Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Keith66]

I used to think Guinness was strong way back when. Now it tastes like Budweiser with charcoal in it.

I love Belgians. I hate Blue Moon with a damn passion...orange and beer do not mix.

Blue Moon is okay, just put it in a warm glass and lose the damn fruit... the way they would in Belgium.

The orange flavor is there, with or without the fruit slice.

Of course it is. It's brewed with orange peel. I personally don't mind the orange slice. It makes it unique. I used to really like blue moon, but I don't drink it any more because it gives me heartburn. All wheat beers do.

The orange slice is a delicious addition. I don't care what anyone says.

It's drinkable, more so than regular Coors. I'd like it more if it gained a few gravity points and was fermented with a Belgian or a hefe yeast. It definitely shouldn't have the word Belgian on the label, that confuses people, it's an American wheat beer.

It even says it twice! "Belgian-style Belgian white beer"

Belgian-style = hey, we dumped some spices in it!

Reminds me of the fake cheese stuff that says "processed artificial cheese-flavored product" on the label.

It has coriander and orange peel, like... umm... a Belgian wit. But it has an American twist in that it uses a neutral yeast. So it's Belgian-style. Not Belgian.

I don't think a hefe yeast would give you a Belgian-style anything. It would give you a German-style Belgian-style wit.

Be careful how you refer to Blue Moon. "Belgian-Americans" are a protected class.

just had an asian made budweiser, can't remember where they're produced, i think singapore or something. but damn, that was a bad beer. tasted like rice water. not an exaggerated description due to location as the local beers just taste sugary and full of defects. but this budweiser tasted like they were stretching out the adjuncts more than any beer i've ever tasted. terrible, terrible crap

I put the orange in the same category as a lemon in a hefeweizen, which causes any German to laugh at us silly Americans. On the other hand, they drink radlers.

But it makes uninformed bartenders thing every wheat beer needs an orange slice. I've had to send beers back because of that.

It could be intentionally localized. I actually have had a few pretty tasty brews made with roasted brown and/or red rice, but I wouldn't expect that from Bud.

Hitachino Red Rice ale is delicious!

As opposed to the delicious, quality, and full flavored Budweiser?

So you couldn't simply remove the orange slice and request it not be added next time? Seems like a waste of good beer.

No...he couldn't...because orange and beer don't belong together as already stated.

If I get a Dogfish Head 90-minute with a dog turd in it, I am going to sent it back.

Not when the orange has seeped into the beer I'm paying for.

I understand the principle, but I doubt the tasteless **** orange slice they add imparts any flavor at all to the beer.

Well, I personally don't complain too much when they throw the orange slice in. I actually really enjoy the beer soaked orange at the end of the glass. Everyone says it's a garnish but hell I'm not wasting a perfectly good orange especially when it has soaked up my booze!

Since you obviously know that any wheat beer is likely to come with a slice of fruit, you should specify "no fruit" when you order it. You can't expect the whole world to know all your quirks.

Much the Bud in China is brewed across town from me in Wuhan, not sure if it gets out of the country to the rest of Asia though. If I drink a Bud next to any of the local offerings, it tastes full-flavored and malty. I don't drink it anywhere else in the world, and rarely here, but I've been told by a number of people that Budweiser is the same worldwide, unlike, say, Coca-Cola, which is made to varying recipes depending on the country.

Of course, maybe being told that Bud brews the same product worldwide is the funny thing I've heard about beer, and I'm just not catching on

 

[Keith66]

I don't like the orange or lemon, but I don't send em back. I just put the fruit conspicuously on a napkin to remind me and the server, "No fruit next time, please." It also reminds me to request a non-frozen glass next time too. Sometimes I ask them to please use the same glass. (Sorry, not real funny.)

 

[Craigmn]

I brew an IPA with orange in it, so orange does go with beer. But as a garnish it's meh

DogFish Head's next ancient brew is going to have dog turd in it.
Dog Turd Head ale. People will pay thousands for it.

I heard that Bud is different depending on where you go. In fact a guy I know who is more informed about beer than myself (though this is quickly changing) said that Czechvar is the name of imported Bud. At least one person here has to be right.

There is a Czech brewery that produces a beer called Budweiser that is imported in the US under the name Czechvar for trademark reasons, but it is in no way related to the Anheuser-Busch product known as "Budweiser". It is much better, in fact.
