Funny things you've overheard about beer

[SupervisingChildren]

First off, I would like to say hello..."hello". Recently started brewing with my wife, first batch went great, she showed a genuine interest. I get out the blow off tube and put it in, and she asks, "What's that?". I respond, "the blow off tube" and tell her what it does. Fast forward to second batch, I pitch the yeast and my wife exclaims, "Time for the ******** tool". I respond, "Sounds great, but can we finish this first?"

Well played haha

If you're at los cabos (baja california) ask around for ramuri beer. They make a very decent imperial stout & imperial oatmeal stout (head retention sucks but their beer is tasty)

there's tons of mexican craft breweries up north so i really don't understand some of the folks who just said that negrA modelo is the best munich dunkel beer around here. And it's not a vienna, that would be victoria, both leon & negra modelo are munich dunkel.

that sort of attitude towards the mexican craft scene feels like if i was calling bud the only american beer worth a crap or even worse, the best interpretation of the american pilsner style

The bjcp lists negra modelo as an example of a Vienna lager.

Easy there. Is it "attitude"?... or lack of awareness? For me, it's the later. I've never heard of a Mexican craft brewery, nor have I ever seen one at a brewfest, or even seen one advertised, anywhere. But I have noticed that Mexican beer seems to get very little attention from the craft crowd, and have wondered why. I definitely like Mexican beer, and would love to check out the craft breweries. Maybe you could start a Mexican craft brew thread and enlighten me/us.

Found Baja Brewing in San Jose Los Cobos and spent an hour there doing all 8 of their tasters. I was impressed and disappointed.

Their stout to me seemed like to many speciality grains were used. Too many flavor notes that blended into just blah.

The Pale ale that was more agressive with hops had the bitterness with little to no hop aroma or flavor.

The rest were better, I ended up buying a growler of their Swartz (sp) beer (dark lager) and my wife got 3 bottles of the rasberry lager.

The craft breweries are not on the tourist maps and this is a big part of the problem.

Hmm, time to draw a new map?

As has the man from Taylor county

At a restaurant I stopped at to talk to a guy about an A/C service position a guy at the bar pushed a lime into a bottle of Blue Moon Pumpkin Spice.

I kinda vomited a little.

Thanks for the recommendation found Ramuri and Tijuana Brewing at Rock and Brew across the street from the hotel.



I think we need a traveling abroad craft beer list.

I was at a Mexican restaurant in Austin. Waitress came over tried to sell us Bud or something.

How ‘bout Negra Modelo or Dos Equis?
No, we have Heineken and Corona.
Is Corona the only Mexican beer?
We have Doe Sockies, it’s Mexican.
Let’s see it.
She brings over a Dos Equis.

We did leave her a nice tip, so she could buy a bus ticket back to New Jersey or wherever the heck she came from.

I don't get this, I can understand fancy because lets face it our beer is fancy compared to the bland BMC. But girlie, how is craft beer girlie (excluding fruit infused wheat beers that are more fruit than beer of coarse)

Yeah, my dad saw a stack of Two Brothers in a Facebook post and called it girly beer. I was mystified until, a little farther into the conversation, he explained that anything not blue collar back when he was a teenager and young adult was considered "girly." I really enjoyed explaining how PBR has since become the beer of choice for clueless, entitled hipsters.

I love quality craft beer, but mom no purist. If I like something, I don't care if it's wine spritzer with an extra shot of estrogen, I'm gonna drink it.

Hilarious!

I was at a bar the other day listening to the specials.

It's been way too long since a bar around here has played The Specials.

I was at a new brewery/pizza place the other night. For a new brewery they had 6 beers which I thought was pretty good. I bought a flight and 2out of 4 were good...there were two others not on the flight, so I order samples of those. The waitress explains that they are high in alcohol and can only give a small sample of each. One is a IPA and the other is a barley wine so not really a beer at all...my mouth has yet to go back into place.

Just came back from the store. In my cart I had vacuum bags, case of Upland brewing co. variety pack, and a wood floor duster.

Lady cashier - Does not look like a fun day for you
Me - I have beer!
Her - Why do men always need beer when doing chores?
Me -
Her - When I tell my husband to clean and stain the deck he tells me he will need a few beers.
Me - It gets done thought right?
Her - um..well...yea...have a good day.

Exactly, it gets done, so relax on the methodology!

A barley wine is completely a beer. It's made of barley, water, yeast and hops, but it's just the same strength as wince. Has the rest of you been back?

I was asked why I needed a beverage when I'm working and I said it's because the work makes my tongue get dry. Then I went back to working on whatever it was with my tongue sticking out the corner of my mouth as I concentrated on what I was doing.
