as my city celebrates it's Franco-Canadien fur trade history this month...

I guess this makes it easier to see who dosen't pay attention in class. Not exactly craft beer enthusiasts.

 

[hunter_le five]

Recently I let one of my brothers try a Fat Tire clone I made, and he said (while trying real hard not to show his discomfort), "damn, that's hoppy". Maybe you should avoid the IPA then...

I can certainly sympathize with someone who doesn't dig extremely hoppy beers (I only like them on certain occasions or when I'm in a particular mood for them), but that beer was NOT that hoppy, unless your point of reference is BMC.

It should read: make beer taste better, buy beer you like!!

I've got a friend who on occasion mixes orange juice with beer. I don't get it, but I drink beer that stands on it's own as far as taste is concerned.

Buddy hanging out while I was brewing:

Buddy: "What's that stuff you're spraying on everything?"

Me: "Sanitizer, but it's cool. It's food grade. You could actually ingest it and be fine, and it doesn't affect the beer's flavor."

Buddy: Squirt, squirt in the mouth..."HACCCHHH, HACCCHHH! Why'd you let me do that???"

Another time...

Buddy: "Is it ok to eat one of these pellets?"

Me: "Yeah, but I wouldn't..."

Buddy: Chomp, chomp "Oh, citrusy and bitter!"

Me: "Good luck with that."

Buddy: "Ahh, that's intense."

Me: "Yep."

Buddy: Later, "Oh, that really stays with you."
Buddy: Next day, "Man, I tried brushing my teeth...didn't really help."

Oh man you just made me shoot beer out of my nose!!!!! Laugh so hard!!!

I thought that was OJ and malt liquor.

Bells' "Oberon" is awesome like this. My wife and I call em "Beermosas." They're wonderful after a wild night in the morning with toast/eggs.

Hey, more power to you. I don't get it, but it seems others do. To each his/her own I guess.

Brewed yesterday and had a few friends over to help and eat ribs. I brewed a black IPA and used apollo hops...

Buddy grabs a pellet and says " how bitter can they be?"
I says "it's really bitter...one of the bitterest out there I wouldn't eat one"
Other buddy says "oh yeah...i can handle it" and grabs a few...pops them in his mouth and starts chewing and then gets ready to spit them out
I says "hey don't spit those out I had to get them from California!"

To see his face turn inside out was priceless!

My mom insists on putting oranges in everything I let her drink. Hefes are sort of acceptable, I guess, but I draw the line at my ESB, Optic/Ahtanum SMaSH, cream ale, kolsch, or pale ale. If it is clear and light enough to see through, she plops an orange in it. Thanks, Ma. Haven't seen her do it with an IPA yet, but I'm sure I will.

Drop in a shot of amaretto and you have a lunch box.

A girl that I used to date would put pickles in her Bud Light. She said it needed them. I asked why she drank it then. She really had no good answer. Needless to say that relationship did not go very far.

I like dill pickles a LOT. Would probably clinched the deal for me :cross:

 

[biohaz7331]

Ha Ha at least someone accepted and knew that the sud light needed something extra. Too bad you didn't get her to start drinking good craft brews.

 

[BorealBrewer]

A pickle in a Bud Lite - hmmm...it would give the BL some flavour...

A foodie friend of mine insists that pickled carrots and stout are an excellent post-curling snack, "best enjoyed with feet up". I've never had both pickled carrots, stout, and the desire to try this in my house at the same time.

What a way to waste a perfectly good pickle.
