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

[Billy-Klubb]

But then theirs will be awful and they will think that mine must be awful too...

nein! they already know it's good, that's why they want a growler fill. seriously, I'd have no problem filling a growler from time to time. but if it became a habit, I'd offer to teach them to brew their own. if they don't want to learn, then they can go piss up a rope.

Hipsters can't brew. They look for a pre-fabricated trend to follow.

Ya know, in some ways we think alike. I wanna party with you, cowboy...

This is my part!....

I got that a lot moving from Wyoming to Washington in an 84 F150.

Yes sir, my big exhaust spewing truck is electric. I just added sound effects and a smoke screen to hide it...

You must've moved to the west side, because engine block heaters are a pretty common sight over here on the east side.

 

[wrm]

OK, I'll admit it. I work for one of the three BMC's, inspecting bottles at a glass plant. I'm not ashamed of this, and I get 3 free cases a month!

I am on record for saying that my #1 preference in beer is free beer.

That was a long time ago however I find that I just can't drink SAB (our version of Budmilloors). Except for Castle Milk Stout, that's not bad.

Spent a night at a party drinking Clausthaler because that was the only alternative to SAB. After the third one the barman gave me the rest for free because nobody else had been buying it for as long as he could remember.

Kind of funny that the non-alcoholic was better than the real beer. It is a pretty decent one, though.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Why not just charge 'em?

Just charge them a bottle cleaning fee if they return bottles with science experiements in them.

 

[Opiate42]

I will never understand why. People are brainwashed to think that every beer should taste like a light adjunct lager. And if it doesn't, there is something wrong with their brewing process.

A good friend with a quirky sense of humor and not much experience with beer when we were younger used to say that beer is supposed to taste like "horse piss in a rusty bucket". I corrected him on that

The only real annoying thing I hear is "awesome but isn't that so much work?"

C'est la vie

Got to wonder if people ever actually think about what they're saying before they saying it.

Stopped at 2:20 myself.... annoying. I don't want to know who this guy is. Ignorance is indeed bliss in this case.

Yep, it is time consuming. A lot of what we do these days for entertainment had to be done by our ancestors or they did without.

I think the video dufus is very full of bliss.

I get called a hipster for wearing a fedora, something I have done since long before there where hipsters. Besides can you really be a hipster and over 50?

Oh, so you were wearing a fedora before wearing a fedora was cool?

Classic hipster.

I got called a hipster once for having a beard. They didn't realize my beard is older than most hipsters

Time will tell when the trendy kids jump off the bandwagon after a while leaving it back in the hands of those who actually care about brewing.

hahaha- walked into that.

My grandfather always wore a fedora when going to town. Wore a cowboy hat when working on the farm. So when I hit my early thirties it just seemed like the right thing to do. The good thing about the hipsters is it has made finding a fedora easier than in the past. Stetson is making a few more runs of them.

My grandfather wore a walking hat for my entire childhood; I always called it his Inspector Gadget hat. To my surprise, he passed it on to me a few years ago. I just wish I could pull it off like he did.

I don't find too many annoying responses when mentioning that I homebrew, more of a general interest. Nothing like when I was big into keeping tropical fish...you mention that you have a fishtank (never mind that what I had in fish, coral and equipment was worth probably twice the value of my car) and suddenly EVERYONE'S an expert.

I just find it hilarious that Billy obviously subscribes to this guy

 

[worlddivides]

For the first time ever, someone gave me the "But that's illegal" line. Wasn't annoying at all. I just replied "You're confusing brewing with distillation. Making beer is legal. Making something like vodka, rum, or whiskey without a license is illegal." Bam, that ended it right there. "Oh, I didn't know that. Why is making whiskey illegal?" Further explanation.

A long time ago (before me or my friend were of legal drinking age), my friend said that "no one drinks beer for the taste," inferring that the only reason to drink beer was to get drunk because he thought beer tasted disgusting. Considering that the only beers he had access to at the time were Coors and Bud Lite and had only drunk with highschoolers and college students, I could see where he came to that conclusion.

I didn't find it "annoying," just kind of funny. Especially since that friend became a huge fan of beer after he became legally able to drink and now (13-14 years since that quote) he drinks quite a few craft beers and is always on the lookout for new kinds of beers to try.

Ditto, I think we all go through that phase

It was Canadian and Old Milwakee for me

What are you proud to see the name on? Not being a d***, just haven't seen much in the way of craft beer from up north.

naw, but I do keep tabs for more of my video ideas. hahahaa!!

"Sweet, can we drink some tomorrow night?"

It's a growing industry, Propeller, and Garrison are notable just in my city, and even since Unibroue in Quebec has been bought by Sleeman, thankfully, they're still producing the same stellar Belgian style ales as they always were.

 

[QuercusMax]

Unibroue makes some delicious Belgian styles.
