Funny things you've overheard about beer

[skitter]

I know it is not funny and off topic, but that's what this thread is right???

Anyway, when I lived in Fairbanks, my favorite time to go cross country skiing was -25F because I wasn't very good and fell down a lot. At -25F, the snow would stay frozen and just brush off so I actually stayed warmer. Good times. I wish SWMBO wasn't such a pansy.

I miss the winters in Wyoming...

Sounds like winters in the 60's when we lived on top of that mountain in PA. Snow a$$ deep till May or June,& so cold you slept with 3-4 layers of clothing & 5-6 quilts.

 

[fuzzy2133]

You just made me feel like a little girl it's 28 here and I'm freezing

Yea that makes 2 of us. The coldest weather I have been out in was a couple days snow skiing up in Tahoe at 0F.

All of you back east stay toasty and warm!

 

[drainbamage]

-2F here, -25 with the wind chill. I practically had to drag the dogs outside kicking and screaming this morning for them to do their business.

 

[NickTheGreat]

That's my uncle. He lives within walking distance of the Sierra Nevada brewery and drinks Budweiser exclusively because beer isn't supposed to be about enjoyment, it's an alcohol delivery method, nothing more or less.

Why Budweiser specifically? Ya gotta buy Amurrican! None of these froofy imports like Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams, or New Belgium!

That's a pet peeve of mine. If you just want to get drunk, why not drink whiskey or everclear or something?

I grew up on a farm down in the river valley. When there was no wind it got cold. One morning the mercury in the thermometer outside the front door was down in the little glass ball at the bottom. The scale on the thermometer went to -50°. By the time I got to the barn with pails of hot water the surface of the pails were ice.

Right now it is -20°F. We are protected from the wind by trees, The sun is out and, sitting on the front porch, my petite saison is not warming up.

-21f with a windchill of -59f overnight...boiling water vaporized instantly when thrown in the air outside.

Oh, it's only manly if your alcohol delivery device doesn't taste much different than water.

 

[fizgig]

My wife on my 9% double IPA: I love it, it's really fizzy

On my 6% porter: Wow, it's really boozy (it's not boozy at all, coffee/chocolate)

 

[unionrdr]

Well,actually ,the coldest weather I've been out in was the late 70's I think,when my '74 pinto super stock wouldn't fire in the plant #1 parking lot,across rt237 that got the back wash from planes taking off at Hopkins. The wind chill made it -88F,& our hands started to frostbite in about 2 minutes...maybe less. My dad & I took turns retuning it while mom sat in the truck,a '78 F-150. Back when their size was more appropriate. I wondered if we'd even survive getting it started & out of the foot of frozen slush & snow it was buried in.

Vaporized? I would expect it to instantly freeze into snow. It might have vaporized last August in Death Valley when the new record was set at 134°F!

what the flocc is wrong with you? I kinda wanna punch you in the tail bone now.

What's wrong? I have spent all of my life in the NW or Montana/Wyoming, I love it, miss it, and hate the fact that here in Texas 90% of the year it's over 70, which means no snow, and means every day it's over 70 is a day of me stepping outside and sweating. I thrive in the cold, love the cold, miss the cold, and wish to go BACK to it...

"When it's cold outside, there's hardly any water vapor present in the air, whereas boiling water emits vapor very readily that's why it's steaming," Seeley says. "When you throw the water up in the air, it breaks into much smaller droplets, so there's even more surface for water vapor to come off of.

"Now, cold air is very dense, and this makes its capacity to hold water vapor molecules very low. There's just fundamentally less space for the vapor molecules," Seeley explains. "So when you throw the boiling water up, suddenly the minus 22 air has more water vapor than it has room for. So the vapor precipitates out by clinging to microscopic particles in the air, such as sodium or calcium, and forming crystals. This is just what goes into the formation of snowflakes."



that was from some science page, but every time i did it in Mn. it just looked like it turned into steam, i assume because the crystals are so small.

...so "ice dust", if there was such a thing. I've heard of ice fog; maybe it's like that but it just falls to the ground.

I live in the Sierras at about 3650' elevation. It's been 40 at night and as high as 68 during the day. It snowed once, about 9", but that's long gone. California is in bad shape water-wise right now. The ski areas are starting to close down again because they can't keep the runs covered. Better brew some beer before they start rationing water.

lol. definitely stock up on beer, it keeps longer than water anyhow.

i live in the uk right now, where it was sixty all day and 34 at night. it was 76 the other day, and hailed. their weather here is just as confused as the measurement system.

I am convinced north Ttexas may be an even comprimise, wife won't leave Texas and the panhandle at least has heard of snow

Yea but have you been to Lubbock? When it rains, it rains mud because there's so much dust in the air. Fiance went to college there, she loves the place. I've been there 4 times and would never spend more than 3 nights there. Too friggin flat.

Sure ice dust. But it doesn't make it to the ground in the same area it was launched in ND. Too much damn wind.

One time when i was trying to read some funny comments overheard about beer, I read 3 pages of weather reports about how cold it is in a lot of areas around the U.S.

Then i thought to myself, the weather is usually a topic of sober conversation. So warm up guys and RDWHAHB!!!!!

That's some funny sh!t right there!

Dude, this one time, like, I drank a beer so cold that it, like, vaporized in my mouth.

Speaking of vaporize, anybody ever watched the movie Envy with Ben Stiller and Jack Black?

Heh, read this on buzzfeed and had to share...

"Here’s what you need:

• Lagers (that’s lighter-colored beer, for you Americans) for the drinkers."
