Revisiting the beer classification portion of this thread. This is the beer menu from The Twisted Kilt a Irish type bar that is more Hooters then Irish but they have a decent selection on tap. How many errors can you spot on the menu?

Wow... whoever wrote that should be fired. Actually, they should be ruthlessly flogged first, then fired.

Even my yeast are offended, and they can't read.
 
Wouldn't it be interesting to dissect the brain of the person who typed menu and the person who approved it. I would guess nothing would be found.
 
"I'll have the smuttynose IPA please"


"Oo! You're brave! I can't handle those dark beers!"

Whoa now...

Not even looking at the actual beers - whats up with the catagories?
 
After telling a friend about different beer styles: "but budweiser is the king of beers, so it won a ton of awards!" ...i told him i urinate higher quality
 
Just had a good one. Went into a local sports bar and grill for lunch, saw they have a local beer special on the menu. My wife asked what the local special was, and the waiter told us it was Batch 19.

We're in connecticut.
 
Funny how you're nitpicking the menu and everyone got the restaurant name wrong :). I take it that's in Michigan, where at?
 
Not so much about beer just dumb question. I bartend and have had more then one person stand in front of the tap and ask you guys have draft beer :/
 
At a local brewpub where we do a beer panel every two weeks sampling various styles of a theme (this week was great american beers including SNPA, Anchor Liberty, Shiner Bock, etc), about the Liberty to me: It's dry hopped so it has that *squints eyes, makes smacking sounds with mouth* dry thing at the end.

His wife always comes with him and she obviously doesn't like beer, made a squinty face at every one and dumped the rest in her husbands glass, I don't know why they come.
 
It's dry hopped so it has that *squints eyes, makes smacking sounds with mouth* dry thing at the end.
I am defiantly not the best at putting my thoughts int o spoken words. This sounds like something I would say. Does not mean I do not enjoy trying other beers and hearing others opinions..Just using "correct" terms is something I have a harder time doing. As for the wife... your guess is as good as mine as why she is there.
 
It's dry hopped so it has that *squints eyes, makes smacking sounds with mouth* dry thing at the end.

I don't like hop bitterness; hop flavor is tolerable; and hop aroma is fine. For me, that "dry thing at the end" comes from bittering at the beginning of the boil, not from dry hopping. Seems to me that statement comes from lack of knowledge about brewing, not lack of communication skill. But I don't like hops, so I could be wrong.

I love watching non-beer drinkers pretend to like beer and sound knowledgeable about it... always a laugh! Even more so for the wine crowd.
 
He kept talking after that, he thought dry hopping = dry finish, another guy straightened him out after about 20 minutes but I think he still thought he was right.
 
I recently took some co-workers several lagers I brewed, one of which was a Czech Amber session lager about the color of Shiner Bock. 3.4% alcohol and 100 calories.

One told me how thick and alcoholic that beer was and how she got a buzz after just a few sips. I explained that it had less alcohol and the same calories as Miller Lite. I could see the blank look in her eyes as I explained it.
That did not compute--she was unable to understand that a brown colored beer wasn't motor oil.
