Funny things you've overheard about beer

[MotorcycleMatt]

Hahah sorry to work everyone up with a choice of words... the whole point of the post was to say that BMC drinkers can be lead away from BMC with craft beer in response to someone's other post.

No worries man, I was just giving you a hard time.

Haha it's all good. It gets tricky to express what you are trying to say to different people through words on the internet. I took no offense and didn't lose sleep over it haha.

Cheers!

Although, to be fair, this is a pure assumption on my part. If I really cared, I could look at his other posts and see what he is complaining about. Today I just don't care that much.

No one has ever offended me directly, however there's a lot of rudeness and close mindedness. We are supposed to be having fun right?

You guys, this is a Funniest thread. Stop screwing it up.

That wasn't funny! Go away!

a guy at work: "Killian's Irish Red is a great craft beer."
me: "It's not great & it's not craft. It's crap."
the guy: "Oh yeah?!? Then why's it with all the other craft beer in the store then?"
me: "It's called marketing."

A review of Black Racer. Overall, spot on, except for one glaring error:

"Poured from a bottle into a shaker pint, the beer is a very dark, almost black coloring with ruby highlights around the very edges and a thin, filmy, light tan coating of surface head. Aromas of roasted hops, resiny and slightly charred, and a touch of tropical fruit sweetness. Flavors of dark, sweet malt in the backbone, both fruity and a touch of molasses, with a resiny, bitter, slightly fruity hops overlay and a kiss of smoke and roast. Very balanced, on a full, smooth body. Tasty brew. The aftertaste has smoke, bitter hops, and roast, as well as a touch of chocolate. Very layered and dynamic. Slightly bitter, roasty finish that lingers long enough to entice more drinking."

I'm drinking an IPA from a can... and liking it.

How's that?

Sounds like someone is drinking a deviant dales to me.

Haha he repeats a lot too, especially the aftertaste/finish. Roasted hops? I always roast mine with my grain :s. Or put them in my smoker

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Just being a noob... but what would happen if you did roast or toast some leaf hops? would you kill the essential oils? Could good things happen?

This weekend my brother in law wanted to help me brew. His mother told me that she doesn't understand how this can be legal. It's just like making moonshine. I just stared at her for a minute and went back to the kettle.

 

[Swarley88]

Pm sent, didn't want to post on here due to me not knowing if I can post something like that on here.

This takes the cake... watched a Swedish beer documentary. Kind of dissapointed, but at the very end something odd happens. After going all over Europe, from Czech to Italy. He then returns to Sweden, visits an old man who is unhappy that the stores have removed his favorite dark light ABV beers from their shelves.

And this old man decided to take things into his own hands. I thought to myself... "Oh, he made his own beer? Cool." but nope. Of course not. He poured three glasses... one dark christmas beer, two from the same bottle of light lager. He proclaims "Even a blind person can see which is tastier."

Then he takes a friggin' bottle of soy sauce on pours it into one of the glasses with the light lager. WTF?! That's apparantly his solution...

Apparently she's never seen moonshine being produced. Distilled like any liquor. Beer it ain't. I'd have told her the difference. Simple difference between the two.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I have noticed, particularly with older folks but its pretty epidemic on the whole... people say stupid crap because they want the attention. Im not talking a silly rant, I'm talking something offensively stupid like "this is just like making moonshine." I guarantee she felt abandoned or otherwise lonely and decided to push your buttons to make you engage.

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah,some get annoyed at not being the center of attention. I could give a ratt's a$$.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Its just that at that point she had already said something so stupid that it would have pissed me off, but if in the same situation I knew that she was feeling left out I'd try to get her involved somehow. Even if its "hey Mrs. Martin, its a nice day why dont you grab a beer and hang with us... we're probably gonna use bad language though."

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah,offer her a beer & hang out till the cops show up to bust us all. :rockin:

 

[Tombstone0]

Well actually making moonshine is exactly like making beer, except for that last all important step. That might be all she meant.

 

[ChshreCat]

Maybe she was waiting for you to offer to buy her silence with a couple mason jars of Kentucky Moon.

 

[JTTX80]

Apparently she's never seen moonshine being produced. Distilled like any liquor. Beer it ain't. I'd have told her the difference. Simple difference between the two.

After several comments about the legality of the subject I did explain to her the difference. I was simply so annoyed by her comment that at first I didn't even want to answer her. She is known for always having to be right and for her questioning the safety or legality of things everyone does. She was later nervous cause while doing and addition I had the kettle an entire 2 feet from the propane tank which she thought was just too close for comfort. Last time I brew at my brother in laws house.

 

[JTTX80]

Also she only drinks bud light. She doesn't like anything darker than that.

Had a pt yesterday going to a psych facility. Cool guy was a leukaemia pt also said he hadn't had friends to his house for awhile because he can't drink more than 2 beers. So we got into a beer discussion. He was a BMC drinker which is fine. Then asked if I had heard of pumpkin beer. I said yes I plan to brew one this year. He had never heard of that until his brother told him about it a few weeks ago. No problem. He then goes on to claim Budweiser is "too bitter" for him.

Sad state of affairs when the only reason to have guests is to drink with them. Social lubricant is nice and all, but sometimes you gotta... um... ride rough?

A local brewery pan toasted some hops for a kolsch last summer and it was delicious.

 

[will_rouse]

I brewed a pilsner a while back, and one of my friends a BMC drinker said "It's good but it taste to aleish for me though". I could've snorted. I didn't bother to explain.

 

[gcdowd]

Aleish, I read that as a-leesh. I was like, what does a-leesh mean. But I got it now!
