Funny things you've overheard about beer

[unionrdr]

Hey, a drunk, PO'd redneck can be a lot like a viking...maybe worse. Nevermind how I know. The vikings are descended from Germanic tribes spreading all over Europe. My German ancestors came to WV, owning thousands of acres, brewing wines & corn likker for centuries...got drunk, shot stuff & bbq'd!

 

[ReverseMonk]

Distilled wine is brandy. Port is just style of wine.

Although his information was disorganized and scattered, it wasn't completely all wrong.

You can after all distill beer. We call it Whiskey.

And isn't distilled wine = port?

In any case, he had the right ingredients to say something profound. He just didn't have the right formula.

 

[joshesmusica]

again, no

not even a little

I agree, not even a little.

Vikings seemed a bit barbaric at times (only because they raided and fought on their own terms, not according to anybody's rules of war), but they were highly civilized groups of people. They were also some of the first to treat women as equals.

 

[Kee]

So the point being that rednecks are less civilized than Vikings?

 

[unionrdr]

Contrary to popular belief, rednecks are not a bunch of lazy, stupid hillbillies. Most are mountain folks with a short fuse & a lot of common sense. Just a different lifestyle. But not all have a bunch of dead cars in the yard & live in a trailer. That's a stereotype. Darn good shots too, since they live at or near someplace to practice a lot plinkin'. And you wanna talk barbaric? Piss off a redneck...

 

[CGVT]

Edited: It wasn't funny or about beer.

Dunno, That is a bit of a stereotype as well. Rednecks, like any other group span a large range of types. True, most people think of rebel flag flying, shotgun rack in a pickup, yokels. I know many salt of the earth good nice, non aggressive, mild tempered rednecks. Heck. I have my redneck tendencies.

 

[unionrdr]

I got one whole side of my family full of'em. Yeah, some are non-aggressive, but all shoot, hunt, fish, or can at least dress a fresh kill. Make wine & liquor too. Good folks generally, but try not to piss'em off...

Yup. Know a lot of 'em myself, and we're nowhere near a mountain range.

 

[unionrdr]

Mine are mostly in Appalachia...

Do any of them ever say funny **** about beer?

 

[slym2none]

Distilled wine is brandy. Port is just style of wine.

If only someone had said that sooner...

 

[LAHammer]

Redneck: "Hey man, got any beer?"
Me: "Now that's funny!"

 

[biochemedic]

You might be a redneck if you can't say anything funny about beer?

 

[1977Brewer]

A redneck in my office said that drinking bottle sediment gets you drunk quicker.

 

[slym2none]

The only thing that does for me is make me fart more.

 

[DrunkleJon]

A redneck in my office said that drinking bottle sediment gets you drunk quicker.

But Jim Koch says that yeast keeps you from getting drunk.

 

[unionrdr]

Try showing up without any! they'll likely jeer you outta the place...

 

[krackin]

No. Can't happen, ever. Sounds like a poseur.

You have 'White Collar' office types, then there are 'Blue Collar' types factories, mills, freight, warehouse, services etc.

'Red Neck' is the outdoor, sun weathered worker, construction workers, cowboys, fishermen, farmers etc. The sun gives red necks due to burn.

Yes. Basically, you're French redneck. That's what you're implying, right?

 

[krackin]

Hmmmm. Bill collectors no doubt.

I was in the WineMonopoly today (seriously vinmonopolet.no, check it out) and overheard one of the cool, tattooed, man-pony-tail workers trying to describe a sour to one of the customers. I cringed, and cringed, and cringed. He was simply trying to sell one of the more expensive beers, and had no clue how to answer the questions. The guy asked how it had a different taste than normal, and the worker said, "Well, of course, it still has the taste of... grains. And you know it's got that. And well, it just has kind of a different taste, because it's brewed in a different way. Which is that they move it immediately to a keg (yes, a keg). And then it just becomes different at that point because they don't bottle it right away." I had to walk away... and out of the store. OK, I walked out of the store because I didn't find anything I wanted to purchase this time. But still...

That's about the right time for a, 'WEEEEELLLL ACTUALLY...'

 

[joshesmusica]

For sure. I just don't wanna be the 'WEEEEELLLL ACTUALLY...' guy.

 

[ElJefeBrews]
