Funny things you've overheard about beer

[unionrdr]

Hey, at least you tried. This guy was a lil slow compared to his brother, but I guess there's no accounting for taste, or knowledge of same. It can be rather amusing at the same time, though...

 

[WesleyS]

Someone please post something funny. It's Monday morning and I'm out of coffee. I NEED THIS.

It's not about beer, but this one time, on a homebrewing forum in a thread that never stayed on topic, this one guy was actually shocked that a huge company outsourced tech support to a foreign country. And then was even more shocked when the tech wasn't dazzled when he told them he's a homebrewer and author.

Just tried to get the point across as to why I said, thank you no, I don't wanna get erased... Then the guy went on to bottle some beer, get ready to secondary another, while all the time writing paper notes till the bloody thing gets fixed.

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.

1st off they are "fries" not "chips", just like it is "soda" not "pop".

Anyhow, if it isnt gravy, I have been putting a homemade jalapeno mustard on my fries, which was donated by a friend.
but I digress!
Back to beer.

over the weekend talking to a guy at a cookout. He indicated he never liked Guinness. Gave the usual foolish its too "thick, dark, taste like motor oil".
However he raved about being able to find bass ale on tap!

Frankly, tech support probably hears "but I don't want to lose my [photos/games/emails/homemade pornos]..." so much all day that
they get jaded and it doesn't even register with them anymore.

Once I can figure out a way to clean out quart motor oil jugs to the point I'd feel comfortable drinking from them, I'm bottling a stout in those things, just so the presentation can match the perception.

To a Northern Irishman like myself fries are multiple servings of "fry" consisting bacon, sausage, black pudding, fried tomato, fried mushroom, fried egg, fried soda bread and fried potato bread. Served with a mug of tea and eaten at breakfast my fries are a lot more exciting than yours, hence deep fried potatoes are chips. [emoji12]

Wait, when? Pics or it didn't happen.

That's the funny part. It will NEVER happen.

 

[Vamptrump]

All of BeerAdvocate agreed about something.

That's like saying "All of [insert large diverse community here] agreed about something." It won't happen. There is bound to be someone who disagrees.

I agree with Psylocide. As does every single person on HBT. Including you.

Especially you.

4 out of 5 of the voices in my head agree

#5 just likes to be contrary NO I DON'T

Wow, way to kill the funny thread...again.

But ours are fries too. We named them after the French. Thats why ketchup is allowed. Mayo is disallowed as it would make them look too much like "I surrender" white flags and we are nothing if not tolerant of peoples Nationalities here.

[masonsjax]

Agree to disagree.

Huh? The "French" part comes from the way they're cut. Cutting things into long, rectangular strips like that is called "frenching." You can French cut all kinds of things: potatoes (duh), carrots, turnips, etc.

You forgot beans!

Also see julienne cut (related to Frenching).

BRILLIANT! I wonder how long before a new startup brewery steals your idea?

I like to dip my French fries in ice cream.

Apologies in advance, but I HAVE to steal this idea!
