Stouts are the beer you get from the bottom of the barrel, and light beer is served from the top of the barrel. This guy really believed this.

Where does this old myth come from?

Maybe if you're re-pitching it's easier to go from lighter beer to dark beer so since you're dumping the stuff from the bottom of the barrel into the dark beer wort then the stuff from the bottom of the barrel must be dark beer?

Or am I just overthinking it?

Strange side effect is some people glow at night after its consumption and conspiracy theorists claim this is how North Korea knows who to arrest next.

"...Exudes National Flavor."

Copied straight from my online dating profile.

I didn't think so either (except, of course, Kim Jong Un), but what else are you going to do to forget for a while that you live in North Korea?

Damn. I just came here to post that I heard an old guy in sales, "they made a beer that doesn't give you a hangover finally, yeah it's made out of ginseng". Stupid.

Did you also hear the recipe was created by Kim Jong Un on his first time homebrewing? He hit his gravity dead-on, used unicorn tears as the sparge water, and it currently holds a perfect rating on BA.

Ever throw up a bag of Dorito's and about a gallon of Labatt Blue after taking some pain killers? There are no words to describe how foul...

Overthinking it. Just a ignorant statement -- pretend it is an email from your great uncle that starts with "Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: OMG YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS!!!1!"

Was watching some guys bottle beer. First guy had done it a few times before. Other guy was brand new and was interested in helping.

Inexperienced guy says:
"What happens if we don't fill the bottle up all the way before we cap it?"

Experienced guy gets very serious and says:
"Never EVER do that. Are you listening carefully? NEVER DO IT. It's very dangerous. The bottle will explode. Think about it -- AIR IS PRESSURE. Makes sense right?"

After that, the inexperienced guy says "Hey man I have kids and this hobby seems very dangerous."

He was completely turned off and eventually sorta just went home.

Yeah, I did hear that. The old guy also said Kim used a glass carboy. Can you believe that? Talk about flirting with death.

I don't overhear much, but I like to read all the recent reviews of something I just checked in on Untappd. Occasionally people's comments or discussions with their friends on their check ins are way off base. Recently someone told their friend that something was a nice smoked beer when whatever it was had no smoked malt in the grain bill whatsoever.

Apparently barleywine is the only brewing that actually uses barley, hence the name......or so I overheard

Perhaps the idea that in Germany bock beer is made with the stuff they cleaned out of barrels? That is what I had heard or read many years ago... What I know about brewing now it doesn't really make sense, but back in the day... Bock on the shelves spring has arrived.
Here's info about bock not a word about cleaning the barrels...

Looks like I wasnt the only one who was determined to go entirely against the directions on the prescription. I literally had my dad sneaking me in 32oz growlers to split in the hospital. Apart from maybe that liquid morphine stuff, that beer kept me in better spirits than anything else

Hopefully, all it will lure are some travel agency spammers.

I don't know if these count, but I read these on this site and they made me laugh a bit..

"Brewing anything less than 6% ABV is just a waste of my time"
and
"I refuse to buy any beer which doesn't list the hops used"

(Names withheld as I would like to avoid a flame war. )

Stop quoting me!
The first one atleast!

I totally fall in the over 6% crowd.

 

[slym2none]

I have yet to make a sub-6% beer. I have even tried, but I seem to get better efficiency even when I don't want it.

I guess I should accept my destiny.

 

[Wolfdust]

I find I make my abv from 3.5 to 13. The abv I can't make is the one I intend to make. Either my efficiency is to high/low or it doesn't attenuate correctly being to high or low. The closest I get is one whole percent.

I don't see what's funny about a blurry budweiser sign.

That was actually a decent beer, if I had to drink a BMC product.

silly! that guy is wearing a blue shirt! I mean, c'mon! BLUE?!? bwahahahahhaa!!!!

 

[Dave37]

Never heard of it didn't realize it was a beer. I stand corrected then. Thought it was just a messed up sign.

it's not a beer by my standards. and a blue shirt! ha!

 

[slym2none]

Yeah, they made it for a short while, about 5-6 years ago. Actually a drinkable Budweiser product.
