I was just asked by a coworker to make a bush light clone...because " its great beer"..then dude was totally thrown by the look of disgust on my face..or the comment about me force carbing urine being better

I challenge you to find an easier drinking pale lager.

Go on, I'll be waiting with my 30 pack by my side.
 
Probably the saison's trademark barnyardy thing mixing with the other flavors in the beer the way she tasted them?

Could be.

It's funny, I hand her a drink every now and again and won't tell her what it is in an effort to get a more honest review. She always says it smells like bacon.
Every. Single. Time.

I've found through judging that phenols are one of the most variably detected beer aroma compounds, maybe behind only diacetyl. Phenols can be perceived as smoky, I think that may be it.
 
And no..bacon has no gluten...what can give it gluten is food safe lubricants for equipment..my nephew has Cilliacs...I have to live gluten free when he visits..I have special pots and pans to use..and special dishes for him..
 
Beer Store Employee: "People come in here asking for New Glarus all the time (in Missouri)"

Customer from Wisconsin: "Why would you want Spotted Cow so bad?"

I like Spotted Cow, but I don't think that's what people are asking for...
 
Took a six pack of a black saison I'd made as a white elephant gift to a family Christmas party and had to tune everyone's questions out. Just nod and agree with whatever they may have been saying. I very well may have told them I made it in the bath tub and it's both gluten free and hypoallergenic. Some if them might actually be under the impression that I just dumped some molasses and bread yeast into a pitcher of pbr. I quickly fled the scene before a second onslaught of questions could follow.

I'm going to assume that to a number of these folks the words coming out of your mouth doesn't matter near as much as whatever "truth" they are making up. some of my family is real bad like that. stating facts is double talk wizardry to them. you've done the right thing, but you must stay hidden for a few days or there will be more questions.:mug:
 
Well, having been in the teacher's position before in college, I'd have corrected their misbeliefs in a New York second. I just can't resist correcting such falsehoods they may pass on as facts that could wind up making someone sick or worse. Why lie when telling the truth is so much more fun?!
 
let me answer your question with another question, "How many Abodiginols do you see male modeling?"

OK .... well I had to look that word up to be sure what it was. I still don't know because the only thing that came up was this thread. Leave it to Billy Klubb to punch me in the brain berries!

I just googled 'Abodiginols' to verify my memory of the word and this thread was the third thing to pop up on Google. Not bad for something posted 18 hours earlier.

Lol I just posted about it but I used yahoo and it was the only thing to come up..... need to start reading the whole thread before posting. Billy Klubb is famous and has whole a page dedicated to his new word.
 
It's a quote from Zoolander, a corruption of the term aborigine. :D Leave it to billy klub to nail your brain berries...

I figured on the aborigine but I had to be sure. As for zoolander I think we rented that but I don't remember it at all now I feel even dumber. ..... damn berries!:confused:
 
I had a horrible nightmare last night. I was brewing an IPA with a friend, and, after all the hop additions, I forgot my kettle was on the burner! It boiled a full three hours before I realized what had happened! Afterward, my wort was horribly bitter, and all I had on hand to fix the whole mess was 1oz of Citra!

Before someone snarky chimes in to ask what I overheard about beer, the answer is that it was my own screams as I awoke from that Hell.:drunk:
 
Overheard at Total Wine. Customer: what is it with all the beer in cans? Salesman: its what some new breweries are doing because its cheaper, helps them get started until they can buy bottling equipment.
