Funny things you've overheard about beer

Beer snobs suck.

Hahah that is a pretty funny thing overheard about beer

That vacuum cleaner joke kills me every time.

In case anybody is confused, that's really a product in Texas right now. I'm working on getting some "water" shipped to me. If you want a can, PM me and I'll let you know if/when I get it. I ship you two cans, one to try, one to keep.

Anyone that's spent more than 5 minutes on HBT knows that's the running "joke" around here. Doesn't make it any funnier the 43,978th time.

And frankly...show me a precious craft brewery voluntarily shutting down production to help out.

I stand by my previous comment. Beer snobs suck.

It's nice for those in need that they do this, but I notice they still put their logo prominently on the can. If it were truly a selfless act, the cans might just say "water". You're right, craft breweries can't usually afford to do this kind of thing, so it's good that they decided to do it, but I'll bet if it wasn't also a good publicity stunt, they might not have been so quick to act.

Perhaps there are craft breweries that do this as well, but have the class to do so anonymously.

Damn, the mood around here sucks. Why so serious? Someone post something funny.




OK, I'll get us started. I'm guilty of having done this. The wife gave me a crazy look when she found them.

So I guess the funny thing I heard was, "Why is there a 6 pack in the vegetable drawer?" Why not? Indeed, why not?

43,783rd time by my count. It was funny the first time I heard it. You know, after Hurricane Andrew.

My browser says page 500,so it's however one has the pages parsed. But your ratio is spot-on.

Heard this from a guy at the local bottle shop and tap room: he used to homebrew, mostly stouts, but gave it up because they didn't have much body. Then he started drinking commercial stouts, and found that it was really just that he didn't like stouts.

Maybe he'd like Bud Water?

Woah. Too soon.

random tidbits to throw in here:
Try putting 3-4 of the various macro beers in front of your buddies that are sternly dedicated to "I only drink Bud/Lite/Coors". See if they can actually tell the difference.

I talked to bartender about the Miller Fortune. Apparently it is targeted to whiskey drinkers who need a break from whiskey once in a while. Miller provides the bars with whiskey-size glasses, and the beer is slightly darker to resemble the color of whiskey, and the ABV is somewhere around 6.5%. He gave me a few bottles to take home, after trying one, I use the rest for boiling my brats!

Wow, 1000 pages of this thread. I hear if you pick out the funny and put it all side by side you reach 15 in total!

I considered this relatively funny in a maudlin, nihilistic sort of way. Actually is that a 1st for beer labelling? Maudlin nihilism as a humorous device?

I view it like any other company who allows their employees to take time out of their day, while on the clock, to volunteer at various charitable functions - a lot of times, there will be a requirement that you wear some form of company-branded apparel while you do so.

Personally, the BMC bashing on here gets old on a regular basis - but when it turns against a truly charitable act they do pretty much every time there is a large-scale disaster...

I'm a firefighter. To see people make fun of a company for doing something to help out people in need and the emergency responders helping them just flat out pisses me off.

They weren't making fun of the company for doing something to help others.
They were poking fun of a company who's beer they don't enjoy.

Saying all beer snobs suck, is pretty rude.
I'm a beer snob, I don't suck. I still enjoy crappy beer from time to time

Everyone appreciates volunteers. Relaaaaax.

Didn't that last round start with some one mentioning that a normal bud can made it in with all the emergency water cans?

Something funny would be the test panels where only 50% of the people recognize their own beer/product that have been on the job for 5+ years.

I don't know. I don't actually read anything, I just type all the words and then click on a random icon in the "smilies" window.

 

[SlickTX]

If you boil the contents of a Bud Water can and then watch it condense . . . do you see water droplets, or tears?

 

[unionrdr]

Depends on your point of view, doesn't it?

relaxing is for sissies! I'm a welder and to see people trying to make light of things for any reason pisses me off!

take inspiration from my Lakota Sioux friends: a little laugh goes a long way.

Back to the thread topic...
My friend after drinking a bottle I gifted him of my home brewed Scottish ale: "Man, that beer is good! Is it an IPA?"
Me:"Thanks... No, it's a Scottish Ale. The flavor is more malty than an IPA."
Friend:"Yeah, It kinda tastes like Chimay."
Me:

At least he liked it...
