Man drinking imperial stout at local micro: "Wow, this has a lot of coffee going on"
Brewer: "There's actually no coffee in this batch, we sometimes put some in though"
Man: "wow where do those flavors come from then, the hops?"
Brewer: "...yeah"

In his defense he was very busy filling about 20 growlers of their insanely good double ipa, but he could have not misinformed this poor guy who thinks there are coffee hops now

Sounds like something I would do just to be smart@$$.
 
The SWMBO and I went up north to a micro brewery that has a bent canoe paddle as its logo. All sorts of hipsters sitting around with suspenders and shaved sides of their heads drinking beer and having a good time.

Us old people walk in and and wait in line to get a couple of flights along with Nitro samples. The two hipsters behind us are talking about their selections, "Man, that last Nitro Cold Press Stout really woke me up, who knew that nitrous oxide could do that? Last time I had a cavity filled, they had me huff the stuff and I feel asleep."

My loving German (AKA, no filter) wife spun around and said, "I think you confused Nitrogen with Nitrous Oxide and I think its the coffee that woke you up last time you had it, not the nitro."

Blank look, slowly realizing his mistake, his eyes open really wide and says, "Really? The dentist used coffee to put me to sleep?

My wife just turned around and said, "God, just get me a beer, please?!?"

Was this in Duluth mn.?
Indeed, are YOU the Hipster? :ban:
Don't be silly, Indeed is in Minnetonka......:)

Sounds like a classic case of the blind leading the blind. Maybe the employee was a growler filler and not the actual brewer.

Sounds like the brewer just gave up and wanted to end the discussion. I have had to do that at work with some people who don't want to process what is being said.

yeah pretty much, they guy knows his stuff so he definitely isn't saying what he thinks. All is good though because they are putting that stout into Herrandurra barrels! I'm pumped
 
Heineken commercial just said "made from only 3 natural ingredients." Made me laugh, but then it made me think. They would obviously know how to count, so they didn't accidentally miscount. Which makes me think that the key word there is "natural." Must mean they use hop oil instead of hops. I got a good giggle at first, and then my mind went into over analyzing mode.

They just forget to count the water.
