The stupidest comment on your beer

[paulster2626]

Ahhh with a capital B I see it now. It is a shame I will never obtain that at this rate because currently I don't like American light lagers, the same way some people don't like IPAs I guess. I do thank you though kind sir for wishing me luck, but as I don't enjoy them, I won't be brewing one any time soon. Maybe if my palate changes in a few years I will get into them though, who knows, so thanks for the wish of luck.

Anyway back on topic since we dropped that whole thing already...

My brother during a mash," it doesn't really smell like beer"

No worries I hate them too, but friends like it so I make it. All part of being a Brewer, I suppose. Best of luck.

If you get this reply again mention that it is made with peyote hops that can only be grown on reservations due to US patent laws. (Sorry for the mispelling).

I like this one

 

[BudzAndSudz]

I'd rather drink cooled wort than anything. It's delicious!!!!

More than actual beer?

 

[Bamsdealer]

My fresh hopped cascade ipa. "What, is this supposed to be like grapefruit juice or something?" Me "yeah... thats exactly what I was aiming for". Him "im not a fan of grapefriut juice. Too bitter"

Hey, at least he got some grapefruit notes and bitterness from the loads of fresh cascade. Got to give him a little credit.

Ah yes, I've gotten the moonshine comments from people after seeing my (old) copper coil IC. Although, it did look a bit more suspicious than it really was...

I was arrested at college for this very thing. I lived on campus-assisted housing, and while i was out, the fire marshall came by to inspect my place. He reported to the police chief that I had stillage equipment. When I arrived home, I had seven policemen in my home and the chief of police was in my doorway (very small town). He greeted me with: "How long you been stilling in here?"

It took me 40 minutes with the help of an ABC agent and a northern brewer catalogue that my wife (then girlfriend) was nice enough to bring to the station to convince the chief to let me go and drop the charges.

Some people are just stupid. I mean really, my keggle and ic look nothing like a still, it has a freaking hose adaptor on it.

Wow. That is some monumental ignorance! Glad you got out of that one OK.

 

[metanoia]

Wow that is gross like adding water to Scotch.

I'm slowly working my way through the beginnings of this thread from 5 years ago, but this quote right here goes to show the hypocrisy in a lot of these remarks about others being "uneducated" about beer.

Right here his Chris_Dog guy shows that he knows nothing about scotch, yet acts like he does. Maybe he just drinks Lauder's or something just as crappy, but it's very common for quality scotch drinkers to cut their scotch with water, which helps bring out the aromatics of the whiskey, along with a few other benefits.

 

[jasonsbeer]

I cut my whiskey with Coca-Cola.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I farted

 

[Tiber_Brew]

I farted

That was you?!

Greasy.

 

[bottlebomber]

I farted

It sounded kind of hearty. You may want to check your undies on that one.

Always do sober what you do drunk

I can't wait to learn what else you find as you work your way through the thread. Please keep us updated.

If it's at least decent scotch, not so much as an ice cube will touch mine.
To each their own though.

I stand by my words from before... getting into an actual argument over beer (other than "hey give me my beer back!") is stupid.

I know you are. but what am I?


"I think I'm already drunk. This stuff is strong." after 2 sips of a 4.5% bitter. stronger than BL flavor doesn't mean higher alcohol, people!

 

[Sevenal]

Wow !
I was having fun here.
Who let the bummer in?
Not a criticizing kind of thread so I won't espouse further.
I don't usually chuckle at FART jokes but ever one was appropriate?
And yes , thought the peyote comment was a little politically incorrect.
It was funny!
Let's get back to funny responses from those whom don't get it.
That was me a year or so ago, lots of fun here since.
Have fun be merry and responsible.

My dad being a craft beer drinker is always eager to try my homebrew. Whenever I get the chance I bring him a sixer to leave I'm the fridge. Last time I was there I decided I was getting a beer and asked if he wanted one. He did so I brought it and a glass, opened and started to pour and he stopped me saying "no thanks it comes in a glass" I tried to warn him but who knows, maybe be likes the gas to gross my mom out

I don't think your dad is much of a craft drinker if he doesn't like beer from the glass

 

[Whattawort]

Not related to someone drinking my beer but I swear SWMBO almost feinted when I told her I was going to brew an IPA. First thing out of her mouth was "better keep that s*** out in the garage". She's not a fan of the big boy hops. I usually only brew traditional UK and European ales.

As i was brewing outside one day, a neighbor walks up and introduces themselves,

Neighbor: " hey so whatcha making?"
Me: just brewing a little beer
Neighbor: " oh yeah? This is a crazy looking setup you've got here"
(i brew AG but i was flushing out all my hoses and plate chiller)
Me: yeah it looks a lot more complicated than it is, its actually a prety simply setup
Neighbor; " yeah, i mean it looks like you could be making meth and stuff with all these hoses and pots"
Me: ha ha, yeah i get that a lot, looks like it could be sometig illegal, but its just for beer ha ha
Neighbor: " yeah well you know, i mean, if it was meth, i wouldnt mind at all"

::::awkward silence ::::

At that point i just made it out i was super busy and couldnt talk much, didnt feel like going down that road

Haha, wow.

My cousin has been after me for months to bring him some homebrew. I finally gave him an American Wheat that he downed in no more than 2 mins, out of the bottle nonetheless, then he belched loudly and told me how good it was. How would he know? He just chugged the damn thing! Total waste of my carefully crafted homebrew.

"Yum, this doesn't taste like homebrew."

To the uninitiated this is how beer is downed ha ha. Have him out to your place some time and serve him. Pour the glass for him, even if he slams it, savor yours. Pour him another.. repeat this exercise several times. If he still doesn't get it? Well... sorry, you can choose your friends, can't choose your relatives

brew up an American BW and have him beer bong it.

Yes!! This may be another way to slow him down!

 

[Quadrupled]

Not stupid, but a funny/proud moment for me while listening to my oldest daughter defending me.

Me: I really like how this wit turned out. It's really good.

My wife (who only likes Lindemans) tries a sip: yuch! (And then actually dry heaves.)

My 3 year old daughter: Don't choke mommy! It's really good.

SWMBO's friend's mother was very complimentary of my beer, but had lots of questions about brewing. My favorite was, "Have you heard of international bitterness units?"

Was your reply "nah, I generally use IBUs."
