I just call that stingy. It's usually a compliment when people ask for another one. Just sayin'
my sarcasm runs super deep, yo. it's like Dr. Venkman's dirty laundry: there are many subtle levels. just sayin'
Thats cuz Billy don't drink well wit others(maybe udders):p

I drink well with others until they try to drink my beer, talk near me, or look in any general direction.:rockin:

Handed a Texan a Two-Hearted clone:

Tex: "Eh... it's good, but I wish it had more... flavor."
Me: "Such as...?"
Tex: "Shiner Bock."
Me: *blank stare*


Wife had a going-away with like 8 people over from work. Freshly 21 y/o lightweight girl grabs a glass, pulls a full pint of Skeeter Pee off the tap. Takes a first sip, mouth puckers, eyes squint... proclaims "wow, is this 80 proof?" Finishes the rest of the pint in under 5 minutes. :rolleyes: Had to watch her like a hawk the rest of the night to keep the drunk boys at bay and guard the sanctity of my guest bedroom.

Hey now, Texas is far from the only state with ignorant beer "aficionados". That's a nationwide problem.

Pointing out Texans wasn't my purpose.

The reason it was funny to be is because Two-Hearted tastes like you just brushed your teeth with a pound of hops, then gargled with a shot of vodka and a handful of fresh flowers. It's one of the furthest beers from "tasteless" that I can imagine.

Ruination is pretty high up there, though.
 
Well my first exposure to homebrew were my parents' failed attempts at making beer when I was a kid, looking back they made so many mistakes, open fermentation, stirring the wort during the fermentation process, bottling by basically pouring the beer into the bottle with a funnel. It's no wonder their homebrew tasted like crap.

So when my brother in law got into brewing and brought a 6 pack of various beers over for me to try I was a bit worried, so when he popped open that first nut brown ale and poured me a glass, I think my first response was along the lines of "hey this tastes pretty good" meaning "hey this tastes like beer is supposed to".

Now, several years later, I can say that some of the best beer I've had has been homebrewed beer. Heck the tripel I'm drinking right now is hands down one of the best beers I've ever had.

You think thats bad.. a older realative of mine talks about homebrew he was offered like over 20 yrs ago or more, that when he poured it his glass was half full of yeast. :confused: I think he just made it and poured it straight form a carboy or something probably without carbing or bottleing it. And he did say it tasted terrible. He probably just fermented it a few days then ladeled it from out of a shoe or something.

I want to hear more about the lightweight.

Had never heard of Skeeter Pee, so I googled it. Came up with this little gem:
1. I don’t call this “hard lemonade” because too many people have tried the commercial versions and they tend to make a mental impression of what it’s going to taste like before trying it. When it doesn’t taste just like the commercial versions (which are usually 5% alcohol, lemon flavored malt beverages) they conclude that it’s a poor reproduction.

This stuff isn’t a reproduction; it’s the original home-style without the big marketing budget and price tag. Please be advised that you need to keep an eye on those you serve this to. Because it drinks easily on a hot day and the alcohol is about double that of commercial hard lemonades and beer, it is easy to accidentally over consume; it sneaks up on you real fast.

Sort of reminds me of a drink my older brother used to serve in his back yard, while BBQ'ing or just hanging out. He used a blender to combine orange juice, vanilla ice cream and vodka. It tasted like an innocent orange milkshake, and went down smoothly on a hot summer day.

The first time I drank a couple, I had no idea at all I was wasted until I tried to get up out of my lawn chair....
 
I was at the office Christmas party and a good buddy from the south was able to score some authentic backwoods Tennessee moonshine. Needless to say I'm still pretty ****ed up.
 
Reminds me of a drink I used to get after a long hard week at work. It was at the old Tahiti in Westlake called a suffering bastard. Potent stuff for a polonesian drink.
 
I just get tired of being considered a beer snob because i want to enjoy a good beer. Is it wrong to ask for a tap list cuz the waitress 9 times out of 10 doenst even know what the bar is serving at a restaurant? Is it wrong to want at least one decent beer at a massive company party? All that was there was BMC and Heineken. Heineken tastes like a dead skunks rotten butthole. SWMBO just calls me a beer snob and says not everyone likes the kind of beer i do. True, but not everyone enjoys BMC either. I guarantee if they put something out there, a large portion of the group will drink it. Hell, ill even take SA boston lager. Rise up against the BMC oppression!
 
Granted i wont be jerk and turn down a coors light or something from a family member if they offer it. They are the bmc crowd and dont like like my kind of stuff. Thats ok. When in rome, eh?

The place i was at was a company xmas party at navy pier in chicago. I think it was like an all inclusive catered bar package. You know, "For this price we offer these liquors and beers" but its chicago! Goose island, two brothers, three floyds, five rabbit, revolution, anything! The list goes on. Anyway, sorry for getting off topic.

SWMBO said my honey porter tasted like dirty pond water. You cut me deep, babe. Next time ill use dirty pond water and give her an excuse to say it.

Maybe she was actually paying it a compliment.

Like how many people here refer to a beer they like, positively, with descriptions like "cat urine" and "sweaty horse balls".

You never know! ;)

Not off topic at all. Remember, Goose Island is ABI now too. They at least serve 312 at most ABI events these days.
