Funny things you've overheard about beer

[MustBeZ]

Thinking to self: "I want to correct them SO BADLY, BUT DON'T GO THERE! IT'S NOT FUNNY, AND IT'S NOT ABOUT BEER!" There, there... have another Maibock and it'll be all better.

The bartender at the best local microbrewery insisted me that the "cream ale" was a lager.

Well actually...it is the next closest thing. Many times the only difference is the yeast used. It's basically an ale version of a pale lager fermented at warmer temps. It benefits greatly from an extended lagering conditioning as well.

He was wrong, but not by much.

A lager with different yeast and not lagered... is not a lager lol

I mean it's called a cream ALE but she wouldnt let up on it. Nice girl though.

She was a nice girl eh? Funny too? Nice personality?

"I don't drink" said an hour ago by my neighbors date who visited my house. Then she sampled the pale ale he was drinking and made a face. I passed her a Octoberfest which she was quick to kill. Hmmm... should I comment on how full of crap she is, or just that I am awesome and can find the proper beer for someone in my ilbeit limited selection?

For a lot of people "I don't drink" is a way to avoid trying something they've heard bad things about (homebrewed beer) without seeming like she's putting you down. Once she tried it and found it was actually good, things were different. I've pulled "I'm vegetarian" when someone offered me some really horribly cooked BBQ and I just didn't want to choke it down and pretend it's good. "I have a nut allergy" also works for things like fruitcake.

Not really something over heard but,
A guy I work with is starting to try other beers then his usual Bud.
If it's black it " tastes like a Guiness."
If it's brown it "tastes like a Newcastle"
If it's amber/red it "tastes like a Killians"
I do give him credit for trying something else besides his two favorite beers.
Which he has told countless times are "cold and free, ha ha ha"

I don't really give a fook whether she has the personality of an animal cracker..... I can make allowances!

Having the personality of an animal cracker would be an improvement over some of the women I've tangled with. I learned early the first rule of survival: 'never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself.'

The problem is that had I followed it, I'd have spent a good part of my life celibate.

Just talked to a guy that says his girlfriend is starting to drink Grain Belt Noreast? He says it is good for a dark beer because it doesn't have the charcoal taste that most dark beers have.

I have a friend that said the same thing about Black Racer! He also liked that he didn't have to chew it like Guinness. Doh!

Most important lesson dad ever thought me. Wish I would have listened a couple of time

'never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself.'

That's a fun rule to break, but the long-term consequences remind you of why the rule exists.

 

[troy2000]

Most important lesson dad ever thought me. Wish I would have listened a couple of time

I still remember a couple of other things my dad told me:

"When you start having sex, you'll discover it isn't nearly as good as you thought it was going to be. But you're going to like it even more than you thought you would."

"If you're getting tired of the same old stuff, try doing without it for a few weeks. You'll be amazed at how good it gets..."

 

[ChshreCat]

A good one I've always remembered from my dad was "You don't get to call in sick if it was self inflicted."

 

[amfukuda]

That's a solid point

 

[geek_chaser]

Sometimes you just get Anal Glocoma. Just can't see your a$$ going in today.

I live by this, If I'm stupid enough to get that Fooked up, pay the price. I'm sure I've had days they would have been better off if I stayed home but i't a reminder not to be stupid.

Yeah, it's all fun and games, until you meet Crazy Stalker Girl.

 

[NuclearRich]

yikes!

 

[BorealBrewer]

Yeah, there's SWMBO, and then Crazy Stalker Girl, SWMBOOSWHITBOYHAHYF.

(She Who Must Be Obeyed Or She Will Hide In The Bush Outside Your House And Haunt You Forever).

I didn't overhear this, but a co-worker told me over lunch this week "I don't like beers with malt in them. They're too sweet...something dark and burnt is good. Do you ever burn your beer?"

Turns out, she was asking if I made dry stout.
