Funny things you've overheard about beer

[atom]

To be honest I like both of them! I would have taken either.

i dislike hell or high watermelon but it didn't matter, they didn't have either one. I think she thought hell or high watermelon was the name of the brewery.

This guy I work with " I like ale it's more flavorful then regular beer." also from the same guy "Ale sure is more expensive then regular beer." He also has been buying Game of Thrones beer just b/c it has GOT on it & he tells me he tried the Take the Black Stout first thing he said about it aside from that he drank it in a chilled glass was "man it was a dark beer" :smack:

 

[unionrdr]

NO DUH! but you should at least give him an "E" for effort!

Traffic was bad coming home yesterday and I spy a new Taphouse. Been open for 2 weeks so I stop in to let traffic die down. Buy a flight of samplers. One white IPA, 3 IPA's and a saison. The three IPA's tasted almost exactly the same. I was looking if I wanted to try something else when I see they have Coors Light for a growler price of $12. Only the nitro was more expensive. These are from some of the best breweries in the northern part of the state.

"All homemade beer tastes like Samuel Adams."

Sure...except when it doesn't.

Do you know my father in law? To him every beer I brew is either 'just like' a Sam Adams or a Guinness. Even my blonde ales, IIPAs, etc. :smack:

 

[unionrdr]

Well, in all fairness, Sam Adams does brew some 60 different beers. So maybe he's partly right?

I did consider bringing that up, but I think it would have blown his mind if I suggested there were more than 4 styles* of beer.

*Bud Light, Miller Lite, Coors Light, Dark Beer

 

[unionrdr]

You might have a point there. If he gets to liking even a few of them, you could create a monster...

Yes, but they all taste pretty much the same too.

I've got family that claims to be able to taste the difference between the BMCs, but if you give them a wheat, a pale ale, and a stout side by side they probably would say they all taste the same.

I can tell the difference between B, M, & C, most of the time

Yeah, for a group of people who have trained our palettes to recognize lots of distinct flavors, that doesn't strike me as odd at all, especially for those of us that spent their fair share of time drinking fizzy yellow beer before moving on. I've never tried to differentiate between Coors and Bud, but I can definitely tell Miller apart from the others.

Now, if you sat down a row of samples of BMC and all the big budget brands (Beast, Natty, etc.) and tried to identify each, that would be an interesting experiment. Or maybe not...

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Sure there are differences, I just think it's funny anything darker than BMC tastes the same.
For reference, my grandfather considered Yuengling a "dark beer" and would never touch the stuff because it "tasted dark"

 

[zippybasher]

Yes, but they (SA) all taste pretty much the same too.

FAIL, I think not. They are not the best, but they are still really good. Fezziwig vs Lattitude 48....Same...

WAIT, I get it. That WAS something funny I overheard about beer.

 

[unionrdr]

I like Latitude 48. I combined the flavors of that one with The piny/resiny thing in pliny for my Cougar Mountain IPA.:rockin:

 

[mmlipps]

I politely disagree with this statement!

Their Double Bock and Boston Light taste the same as well.

 

[day_trippr]

Ok, so at least there's something funny in this thread

Cheers!

They must use the same yeast or malt or maybe water in both...

 

[GuldTuborg]

Think it's just the same beer in both, only with a different label.

 

[thatjonguy]

With food coloring to make one darker.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

I hear they add coloring to most beers to get the color they want.
Foodbabe said it, so it must be true.

CARAMEL COLORING! because she heard brewers used caramel for color

Is that before or after the beaver anal gland?

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

I use that in place of dry hopping. I find it gives my IPAs a bit of an extra punch.

 

[GrogNerd]

I'm pretty sure beaver anal gland is a secondary FV thing, but I've been known to be wrong

I've always used my Anal glands fresh and as a whirlpool addition lends itself a certain (muah mama mia)

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I just squeeze 4 live wolverines into my my beers. I adjust to the color I want by how hard I squeeze.
