Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Psylocide]

lol! I want to hear the "hype" that is around Yuengling Light! :beard: I should probably PM the guy.

I have sat around the hunting camp and heard BMC drinkers rave about how good a beer Yuengling is.

This while I was drinking my Odell Mountain Standard going "mmhmm, sure..."

So I could see it.

When Yuengling first hit Ohio a few years back, that's all people were talking about.

We still don't have Yuengling here. People go nuts on my friends who summer in PA to bring it back for them.

 

[SnakeRidge]

When it came to SC when I lived there, a lot of people went crazy about it. I had a buddy in college that used to bring back trunkloads of it back from PA.

I was under the impression that people in Texas only drank Shiner.

same thing back in the early 80s when Coors started showing up east of the Mississippi

we were so dumb back then

well... let's say we were ignorant.

Rivers of it, true.

Shiner Prickly Pear Pale Ale.

That's something funny about beer sitting in my fridge. My Texan wife thought it would be good. It is not.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Growing up in PA, I'm legally obligated to drink Yuengling* (was even baptized in the stuff probably), so when I turned 21 that was the first case I brought home.
I lived with my grandparents at the time so when my grandfather opened up the fridge and saw Yuengling his reaction was "Who put this dark sh!t in here!?"
Then he reached for a Busch Lite and all was well.

*Even if it wasn't law, I would still enjoy a few from time to time.

I've never tried that, but for some reason the name reminds me of that one line from Ted:

"Michelob Tuscan Orange Grapefruit...my God, America is imploding."

It's definitely not what it could be. Ruby Redbird is great though.

I've hesitated to try Redbird because of the Prickly Pear.

I really like eating prickly pear though. Last time we were in Round Rock, they were blooming and we brought a bunch home. Never knew you could eat a damn cactus.

Oh yeah... some are much more fun than others.

Forgot about those.

Dood, you gotta savor something that rare and beautiful.

Has it been properly cellared?

In Chicago, people get the same way about New Glarus, which isn't distributed in Illinois. Now, New Glarus is way better than Yuengling and BMC. But it's not nearly as great as Chicago beer fans pretend it is. It's just the lure of the hard to get.

about 16 years ago I was cleaning a carboy after btttling a stout. my roommmate, Preston (after filling the carboy with water) says, "Even when he's cleaning his beer is darker than Bud." I got a good laugh at the time. I was most definately drunk at the time. I still have the carboy.

Speaking of "canadian" fries....what the hell do you americans use vinegar for if you don't put it on your fries???

BBQ sauce (cider vinegar.)

Cleaning windows (white vinegar.)

We make pickles, of course. :rockin:

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

If anything can go on fries, it's vinegar...sometimes gravy, but mostly vinegar

The Ruby is good. The Holiday Cheer is good, too. I mean, their standard offering is ok, but they do a good job on some of those specials.

It was sorta funny when I was on the phone with the people that handle microsoft's on-line repairs. Darn Indians are hard to understand at times. Woman didn't know what to do for a tick when I explained I didn't want my Beersmith & open office files wiped just to fix the problem. I told her I was a home brewer & wrote books about home brewing as well. Then I got the, "oh, ok, well..." bit. I think she lost her program for a tick or two there?...

How come posts get deleted if they argue with a mod, or if they go too far off topic, but comments like "darn Indians" are allowed? I guess I don't get the rules around here.

Her pause was probably more like, "Oh great, another hick from America."

Mods, how about a warning against bigotry on the forum??

I meant no bigotry at all, but it just seems odd to me that Microsoft repairs sends me to India to get my computer fixed on-line, if possible. I have trouble understanding them is all. I was surprised they didn't have someplace over here in America handling such things. Hick my foot. Just part country & part city from my parental lineage. Others mention such things & it goes by without another thought...but I get singled out???

Mark your calendars: I am the voice of reason. Y'all are gonna have to stop the "bigotry" back and forth before this thread gets locked.

Cheese, gravy, cheese and gravy, chip shop curry sauce (bright yellow stuff that's not like any real curry sauce from any part of the world), mushy peas, baked beans and vinegar.

All these can be (no, should be) served on chips (fries).

Ketchup and mayonnaise? ...... Only if you're Belgian.

6/13/15. Billy was reasonable. The sober ones among us felt compelled to day drink, in memorial.
