Funny things you've overheard about beer

[MaxStout]

It's "pop" around here in Minnesota, and in South Dakota where my parents live. My first job out of college was in downstate Illinois, not far from St. Louis. Everyone said "soda." But 100 miles north, it was "pop." Once I ordered a hot fudge sundae, pronouncing sundae like "Sunday." I was corrected by the waitress. They say SUN-duh. "Missouri" is muh-ZER-uh. Basically, any word that ends with a vowel gets the schwa sound.

In parts of Wisconsin, the drinking fountain is the "bubbler."

Second ingredient is beer, which apparently is made with corn syrup. Now wait just a damn minute here. What kind of **** beer are they using that has corn syrup in it!

It should read "Hope you wanted some beer in your sodium".

"corn syrup" is a mostly glucose syrup with possibly some maltose. most of us brew beer with those exact ingredients in them, just from powder instead of liquid.

Well that is what the Wisconsin based company Kohler called their drinking fountain when they started making it. It's kinda like how we all call facial tissues Kleenex.

I was thinking the same thing. It's not Karo, it's pure glucose.

And it is so delicious!

So what do the people in the "other" category call it?

If you brew all grain, hopefully your barley doesn't have all the potentially harmful effects of modified gmo corn, which is what they are making corn syrup out of. I still stand my ground; beer should not have corn syrup as an ingredient.

Is there a "funny things you read about beer in the 'funny things you've overheard about beer thread'" thread I can post this in?

You wouldn't be the first to quote a post in this thread to this thread.

I almost did.

Is it in the wrong spot? Did I over complicate this typically railroaded thread? Should I have said, hey some lady said "hey, this has beer in it". Do you not like the finer things in life that making your own beer affords you? Sorry if anyone likes drinking nasty, industrialized, watered down, gmo and chemical laden beer. I did not mean to offend you. I don't care that I did, but that was not my intention. I just thought it was funny that beer was included in a product I looked at, and corn syrup was listed as an ingredient in said beer. If you have ever used corn syrup as the #2 most plentiful ingredient in you beer, say aye and show yourself.

We're pretty defensive of our Karo down in these parts. The HS team in Karo (Cairo) is the Syrupmakers

ps .. I don't use it in my beer

I'm pretty close to a Cairo IL. Not a place you want to be after dark.

Eh it's all good. Someone (not me had too many to night) should email the maker and ask who supplies their beer for the product in question. For all we know they may just be miss guided that grain corn is converted in the mash.

Maybe it's hard root beer.

I could see Campbell's behind that whole craze.
Campbell's beet meeting minutes :
-gain market share in "craft" beer marketplace
-produce yet unknown product with large profit margin by using currently avaliable ingredients (gmo cerial grains, corn syrup, cream of celery?)
-make it attractive to "young adults"

This one was news to me, and certainly made me laugh out loud!

Kinda contrary for an IPA, yes?

Balanced or drinkable?

 

[unionrdr]

Well, IPA's, with all their hops, have a lingering bitterness/tartness, citrusy sorta thing going. Smoothing that out to where some of the brightness/tartness/bitterness is gone is sorta contrary to what an IPA is to me, not having sampled one...

 

[NickTheGreat]

I kinda want to try it. Kinda.

 

[drainbamage]

I haven't heard great things so far, but I like nitro beers enough that I'll probably pick some up when I see it.

I just haven't seen it yet.

 

[cyanmonkey]

I can only see nitro affecting mouthfeel. It shouldn't really affect taste.

 

[biochemedic]

One of the local places here in Pittsburgh (Mad Mex) occasionally puts an IPA up on nitro...not bad, but I sort of prefer regular carbonation for an IPA... And it does kind of affect taste as well because the aroma is different and not as up front...

Yeah... Had a pale on nitro and wasn't impressed. I usually like it, so I was disappointed when the cool nitro pour was so lackluster in the flavor dept. really took something out of that beer, which was surprising to me.

Unless it was a bad keg or lines or something like that.

What are the harmful effects of modified GMO corn? I'm not aware of a single one.
