Fishing while brewing...and eating potatoes
Fishing while brewing...and eating potatoes

What's that really dark beer Rogue makes? Heady Topper, that's it! That's my favorite Rogue beer.
Smuttynose is pretty light color-wise
Stone Espresso Imperial Stout is supper light in color.

The other day I saw a 24 pack of "Big Flats" from Walgreens that he bought for like $8. I mentioned it, he'd never tried it and asked how it was. I said basically that it's beer, and compared it to PBR lite.
I followed up with it this morning and asked how it was. I can't accurately recreate the passion in which he stated how bad it was. He said that after drinking everything that I've been giving him it made it especially bad.
Last night:
Me: "What's this Estrella Damm? Is that a lager?"
Waiter: "No, it's more like a Michelob."
Me: (holding my tongue) "Sure, why not."
So I get the beer, and he comes back after checking with the bar and says, "Yeah it's Portuguese Bud Light."
And you know what? That's exactly what it tasted like.
Another facepalm beer vs ale. This was at lunch today. I think they just went by if it had "ale" in the name, it was an ale, if not, it is a beer

One that I get all the time is when people first find out I'm making beer, they tell me to be careful not to poisen myself or blow up my kitchen... I would really like to know how the dangers of Meth labs has become associated with homebrewing???
[...]I blame the mainstream media. they ruin things.
yeah, they believe all the hype from the mainstream media. especially in groups. the larger the group, the dumber they are. it's a vicious cycle.Nah. It's that people in general are incredibly stupid...
Cheers!

he did however say that guinness tastes watery after drinking a few homebrews i gave him to sample.
I went to an organic food/craft beer place in Tupelo. They have a serve yourself concept when it comes to the beer--just go to the cooler and grab what you want. I got a Westmalle Tripel. I asked for a glass, and the server pointed to another cooler. Frosted pilsner glasses.
I got some weird looks I sat at the bar rolling the glass around in my hands.

As long as I expect it to taste like Blue Moon and not like Pliney, I don't mind it. I've never bought it myself, but my boss has taken me to many places where Blue Moon is the best they have and I'm not one to turn down free beer.
I wonder if that would work.I the waiter proudly proclaimed that their blueberry beer got its blueberry flavor because the hops were grown alongside blueberries!
