Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Lazarous]

Wait... were you bare, or was your friend? Or were both of you bare together? I'm lost.

Tee-hee wouldn't you like to know!

Coworker: I bought a mini keg of something called Köstritzer it said it was a schwarzbier, what's that mean?
Me: schwarzbier means black beer it's a black lager.
Coworker: It was real thick like a Guiness.
Me: I wouldn't really call it "thick".
Coworker: I'm telling you it was just like a Guiness I bought it because the name sounded Hebrew so I knew it would be good.

Definitely, Jews make the best beer. Nobody likes a catholic alcohol, tastes too much like Jesus blood.

May the Schwarzbier with you!

Ah Keystone Light. In high school it cost $65 for a keg, luckily Ziegen Bock (for those who don't know, that's AB's attempt to fight Shiner Bock) was $67 per keg.

We would always have to get one of each because there would invariably be some people complaining about the dark beer.

Some high school shenanigans:
- I had a friend who beer bonged a SNPA. Right afterwards he said "that was the most delicious 5 seconds of my life!"
- We made a beer bong that was 25 ft long (held 5 beers). On Monday when our physics teacher asked how our weekend was, my friend said "I experienced the greatness of 9.8 m/s^2"

In college, the Olde English 40 oz...

That would be correct. I could get a case of 12 for $14. I used to bong em to get my nights started...

 

[ChshreCat]

I see your Schwarzbier is as big as mine!

 

[cpl-america]

Don't get our Schwartzbier tangled.

 

[tennesseean_87]

Well, now I don't feel so embarassed. Except for that one time a few weeks ago when I actually ordered a PBR. We were the visiting team in a dive bar and it was either that or really funky bud light draft. They didn't even have liquor.

Rugby social?

Don't get our Schwartzbier tangled.

what a movie!

"I don't like beer." <--- My Franconian SWMBO...what a horrible German she is.

My ex as well... born and raised in Russelsheim. Horrible German, horrible wife. Her Dad and brother, on the other hand, were good, sensible, bier-drinking Germans.

Pool league. It was hard to meet the team rule of "2 beer minimum" before my game. Didn't have to worry about being contipated the next morning though.

Yeah, you really wouldn't want to be drunk for a rugby game. Afterwards though... The drunkening competitions post game were always amusing.

 

[ChshreCat]

Not his best... maybe 4th or 5th though.

 

[tennesseean_87]

It's one of those movies I watched as a wee little 'um before I knew they were satire. Men in Tights was another. I had no idea what the iron underwear were all about.

Talking to a good friend of mine who is a Bud Light guy and refuses to drink anything else.

Friend: "Man you should make something like Bud Light and call it Chesapeake Light. You know use the local well water so it's local. People would love it!"

Me: "Are you serious?"

Friend: "Yup! How much would it cost to make a batch?"

Me: "Honestly I don't even know how to make something that tastes that bad. It's not worth the time or the effort."

Friend: "Man I am telling you it's genius."

Me: "Sure it is."

Not to mention local well water is a salty sulfury mess.

I think you just found a solution to your problem.

 

[Keith66]

Yeah, 5.5 gallons of bottled tap water is cheap. Force carb it if you have to. He's right, "It's genius!"

Make a session pilsner with IBUs in the 30s and blow his mind.

Talkin about funny things you've herd...

Oh, now I feel old. My parents took me to see Young Frankenstein in the theater when I was a kid.

When I was 11 or so, my younger brother and I managed to talk our grandmother into taking us to see Airplane!... as it happens, she didn't notice the R rating until it was too late. I think all three of us were equally surprised, actually.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

At 11 I'm sure you found it funny - even though over half of it probably sailed right over your head. One of my favorite movies!

No way Airplane! was rated R, especially for back then.

 

[freshhoarse]

Airplane! 1980. PG.

I was at my local liqour store the other day that typically has a decent craft beer section. I musta been looking pretty confused cause the guy working there asked for what I was looking for. I responded "I'm looking for the 90-Minute IPA from Dogfish" He found it for me and I said thanks and he informed me they also had 60 minute IPA as well, I said thanks a lot man but I prefer the flavor of the 90-minute. He looked at me confused and I asked what kind of beer he drank. His response was epic! "Not this weird ****."

I couldn't help but let out a giggle.

 

[Keith66]

Ditto! I was in 3rd grade and we had to leave the theater during the "IT'S ALIVE!" scene because my little brother got scared and started crying. I still give him sh!t about that. :-D

 

[BigDaddyBeard]

While I love Young Frankenstein don't remember it from the theater! I wasn't even close to being born

I was at a "bar" just outside of Boston (a while ago) and I asked what local or craft beers they had, preferably on tap. I was handed the typical plastic laminated menu with oversized pictures of what the food looks like, in theory. After reading mostly the usual BMC suspects, I settled for Guinness. I was disappointed by the lack of something like Harpoon, but my uncle was buying so he told the waitress to just keep them coming. After about 4 or 5, the waitress asked "how are you possibly drinking that many? Aren't you full?" I insisted it was fine but she still seemed shocked that I wasn't licking the floors. To ease her pain and to end the conversation, I told her she could switch me up to bottled Sam Adams Octoberfest--I still had a handful of those before walking out.....on my own! Hahaha

 

[unionrdr]

HA! When I was 3 years old,I insisted on going to the movies with my older sis & brother. The movie was the original 13 ghosts...1959. Scared the popcorn outta me!
