Funny things you've overheard about beer

[unionrdr]

According to historical perspectives by CAMRA,ale is fermented for some 4 days & put in a cask. It didn't have hops or gruit in it originally. If it had hops in it,it was concidered beer.

concidered beer

Is that like apple beer?

 

[unionrdr]

Seems to me apple beer was German originally. Not sure about the exact recipe though.

Just made a "brown and tan" variation using homebrewed dunkelweizen and rye pale ale. Judge all you want, it was delicious!

if you made a "yellow & lighter yellow" with Bud & Mich Golden Ultra, I'd be making fun of you.

I just texted that to my wife and she said it made her teary eyed. Thanks!

Not so much funny as bloody frustrating.

I was in a pub the other night which had a Uk brewed Stone Double IPA (they've done a collaborative brew with one of the UK breweries to offer a few of their recipes on cask over here).

I asked for a pint and the bar manager said "sorry it's 8.5% legally I can only sell you a half"

Behind him was a large poster promoting a deal on pitchers of cocktails stating 2 for £12 and double up on the shots for an extra £2 per pitcher, on a board on the bar was a buy it by the bottle deal on wine.

And my mate had just ordered a pint of 8.3% scrumpy cider without a problem.....

so, I asked for a 750 ml bottle (so just under a pint and a half here) of 13% merlot and one glass. This wasn't a problem other than the fact that I was much less stable on my legs when walking back to the bar to get that DIPA 1/2 later in the evening.

There's a British pub near my fiancee's place we frequent (a LOT). They have a few DIPA's on tap or cask, and they will only give me about 10 oz in a pint glass. Once I asked about it and they gave a similar answer of "oh, it's above XX%, so I can't serve you a full pint."
Such bull**** since the same night my buddy was drinking vodka-red bull by the pint.

 

[jimdkc]

He was 100% wrong. The 6 oz DOES make a NOTICEABLE difference as proven by the very pictures posted in an effort to support the smart ass statement the guy made.

Noticeable? Sure.

Significant? Not so much!

On the other hand... In such a retail situation... the customer should be right!

I'm not sure the word "clone" is being translated properly here on the Internet.

When you're trying to replicate something, getting all parameters as close as humanly possible is important. Altering a step in the process that causes a noticeable difference becomes significant, as you then have fallen well short of your target.

I'm sure glad you guys got a kick out of my concidered joke, the follow up damn near killed me laughing!

Thought about saying that to my wife, but her favorite beers are sour, so that might not have the right impact.

Poured a bottle of 80 schilling ale and said to my wife "Nice light tan head." She replied "Better than a blackhead." Barf.

Went to BJs and the bud light drinker in the group tried all the beers I got and had the same opinion, "nice nose, but I wouldn't drink that"
