My Dad!

[Revvy]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Those of us that have lost our dads kinda feel robbed to not be able to show off this hobby to them.

Not to beat a dead horse, but....
Tonight I am scrubbing the boy down in the bath tub and the little $hit open fired on me, piss every where. There have been close calls but this is the first time he sunk my battle ship.
Then I got to thinking, one morning I woke up EARLY to find him and his bead covered in puke, screaming the whole time I cleaned him and the bed up. The next morning he woke up screaming at the butt crack of dawn again. Stumble my way to his room thinking, "oh please tell me you didn't puke again....." Nope... Diaper was MIA and there was crap on and in EVERYTHING. Puke didn't seem so bad any more...

If only dad still drank, I have the compulsion drop a few kegs off on his door step right now.

Take it easy on the guy

My Swmbo's brother in law is over at the house all the time when I'm not there. He knows that the kegerator is open at all times. I never mind when he hits it up. I have a hard time drinking 80 pints before I'm ready to put a new keg in there.

The man needed a beer, what the problem?

Hahaha tru.dat

 

[luvmy40]

Did he Know it wasn't ready or that you hadn't popped the cherry yet?
I agree in principle, the brewer's first but if my dad could drink a beer I had made I'd gladly let him have the first. Green or not.(He's diabetic and hasn't had a beer in 20 years.)

BTW I always ask before mounting another man's wife...I ask "When will your husband will be home?"!

 

[danorocks17]

beat me to it..



I can't believe he drank one of my beers when I wasn't home, All he ever did was let me live with him when I was in a bind.!! This was ONE beer out of a measly 50!

I think it's cool your dad likes your homebrew

To the OP: duck and cover
To everyone else: you sound like a pack of Jewish mothers
To me: shaddap, you

 

[bernerbrau]

You're lucky. I was a couple hundred posts in when I got hazed.

Maybe if you're a good sport they'll buy you a membership.

You should talk, you never write, you never call. What you need is a nice Jewish girl, she'll set you straight. In fact muriel, who does my hair, her daughter is a doctor don't you know. And still single. Of course she's a little on the zaftig side, but she's rich.

You don't mount a man's Harley without asking, you don't mount a man's woman without asking, and you don't de-virginize green beer without asking.

All true, but the #1 trump rule that actually applies in this situation is that you don't talk **** or give **** to someone that's bailing your butt out, no matter what the circumstances are.

Instead of being all huffed up that your Father, who took you in when you needed help, "de-virginized" your batch of beer, you should try being a bit proud that your Father likes your beer.

. . . .
Me: I just bottled it two days ago
Him: It tasted pretty good
Me: It couldn't have tasted good, it isn't done yet! I can't believe you would crack open one of my beers without me
Him: Well I needed a beer, it tasted like those Sierra Nevada's you bring home.
Me: There's a few things in life you just don't do. One of them is try another man's freshly bottled beer without the brewer himself. Especially since it's a beer that I haven't brewed before! . . . .

So now, how you gonna feel when your beer IS ready and he goes to town and gets a case of different beer so he doesn't mess with your schedule. Just saying I don't know you or your dad but we dads like to please our sons no matter how unpleasing THEY are, usually.

I also wish my dad was around to enjoy a home brew with me, luckily I brew with my boys and it has brought us closer together than anything else.

Relax and brew on!

He's more than entitled to that beer. He probably doesn't understand what the big deal is. And like a dozen other people have commented on you're very lucky to have a father who will/can try your beer and enjoy it on top of that. Someday you'll be wishing you could give him another beer to try and give you an honest opinion on.

Get involved with him. Decide together what should be the next type of beer you brew. Brew a batch together. Sounds like a great bonding experience.

 

[WenValley]

You're a lucky man! My Dad passed away two years ago, I'd give almost anything to spend a day with him drinking home brew.

nuff said.

I will say that just because you live with him doesn't make him entitled to any of your stuff. HOWEVER. If you're brewing and you don't want to share it with other people, you're kind of missing the point. So he tasted a green beer and liked it. I taste green beer all the time; it helps me get accustomed to the process as beer ages and conditions. Think of it as your dad got an opportunity to learn about how beer improves over time.

My mother died when I was 12 yrs old, so I guess in the grand scheme of things I should look at the big picture and be thankful he is still around to rob one of my green beers. If you notice in my opening statement, I said he changed the subject and I didn't mind because it wasn't something to stay upset about.

My main reason for starting this thread is was to point out that it can be really frustrating dealing with someone who doesn't understand what goes into this and the time frames we're dealing with. I'm very thankful for his help, and his wife's help. I don't mind sharing with him at all, in fact, the first two batches I did I drove 6 hrs to go see him while he was working out of town just so he coud try some and we could go look at some steam locomotives together.

It seems my post came off the wrong way, and I have been cyber bitch slapped back to my proper place. Cheers to all of you that are so defensive about parents, and to those that wish their pop's were still around to rob a green one.

I applaud you for handling this ribbing quite nicely!

Glad to see yah come around

 

[Token]

He'd better come around! Geez, "de-virginizing a batch" of beer??! WTH??

And, really, his dad paid him quite a compliment by saying, "Tastes like those Sierra Nevada's you bring home." Isn't that what he was shooting for??

I don't share well, but this was even beyond me. I'd be totally stoked if someone tried my beer and told me it tasted just what I was aiming for.

Oy gevalt, the last thing I need right now is read a bunch of kvetching.

Wouldn't it have been worse if he would have said "It was really flat so I took a sip and then tossed it?"
