Homebrew Ethics: WIFE DUMPED MY BREW!

[MeatyPortion]

As Grandpa would say, "Do whatever gets you laid."

It really is as simple as that.

Hey, I do it myself. I pour myself a beer, and a couple sips into it I realize I really didn't want it. So I dump it. No biggie. In other words, get over it.

 

[TheMan]

What if he choked it down and didn't like it but told you it was great? Wouldn't that be far worse than it being dumped? He made it clear that he didn't like it. You are saved from giving him more and him not liking it and being a yes-man.

When I give beer out for people to try I let them know if they don't like it feel free to dump it out...but make sure they tell me that's what happened, they won't hurt my feelings. This way I know not to give them that type of beer again, OR if it was one I thought they would like, then I know something wasn't right about the beer.

It's all how you look at it. In the end, after you've brewed plenty of beer this one beer won't seem like anything significant.

Same here.

The quicker the homebrew runs out the more you need to brew eventually you will have to up your equipment size and then go all out bling on a new system to keep up with the demand. YOU SHOULD THANK HER! plus she does allow your drunken buddies to come over and serves them too boot.

Reminds me of something my grandfather would say. He'd say, "I'm goin' upstairs to **** your grandmother." He was an honest man, and he wasn't going to bull**** a four-year-old.

To the rest who say that my wife was being a good hostess, I wonder how your wives would react if you dumped the dried out pot roast she presented to you and said "I think I'll order myself a pizza for dinner instead."

in fairness, a good-sized pot roast probably cost as much as the ingredients for a 5 gallon batch.

You should really be mad at your buddy for complaining about free beer.

 

[Nurmey]

Using your own analogy, it was just a SLICE of pot roast. You guest didn't like it so your wife disposed of it and got him a sandwich. Would you still be mad at her for not slapping the slice on your plate instead of tossing it?

Just as long as she didn't make him a grilled cheese sandwich, I am okay with this.

 

[ChshreCat]

I wouldn't have gotten seriously mad (or at least wouldn't have shown it if it was) but I'd have harassed them both about it for the rest of the night.

Not even a slice. More like a single bite. If it was a ten gallon batch, a half of a bite. OP: Chill out!

Thanks all, I'm really enjoying this conversation.

I didn't make a big scene about it at the time, and really I just thought this would be a funny thread. But the truth is that it DID bother me a little bit at the time (maybe alcohol induced). I don't beat my wife over the little $hi!, (only important matters) but the point is that she waited until I was in the bathroom to dump it (i.e. she knew it would bug me). When I came back out I told my buddy to give me his IPA and I'd pour him another cream ale. Too bad, it was already gone.

To answer questions...

1. I lost $5 in the poker game.

2. I did not get laid that night.

3. My buddy did feal guilty, but not because I made him feel bad, he already knew it was dirty pool.

4. My wife won't drink my brews because of the occasional "floaters". I got revenge by drinking the last of her Newcastles that night while she was in the john.

5. The pot roast analogy is SOUND! Replace my plate with a friend's plate and have me dump it in the trash while my wife is in the bathroom. It wouldn't go over well. And...it's not about how much money a slice of pot roast costs compared to a pint! Its about the time and effort it takes to make it. Hell, I know how to throw a pot roast in the crock pot at 10:00 and pull it out at 5:00!

 

[3Card]

Wait...You had homebrew and you were drinking NEWCASTLE??? now THERE's a true disrespect of the HB!!!

 

[beergolf]

One word......

Chill

Dude it's not like it was a bottle of dark lord. It was a bottle of IPA and apparently a crappy one because it got dumped.

You brew at least 50 at time, one goes down the drain and you would have thought someone shot your dog. I'd hate to see what would happen if you car go backed into.

Ok now I'm just giving you a hard time but hey someone had to do it.

you drank ALL of her newcastle while she was in the john???? How freaking long was she in there taking a slam?

 

[McMalty]

you should have Mel Gibson'd her a$$. come out of the bathroom yelling YOU RUINED ME!!! ARRRGGGGGHH (HEAVY BREATHING, SNORTING). AT LEAST A MAN DESERVES A FULL IPA BEFORE HE GETS IN THE HOT TUB! AHHHRRRRR!!!!

+1 best post so far

 

[Monstar]

I thought you meant she dumped a whole batch of beer. I wouldn't worry about a glassful.

Same here lol

 

[jerichobill]

please mail me one pint of your best brew, so that i may dump it out and tell you to "chill", "man up", "grow up" and "relax".:rockin:

 

[ChshreCat]

I think that subconsciously you felt bad about how you acted and you drank the Newcastles to punish yourself. I can't see any other explanation.

 

[YNOT2K]

you were right, she was wrong. simple as that.

 

[McMalty]

maybe you should hit her with a toaster, like your father would have done to you if you dumped his beer. j/k j/k don't hit her with a toaster, you need that for toast

 

[motobrewer]

i like newcastle. in the can is best.

Throw in a good dose of Charlie Sheen and I think you're on to something. I WILL LOVE YOU VIOLENTLY!!! I WILL DRINK MY HOMEBREW VIOLENTLY!!!

Buy a Bentley for transporting your homebrew and then buy your wife a ford fiesta

I prefer it on tap. I realize this adds nothing to the conversation, but I felt it went well with the rest of the whole 9 pages I just read through.

A pathetic little incident that won't die.
