Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Pyg]

Ditto here. I've effectively ruined my wife and father in law's taste for sub par beer.

Still working on my side of the family

I have just the opposite, No matter how many IPA's I give my father he still buys only Labatt Blue or Yuenling.

He knows the difference between good whiskey and cheap whiskey
He prefers Titleist over Top Flight
Porche over Ford
but still only drinks Labatt Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is probably one of the funniest and most accurate things posted in the entire thread.

Awesome. He should maybe stop and think about what happened?



I was chatting with some good ol boys down at the plumbing supply store and they were regaling me with stories of their beer drinking days (well, their previous beer drinking days. I am fairly certain that at least one of them was having a beer drinking day right then and there!)



He claimed the kegged beer gave worse hangovers because of the formaldehyde they put in the kegs as a preservative. He was dead serious.

How old was he? Maybe 70 years ago they did something stupid like that.

They supposedly put that stuff in the beer served to the soldiers in Vietnam...

 

[soccerdad]

I'm probably going to start kegging at least some of my beer in 2015 .... where can I get formaldehyde?

He also could not understand why Red Stripe is not brewed in Jamaica.

Red Stripe's not brewed in Jamaica?

(Looks it up on Wikipedia)

Well how about that. Red Stripe distributed in the US is brewed in the US. Red Stripe for everywhere else, however, is indeed still brewed in Jamaica. But I'd hardly say that such obscure trivia is common knowledge.

Supposedly they gave the soldiers in Vietnam a lot worse than that.

I did a bit of looking up and it appears that Chinese beer makers have used formaldehyde as recently as a few years ago (clarifying agent??) and some probably still do. It probably DID happen some years ago in the US now that I've read up on it, but probably not for a long time. I'm guessing this guy is about 60 or so.

FIL was in Vietnam and he said they used to get Vietnamese beer call 88 (or 33??) and it was pronounced "Bah Mooy Bah" but the soldiers all called it bombitty bomb.

According to food babe, there are lots of beers with formaldehyde!

I've had '33'... tastes like BMC.

I know a guy. I mean... what? no. no idea.

 

[Psylocide]

Had a friend over recently that is as much (or more) into "craft beers" as I am, told me I'm not a true beer connoisseur because I put away a 30 pack of Busch Light a week.

I told him I was a connoisseur, but I'm also an alcoholic... ended that conversation pretty quick.

My blood boils whenever that "woman" does an "investigation".

Watch out she has "her investigations" laid out for January, according to her Face book page

The only thing that needs to be investigated is her quack investigations.

I bet foodbabe is actually Billy-Klubb pulling a fast one on us yet again. Well played, Klubb, or should I call you foodbabe?

Does she mention that formaldehyde occurs naturally in pears, bananas, potatoes, carrots, and a whole bunch of other food plants?

 

[lolznrofls]

At Thirsty Dog Breweries tap room I went to the mens room and they have an exit sign from LaTrobe P.A. with the Pabst logo on it with the arrow pointing at the urinal..I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself before I could get my fly down..

GMOs put them there! That's why we need organic, and tin foil hats!

[Cheesy_Goodness]

That's a rare oversight in her otherwise exemplary investigative reporting.
Probably.

Yaknow. That picture, even if it were serving actual beer, is the perfect definition of the BMC beers. Stickers, beads, plastic cups, and all that gimmicky stuff.

 

[JonM]

I see foodbabe finally took down her long post about why she doesn't use a microwave. The short version is: microwaving water makes it form crystals that are the same shape as the crystals that form when you think negative thoughts around water, or when you say "Hitler" or "Satan" near water.

Looks like Palmer's book doesn't need revision after all. That's a relief.

Where are the cups that flash a light with the music or the cup that friends the people you cheers with?

Guy at work tried to explain to me yesterday that Guinness is a craft beer. No offense to anyone but somehow it doesn't fit into that category in my head... ? I've stopped arguing and started nodding with a patronizing smile. A non beer friend also told me that Michelob was the best beer ever created and anything darker was nasty. Again... smile and nod.

I thought you were joking. Then I found a cached version of the article...hooooooly crap.
