The stupidest comment on your beer

[dfc]

Excuse me? And you would happen to be....?

Fizzycist.

 

[Waterboy42]

Hey, my SWMBO loves BMC crap. Just made a blonde ale slightly hoppier, and slightly sweeter than Miller to get her in

Fizzycist.

Yeah, for once I decided not to go with the smart@$$ answer.

I'm sorry if everything isn't exactly as you would like it. There was no arguing taking place, at most there was a disagreement. This thread goes dormant for weeks and months at a time, so if it is that important to you maybe go to the bar and strike up conversations with people about brewing and report back.

My boss tried to talk to me about the Guinness black lager a couple weeks ago, and he said that it tasted "Burnt, because they used those black hops in it". I wasn't in the mood to disagree.

Ah wow gotta love the general populace....

Were can I get these legendary black hops.

I thought Black Hops was a video game.

Ha, I thought it but didn't post it

Ba-dum tsss

I guess for me was the RIS I made a few years ago, aged and then gave out as Christmas presents. I sent it to a competition and got several good remarks--though I can't remember the score. Everyone who drank it raved about how good it was--except one coworker. He drank half a glass and then threw it back up. I guess if that isn't a stupid statement about your beer, nothing is.

It isn't?

I recently gave a barrel aged golden sour to a local bar owner who was supposed to be a bit of a sour head. This particular beer is quite sour, on par with a geuze, but without as much complexity. Anyway, the sole comment I got out of this guy was that he thought it could be more sour, and it was too acidic... um... WOT?

Hmm, I really like this burger with Point Reyes bleu cheese. It could use some more funk but it smells too much.

This beer is too hot....


.......could use more alcohol content....

From my mormon friend. "This tastes like alcohol and dirt"

Ha ha ha wonderful huh

How would a Mormon know what alcohol tastes like, and why would anyone care what they think about beer?

Having spent way too much time stuck in the Bonneville Salt Flats area for work, I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

On that note, the coworkers I spent all of February with working there are Coors Light drinkers.... and ONLY Coors Light. They were complaining about the lower alcohol content, which is "not to exceed 3.2% by weight." I kept telling them that 3.2% by weight converts to 4% by volume, so they're only missing out on 0.5% abv from their normal beer but they kept complaining.... all while I was drinking a 4% abv "Session IPA" and missing out on 3% abv

It was especially funny to watch them get almost blackout drunk and be cripplingly hungover the next day because they think it's so weak that each one of them drinks between 18 and 24 cans.

Some mormons sin sometimes, I thought it was a stupid comment that others may find funny like I did

I know. I wasn't ripping on you in any way. I just thought it was weird that a Mormon commented on a beer, expecting anyone to care what they thought about it.

In related news: my Jewish friend criticized my bacon wrapped shrimp scampi the other day.

What style?

 

[Swarley88]

SWMBO tries and I love her for that but I get a lot of "mm that's good."
Me- "what do you like the most about it?'
Her - "I don't know, its just good"
Me in my mind- "ok... well at least she thinks its good"

 

[blueseamonkey]

Sister-in-law trying some of my first batch - "It's just like real beer, except for that bitter taste"

 

[Schol-R-LEA]

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I've had someone pass on a Saison (approx. 6 SRM) on the basis that it was 'too dark'.

There was a Vietnam vet who use to do the same thing at a place here in Madison called The Buckeye. It's since closed but that guy was like clockwork; he would come in, say hello to everyone and everyone would hello back (NORM!), order his Miller Lite with a glass of ice, sip, OK SEE YOU EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

I asked him about it once and he said it's from when he was overseas and got really tired of drinking warm beer.

Dragging this comment back up from a few months ago - he may well have spent some time in the Philippines. Here lots of people don't have refrigeration so the beers they buy may not be cold by the time they drink them... we're not talking cellar temps either, it can be body temperature

The trick is to pop to the store a few doors away where people make a business out of selling ice. Break it into chunks and pop some in your glass.

Its not something I'll ever do with my homebrew, but at least one of the local beers (Red Horse - a strong, fizzy yellow lagerish concoction brewed with the leftovers after San Miguel make their other beers) is actually improved - and made just about tolerable - by a big lump of ice. I won't drink it any other way

What style?

A dunkel. 5.5 percent

From the same mormon friend when he learned I make beer. " mmm is it as delicious as a pabst?" ( he pronounced it pobst

 

[malweth]

Almost about beer. . .
My wife worked yesterday, so I made the corned beef & cabbage. Of course I made it the right way so I get something like "it doesn't taste as good." What does my son (7) do but pipe in and say "Dad put a beer in it." Which leads to the whole "no wonder" etc., etc.

I didn't do anything stupid with the beer addition either . . . it was a bit less than a pint of a special bitter I brewed, watered down with a couple quarts of water. If anything it was probably the bay leaves and peppercorns boiling in there that made it taste so different.

There is no dirt taste to a dunkel... I was wondering if they were picking up dirt from a bier de garde or saisson.
