Funny things you've overheard about beer

[m00ps]

Why not drink Brawndo? It has electrolytes.

what are electrolytes?
its what plants crave

"World Class" alco-pop?!?! What BJCP category is that now? If I hadn't already lost faith in BA, I surely have now....

BA has it classified as an herb spiced beer, which seems fair. It is down to a score of 86 currently. I am fairly sure the Brewer submitted a bunch of phony reviews (probably before releasing the product) just so they could grab a screen shot and make that claim in advertisements. 86 is still more than it deserves...

A commercial on Mike and Mike this morning. I think it was for Dave & Busters or something. Not that bad but it made me chuckle. Not sure if they were trying to appeal to the BMC crowd by throwing in lagers as separate from craft beer or what. Went something like:

"Over 25 taps of craft beers, ciders, and lagers."

This is the main issue I run into people when I see if they are interested in sampling some of my beer

"what kind of beers do you like"
"oh I drink lagers, ales are too hoppy for me"
*frowns, hands them a hefeweizen or saison*
"hey this has a lot of flavor for a lager"
*facepalm*

They have no clue what a lager is. To me, its like if someone asked me what kinds of automobiles I prefer and I responded "oh I like cars generally"

LOL I just checked the score myself.

I bought a 6 pack, drank two, gave one away and still have the other 3. I wonder if it ages well?

I like 4-doors generally, diesel school buses are too torquey for me

My wife's grandmother bought a 6-pack for her fridge. I'm sure they were intended for me as we have dinner at her house about once a week. I choked down 2 of them and now feel queasy just thinking about drinking another but I don't want her to think that I don't appreciate the gesture. 1st world problems, but still...

apparently one of guys at an upcoming brewery in Rapid City, SD told my brothers Al & Durrell that them boiling on the stove is ghetto. and to think of how many brewers I've known (myself included) that have made so many great beers for many years on a stove top. obviously we've all been doing it wrong for many many decades.

No, that would be using a forced air propane space heater to boil.

I just burn wood out in my back-yard toilet.

Just put the dang kettle straight on the engine block on my truck. I assumed you all did the same.

They have to be ICE COLD, and then they're pretty good. But we're talking "is that an ice crystal forming?" cold.

I've also heard they're amazing in root beer floats.

Nothing more rustic than brewing over a dumpster fire.

Naw, man. The toilet isn't in a little house. It's just sittin' out in the yard.

Just means you "upcycled" your old $hitter into a patio fire pit.

Damn. Now you tell me. All this time I've been wasting my time making swill. Should've known it was my stupid stoves fault.

Fun fact: Not Your Father's Root Beer is owned by the same company that makes Four Loco and qualifies as what I believe is a gruit.

What brewery? I'll bring in some beers next time I'm out there and tell them how I mill in my blender and brew in a bag.
