Funny things you've overheard about beer

Good stuff

Drinking out of a (clean) oil can would be awesome.

 

[drainbamage]

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

Have at it, man! (Unless you own a brewery, in which case we need to discuss royalty agreements.)

My two hang-ups are...

1) Again, cleaning the jugs to reach a point resembling food-grade. Thoughts, anyone?
2) I can't imagine those things have any kind of pressure rating for bottling. However, if you keg, they should make a suitable short-term transportation container. Imagine showing up at a party with a box full of them!

It is a CBA (Craft Beer Alliance) brand which is mostly owned by A-B InBev. It may be entirely owned by them, but I'm not 100% sure.

The other breweries licensed to produce the Kona brand are all located on the mainland in Oregon, Washing and New Hampshire.

But the main brewery is on the big island.

Never been to the main brewery on Hawaii. The menu's that list location have Kona as Portland based. The resturants seem to up sell Maui Brewing and their local breweries more.

Commission some in food grade pet? Maybe see if you can arrange aluminum oil cans? Heck. You could always go with the old style oil cans.

Maybe for serving.

I was thinking of something along these lines.

Talk about presentation

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

I for one refuse to drink Mexican beer pretending to be Texas beer, especially when there are so many good Texas craft breweries.

All of my coworkers that worked in Austin would only talk about Shiner, Dr. Pepper, and BBQ. That's as far as my Texas exposure goes.

That's old school. I like it!

when we worked in Wyoming whenever some guy was rambling about Texas, one of my coworkers/friends would go, "Texas... Texas? Never heard of it. Is it that county in Oklahoma?"

my wife worked in Texas for a little while. she was explaining to one of her Wyoming coworkers about Texas pride and how they would cut their cheese blocks in the shape of the state. her coworker proudly claimed, "Wyoming does that too!" my wife replied, "Most cheese is cut into rectangles."

Spoetzel Brewery was founded by Czechs. What brewery are you talking about?

Owned by a San Antonio based family owned private company, brewed in Texas... Sounds Texan to me.

Shiner is good for what it is. It's macro-beer, based on production volume, but most of their beers are pretty tasty.

You know what the make that never gets any hype? Bohemian Black Lager. That's a fine beer.

Also this stuff!

Yup! They used to be opened with your can opener which usually had a bottle opener on the other end! Symmetry!

 

[DrunkleJon]

I am probably showing my youth here, but didnt some of the spouts have combination openers on them too? Much like the sharp point on churchkeys? I thought that was part of what locked the spout on them.

 

[unionrdr]

Yes, they did. I might still have one someplace?

 

[Kiichi]

Over the weekend I found out that my 96 year old grandma is more open minded about craft beer and my homebrew than 80% of the people under 50 I have met and especially German folks my age (23).

I found that to be equally awesome and depressing.

 

[botigol]

A little pricey, but made of hdpe and without oil to clean either:

With the tamper-evident ring, that would be awesome to open in front of someone or to have them open...as the ring pops, "Oh, he wasn't joking...that's a new container of oil!"

Ah, perfect! And it's blank so you can make your own labels.

Perhaps a bit of an inside joke, it is owned by the Gambrinus Company, the importer of Corona prior to takeover by Constellation (IIRC).

Just wanted to add in information that is new to me, Carlos Alvarez (founder/owner of Gambrinus) became an American citizen in 2001. So there goes my misguided Mexican beer joke. That said I do love ***** Modelo, it was the first beer I tried and genuinely enjoyed.

I'm assuming a lot of us have seen John Oliver's opinions of Bud Lite/ Bud Lite Lime? The Long John Silver comment killed me:

That begs the question: What kind of beer does John Oliver drink when he is not drinking Bud Lite Lime?

 

[Edecker]

Was at a sports bar with a buddy of mine and asked for their beer selection. The waiter mentioned they had "a lager," to which I asked, "Oh, what lager?" His response was, "You know, just a regular lager."

.......

Now mind you, I'm from PA and about 35 mins from the Yeungling Brewery, but c'mon...

 

[m00ps]

I catch so much crap from my dad and Uncle since I got them really into craft beer from my brewing. They think its hilarious that my initials are BMC. I shouldve never explained that acronym to them. Or SWMBO so someone else...

The word "lager" in PA is universally understood to mean Yeungling. I'm from AL and I know that. And I think it's ridiculous.

Is Alabama one of those states where every fizzy, sugary soda is a "Coke?"
