Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Billy-Klubb]

about 3 months ago one of the Mexicans at work changed the screen saver on the Log In computer to, "Say Yes To Tacos!" I want tacos for breakfast.

[GrogNerd]

no, I did not put it there, and it was gone a week later

 

[flars]

I might be a little slow. Could you focus in on the what?

Not really about beer but brewing related:

I asked a buddy of mine to stop in and feed my dogs and let them out on his way home from work yesterday.
He did and sent me a text that said " Love the homemade granola bars!"

Now, it is well known that my wife and I make about everything we possibly can, but neither of us care for granola, and we have never made any granola bars. Puzzled, I sent back "???granola???"

Does anyone else eat spent grains while cleaning out their mash tun/mash bag? That's the only part of cleanup that I enjoy.

I'd eat the sh!t out of this dog trea- sorry, "granola bars".

Anytime after the mash rest you will find me snacking on them. Brewing is hungry work

The DB sticker on the door I'm guessing, but I don't know which brewery that is..

Found this a little while back in Whistler (Canada), not sure how the Bud/Bud Light fall into that category.... View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1427331255.933314.jpg

was a small Devils Backbone sticker in the window

Never would've gotten that.

I suppose the logo doesn't mean a lot to those of us that don't have that particular brewery distributed near us....

I was at the Berghoff in Chicago the other day when it was real nice outside. For those of you who don't know, it is the first licensed establishment to have a liquor license after prohibition. They serve a lot of German beers brewed for them by a brewery in Wisconsin. Anyway, as I was eating my dinner some kids came by and sat down next to me. They seemed kind of young, but I figured if you were underage, why would you go to a really nice beer hall downtown? When the bartender asked for their ID's, one of them scanned the beer list and the other rifled through his wallet for his ID.

After a minute of looking the one at the menu said ", They don't even serve Corona here, who doesn't serve Corona. Sorry man, we aren't gonna stay here." I was so impressed with their incredibly refined palates/horrible game plan.

I think Econ was the first great derail. Tacos is just the most recent delicious one. But I digress.



Yesterday I interviewed a possible new roommate/tenant. The guys girlfriend saw me reorganizing my garage and all my brewing equipment and asked me "Ah, so you make your own beer?" If she were single...

Sound alike a good roommate to get and not keep long.

I've tried some before when I made a batch. They aren't terrible.

With some not-dog-friendly additions (chocolate chips, raisins, a little extra sugar) I could see them being a legitimate snack.

I was actually kicking this idea around myself. My wife likes those bars during the day & I have two bags of German spent grains in the freezer...

I'll get silly on Corona w/lime on a hot day.

Frank the Tank style.

Limes are for vodka tonics. Do you salt your Busch Light?

no lime for me. I top up my corona with citrus rum.
It is the only beer SWMBO will drink.
And I have to say it is darn good sitting by the pool.


I use busch light to water my tomatoe garden!

Found this a little while back in Whistler (Canada), not sure how the Bud/Bud Light fall into that category....

For some reason "Domestic" usually refers to "Macro Adjunct Brand." Possibly going with the same style as domestic cars? I really don't know why they'd have them in the same group as craft.

A group of us were at a bar not too long ago and as expected the local craft brews were at a premium price compared to the "domestic" One of us pointed out to the server that "This brewery is 20 minutes that way. <points> You can't get much more domestic than that!" It didn't work.

I have had those before. My town's valley flooded in 2011 with ~12 feet of water from Canada.

They sent that stuff in by the truck load, which was very cool of them that they actually did that. I know why they did it, but still nice when bottled water was the only safe thing to consume.

But it tasted like they filtered it through used pool filters. Better than pooping yourself from drinking tap water...I guess.

Now that sounds tasty!

Yeah an old classmate of mine volunteered after Katrina and brought back some canned water. I don't think it even had a liner so it tasted like metal. Worse than any iron infested well water I mean, it was bad.

"How do you get alcohol in your beer? Do you mix it with soju?"

 

[Mojzis]

I had to google that.

Basically imagine really ****ty vodka mixed 50-50 with sugar water. Nasty stuff.
