Funny things please
Here here. I'm in here to laugh, not learn beer history and customs. Then again I'm not contributing funny either...
Funny things please
I've read all 2800+ posts but don't recall if this one was brought up
several members of our brew club tasting any number of homebrews: "smells like cat piss... Simcoe"
doesn't smell like it to me, but it comes up every time someone uses Simcoe
dannypo said:Yeah its pretty common. I get that a lot from simcoe.
Caught the tail end of some wanna be beer snob's conversation yesterday, " ... and they add more sugar during fermentation to lower the alcohol content."
You mean like that Sumatran coffee where the beans are fed to cats,& they retreive it later to make coffee with?
unionrdr said:Idk man...that's a new one to me. I love Franziskaner. Midwest's PM Berlin Wheat kit turns out tasting like a cross between Franziskaner & Paulaner Hefe to my taste buds. Amazingly good wheat beer for the cheap price & simple ingredients. You oughta try it if you like either of the two wheats mentioned...
reed1911 said:I've had it that way in Italy and it is quite tasty. Really any good wheat beer and banana juice is great. 1/2 and 1/2 is a little much for my taste, but 1/4 to 3/4 is great.
You know if it's been more then four hours you should call a doctor about that.I'm still stuck on the ... Head part of this thread, and the banana juice thing keeps putting me over the top.
Patron: "...do you have any good ipas?"
Bartender: (excited) "best one around! Fresh Ghandi-bot on tap"
Patton: "hmm, how about any ales instead? "
Doh

Guy in his 20s says "Let's go hit Breckenridge Brewery after dinner." Of course I said "Sure!" With dinner, I pour him one of my 12oz Saisons (typical 4.5% ABV). After dinner, he leaves with his mom and step-dad. I tell swmbo "So I guess that's a no on the brewery?" She says "He got drunk off your beer." I'm not sure what to think about this one. Funny though. Still wanna hit Breckenridge. Maybe next trip.
"cool, like a honey-brew list?"

I was at The Common Table in Dallas (well known for their craft beer selection) for brunch on Sunday and a table of obvious frat dudes (sleeveless neon shirts, backwards ball caps, etc.) sit down over by our table. They start off trying to order Bud/Miller/Coors, and with no luck they try to order Blue Moon, with the same results. Then they asked the waitress why they didn't serve lite domestics and without skipping a beat she said, "We don't sereve bad beer." She did recommend Avery White Rascal as an alternative to Blue Moon but they ended up getting mimosas.
She definitely got a nice tip from me.
See, this is the kind of stuff that bothers me. I love craft beer as much as the next guy, maybe even more than most. But when I encounter servers and bartenders who look down their noses at people just because they happen to like light American lagers is bad for craft beer. It gives a horrible impression of snobbery to people who are uninitiated in the craft beer movement.

thesmithsera said:there will always be two sides to a fence. I do agree however that people in the service industry shouldn't look down on people because of what they drink. Regardless, theres always going to be those jerks that pride themselves on drinking for status among beer drinkers and those who truly enjoy a beer culture.
That said those people that go to a bar and are upset because there's no 12% beer that has cocoa nibs, rose petals, saffron, ginger orange peel, elks blood, ostrich piss or 300 IBUS piss me off more than the guys ordering bud lightipe:
I've been known to leave a bar if the selection is poor and I'm not in the mood for domestic macros. I've also been known to stay at a dive until closing drinking PBR.
