So I got this friend ...

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

Man I have a friend that sometimes brews with me. He knows a bit a about brewing but he knows hes the assistant. But I wouldn't get mad if he called it our beer, which he doesn't. Thats because I put him to work when hes around. You better believe hes washing, rinsing and sanitizing if hes around!
But I do give him a solid cock punch every once and awhile to keep him in line.

Fill a kitty pool with BMC and drown him in it!!!

Alright, I have this friend ...

No you don't. The person you described is not your friend, he's a leech. Drop the dead weight.

The main thing that pisses me off about this guy is that he tries to take credit for MY beer. He tells all his friends and coworkers that he brews. It gets me almost fighting mad everytime I start talking about it.

I keep reading and re-reading this, just because your "friend" has got me so irritated. And the passage above is one of the worst parts, in my opinion, of what's going on. What kind of a douchenozzle takes credit for their friend's beer that they didn't even help to brew? I mean, if he had ground the grain for you, watched/asked questions during mash and sparge, maybe even helped coil up the garden hoses / pitch the yeast, then sure, we're talking about some borderline territory. But like you said, he's just keeping company. And he's not even pitching in $$ to the tip jar.

I say his ass goes to the curb, or at LEAST, install a lock on the beer fridge. This "direct approach" worked well for me in the past.

On an unrelated note, ChefChris, when you gonna ship me some of OUR beer? I mean, we have the same name, so CLEARLY that beer belongs to both of us! C'mon, I want my share of it!

 

[Special Hops]

Tell him to buy ingredients and then to come over and you would help him brew brew. Then when it's done you drink half of his beer.

I don't think douchenozzle is a Strong enough word to describe this guy's douchyness, I propose to call him a Douchehydrant or possibly a Douchepile

oh, and +1 on not telling him when next brew day is, and hiding your good beer.

I was hoping to see some resolution to this in the 4 pages of posts. You didn't wuss out and let him take YOUR beer to his friends did you?

I had a friend that would come over and drink all of my beer, expensive or not. Actually, it is one of my wife's friends. I put a chain and lock on the beer fridge doors in the garage. He asked: "are you trying to tell me something?" I said, "Yes, buy your own beer. This is mine." He hasn't asked for a beer since. Be direct, this dickwad needs to know he doesn't brew and he doesn't have rights to what's not his.

+1 !

Did he fall into a black hole?

Or perhaps contract syphilis of the beer?

Or did his douchenozzle spontaneously combust?

(I'm feeling nonsensical today, and am oh so happy to start working on the 1st beer of the eve after a rotten day at work. Sorry.)

I'm going to make a bet that chefchris does not like confrontation. Let's all take a moment of silence and focus our collective energy on giving him the strength to do what he has to do.






Then hope his girlfriend takes pictures of the mayhem.

And if he challenges you.... And keeps saying it's OUR beer... (F* that.)


You can tell him THIS:

Then, give him the ol' cockpunch special.

 

[chefchris]

Some of these post crack me up. He has yet to steal any of our beer. I do not inform him of brew days. He knows I brew every weekend, so I brew on the day he has to work (Sundays).

The only beer he has ever brought me was a Newcastle. But, if I remember correctly, I don't think he even bought them.

I would not consider myself to be non-confrontational. Definately not one to keep my mouth shut.

He did try a beer from my first batch. He poured the whole bottle though I was standing there telling him not to and why. Then he takes a sip. Gives a weird/discontent look. Takes another and says it taste "yeasty".

"I wonder if that had anything to do with the yeast that you just poured in your glass?"

He says, "Well, it taste like homebrew." WTF?! He's never had homebrew before. He said, "Well, it's not bad for a first batch."

**** YOU, JOEY. **** YOU.


Thanks for all the input and letting me vent.
