Most annoying response when you tell someone you're a homebrewer?

[Krovitz]

Does it have all that yeast crap at the bottom? It's like drinking dirt.

My sisters husband cannot stop bitching about this. He will not even try a sip of homebrew.

 

[unionrdr]

@ skepace-wow,you too?! They even used a big heavy Bible on mine. Or this really long cuestick with an orange ball thing on the end for a long distance brain duster.
I'm waiting for one from my new lawncare guy I gave a beer to last week. I gave him one of my dark hybrid lagers...

What a ******. His loss.

"Wow, just Wow !! Now, I'm gonna take my shirt off and let you touch my Double D ******* !!!"

This is an annoying response??? I'd be more along the lines of

Your man card has been temporarily revoked. I believe they said it'd be back in 3 days.

Your son helps brew too?

 

[unionrdr]

No,my one son's Dr had him quit drinking & all the ghost,scorpian chiles. He has a tumor in his stomach. This is a stranger that does my lawn. Didn't say a word so far today.

 

[Krovitz]

The funny thing is, I got my sister (his wife) hooked on Allagash White. If you've never had it, it's bottle conditioned and you got to swirl the yeast to get that awesome flavor.

 

[DAlexander]

How do you get it in the keg?

Why do all the home beer makers I know have beards?

How long does it take? (I get this one so often it has become annoying)

You should start a brewery! I follow that one up with my educated guess at start up cost and ask them to invest, conversation ends quickly.

"What do you know about beer?! You're only 18"

Best answer.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I have not read through, but this is my most annoying, "Can you make Bud Light?" and my response, "I make beer. I p!$$ better than that."

 

[gometz]

Never thought about it because I repress my annoyance, but you're right, that could be the most annoying one. Usually I just say "depends on the style and type" and that will shut them up. If I try to begin explaining things I can see their eyes glaze over.

 

[gometz]

I have not read through, but this is my most annoying, "Can you make Bud Light?" and my response, "I make beer. I p!$$ better than that."

My standard response to that is: "I make Bud Light every day, leave it in the toilet" or "sure I can piss in a bottle for you"

Love it!

Hope that wasn't a REALLY FAT guy.

I think you need to ask them "Did the home brew come first or the beard?"

I got lucky, my girlfriend likes bearded manly men, and I hate shaving, so it made sense to just keep a beard (sometimes well groomed, sometimes not). The home brewing came later (since last year the cherry harvest was bad, New Glarus was not able to do their Cherry Stout, and Abita Purple Haze rarely lasts long than it getting cold in the fridge I figured it was a good excuse to start home brewing to make clones of the ones my girlfriend likes, and make whatever I want in the mean time).

Same front on the girlfriend. I am actually supposed to be clean shaven for work, so I shave every once in a while or when fit testing comes about. At those times she gets sad and makes me wait until the last minute.

 

[Larzean]

"It tastes like beer" by my girlfriend to every beer I have made.. Guess its a compliment, sort of!

 

[Varmintman]

Lets get back to the double d *******. I guess my beer sucks because I have never heard that .....yet. But hope springs eternal

 

[gwapogorilla]

Them..."So you make beer, kewl. So, can you make Bud?"

Me..."Yeah. But why and the hell would I want to?"

I shouldn't say this in here...but my wife took after her mother. We're def talkin tripleD here. And no,I don't mean Guy Fiery...:rockin:

 

[ron,ar]

Damn yuppies! Lol

only thing worse than keg police is spelling police

 

[scottyg354]

Never claimed to be a sophisticate...

 

[meltroha]

Is that legal? Or, you should sell this

 

[CityOChampBrew]

got this one tonight after giving away a few to a buddy and telling someone else that I made it "What kind is it, is it that stuff they advertise on tv?"

 

[Johnnyhamer]

Agreed, I need that recipe.

My wife says that every time, is not a compliment! But she has poor taste she married me. Wow that's cheesy, sorry.

 

[ArkotRamathorn]

This happened to me today at work, I don't mean to talk trash about my supervisor because he's cool and doesn't ask me about what I do all day. But today this exchange happened.

Bossman: "Any big plans this weekend?"
Me: "I'm going to bottle my first home brew"
Bossman:"So you like them dark beers, like guiness? Do you like guiness?"
Me: "I've been known enjoy a guiness from time to time"
Bossman "Man, that stuff is thick, it pours like oil"
I hesitated for a second cause I realized I'm have the exact same conversation I've had with other BMC drinkers, thinking the Matrix had reset, I powered through.
Me: "Oh yeah it can be described as a little chewy, I'm more of a porter and imperial stout fan, IPAs are about the only thing I'm not a giant fan of"
Cue bossmans eyes glazing over.
Me: "I'll be going to the Lazy Monk Tap Room tonight though, they have some tasty beer for cheap, maybe make my way over to The Firehouse to try some crazy stuff. I'll leave a couple bottles of my homebrew on your desk monday man"
Bossman "Free beer dude!"

"Can I pay you to make me some?"

To which I always reply, no but I can show you how to make your own.
