I love that quote. I'm going to swipe it.

Local "pub" tv commercial.
-I put pub purposely into quotes because its just a dive bar but they call themselves a pub.
"coldest beer in town"
shows bar maid with frosted over sun glasses as she pours beer into a glass that appears to have dry ice in it.
Everyday people I don't mind being ignorant about beer because to them its just another choice between a coke or Pepsi. But for a bar to continue the myth that colder is better is hard for me to take.
You put OOMPA LOOMPAS in your beer?... I guess I've been doing it wrong..I wonder if that would work.
I know that fruits and vegetables will take on slight characteristics of what they are grown next to. I've eaten spicy tomoatoes that were grown intermixed with jalapenos.
Not sure if it would work with hops because we're only pulling the oompa loopmas and/or acids, and not eating the vegetation.
I'm confused, what are you ashamed of? That's like admitting you like mac and cheese once in a while.Mass produced Mexican lager is the only Mexican beer I've had, and I like it, and I have to have lime juice on the rim. I'm sorry, I'm so ashamed. (for the record, I only like XX Amber and Negra Modelo) So, so ashamed!

Yep. It was 94° tonight when we started drill, and spent the better part of an hour cutting a car up (extrication/jaws of life practice..in full bunker gear) A few of us head down to the VFW after drill for a couple cold ones... that first Bud Light bottle hit the table in front of me, and I found the bottom of that in about three minutes. DAMN did it hit the spot.I'm confused, what are you ashamed of? That's like admitting you like mac and cheese once in a while.

My coworkers...
Is it safe? Am I going to get bochelism or E-coli?
I do one of two things when I order a beer in a mainstream restaurant. Either I ask for a warm glass
I guess that depends on the area. I live in a college town (Fayetteville). Went to a local restaurant which boasts having 100+ diff beers available. I figured they'd be somewhat beer savvy.You would be surprised how many folks, even in Oklahoma, will order a warm pint glass when they get a (rarely offered) Pale Ale.
Isn't the Beer/Ale thing rooted in some states with really stupid and antiquated ABC laws? That was always my (possibly mis-)perception.
For some reason, I thought like in Texas anything over a certain ABV was legally required to be labeled an "Ale" even if it was a lager.
"Legal Disclaimer: The Brewer's Friend ABV calculator is for entertainment purposes and should not be used for professional brewing. No warranty or guarantee of accuracy is provided on the information provided by this calculator."
"Entertainment"?! Not "estimating" or "informational" purposes? LOL!
Because the Lawyers told us exactly what to say.

I don't suppose you have an ABV calculator for addtion of rum, bourbon, etc. I lost where I had one and can't find it anymore.
This is admittedly , but... I've seen a lot of disclaimers in many different industries, and never seen the word "entertainment" used. I work in the engineering business and see calculated values presented in reports for "estimating" or "informational purposes only", but never "entertainment". Maybe it's different for the internet. Who am I to argue with a lawyer (during business hours). I've been directed to use certain language (usually against my preference) by lawyers many times. Lawyers do serve a purpose.
For what it's worth, I was definitely "entertained" and impressed by all your calculators. I will use them often. Thank you very much for providing them! And sorry if I offended anyone.

Not that I know anything about such things. I just...uh...*backs away slowly*
I will only drink any of the mass produced Mexican lagers if I have limes in them. I enjoy them...not as beer of course, but as a mixed drink. And that's how I refer to them.
Blue Moon is awful so...yeah...I wouldn't drink it regardless.
My second favorite, and most often heard funny thing said about beer is when talking beer with [insert your own adjective] people, and they say they cant drink Lagers because they are too dark/bitter, so they only drink beers like Bud,Miller,Coors :cross:
Two words: Shake weight. Hours of...um..."entertainment" for only $19.95 (plus S&H). But wait, there's more...
I get a kick out of those brass knuckles, throwing stars, knives, etc., sold in the back pages of sporting magazines. There's usually a disclaimer, like: "for entertainment purposes only." Or they refer to the item as "a nice paper weight" or "conversation starter."
Yeah, you'll sure get a conversation started if you're frisked by a cop and that stuff is found in your pockets.

You already did. Now it's time for the coming out party.So I can come out of the (Mexican beer with lime) closet?
No, but they make for a great punch line.Yeah I was going to say I don't think i would really want to start a conversation over a pair of brass knuckles
gometz said:Thought of another one. I was at HEB in Austin while visiting my parents, trying to decide on a Belgian beer to grab. There's a lady there handing out samples of 3 different Belgians, so taste test time of course.
First off: I heard her use terms like flame out, and after I remarked she knew what she was talking about she told me about that her father was Pierre Celis (founder of Hoegaarden and Celis).
So on to the "funny thing": one of the beers was Lupulus. After she told me "Lupulus means wolf in Latin which is why there is a wolf on the label I remarked "and it is one of the scientific names for hops she replied "no that's humulus!"
Side note: apparently Celis will reopen in Austin sometime soon.
That's Greek to me...
