"Oh, it's dark." (Stout)
...Gee thanks Captain Obvious.
funny, I've gotten the same comment in reverse before. IPA tasted "like a dark beer."

Friend two: "taste like Coors light." ( my first Oktoberfest that, while wasn't great, definitely has more flavor than Coors.)
I need new friends : /.

Just then the waitress comes over and the girl asks to try the "heelies", (waitress gives confused look), "hellys?"... (looks to me) "what's it called?" (I look at the chalkboard and see "Highway to Helles" Maibock listed) "She'll have the Helles".
This girl is dumb as a box of hammers and never stops talking. At least she likes beer.

So this dude, who doesn't look a day over 21, orders an Icky IPA, the flagship beer of a local brewery that is actually quite awesome.
Dude: "I ordered this because your selection isn't great" (They have Stella, Modelo, Old Rasputin, Angel Creek Amber (stellar local beer that is the epitome of American Ambers), as well as a variety of excellent beers in bottles)
SWMBO recommends Angel Creek Amber as it's sweeter on the malty side but has a nice hop punch.
Dude: "Ambers are for novices." (When she told me that I lost my s**t)
SWMBO convinces him to get the Angel Creek anyway and he (begrudgingly) loves it.
He then proceeds to order a Raspberry Vodka martini with a chambord float, possibly the girliest drink the restaurant makes.
Oh wanna-be beer snobs... you are amazing.

"This is really heavy, and alcoholic." - Sorority girl about my 3.8% super dry Irish stout. I guess the theme is that BMC drinkers equate dark with those traits regardless.
Utah made those kits illegal. The state figures that the product is marketed to underage drinkers.
Wife: You look at it lovingly and adoringly and longingly. I wish you'd look at me that way.
Me: If you had a bubbling airlock I would.

The placebo beer! The mind is powerful!
This wasn't a comment on my beer, but it was stupid by someone who should know better, so I thought it kinda applies.
I went to a large beer store recently looking for some Jolly Pumpkin. I browsed for a while, because in my little town there is no selection. The clerk, who seemed nice enough, asked me if I needed help picking something out (I'm sure lots of people do, large selection can be intimidating if you don't know what you are doing). I said no thanks, I'm fine. I picked out a couple of sixers of stuff I can't get at home, but couldn't find the JP, which I knew they carry. I found the clerk and asked him if they had any JP, at which point he laughed at me and told me they only carry that stuff in the Fall. I tried to explain that JP was a brewery and not a pumpkin beer. That didn't change his answer. This went on for a minute, but seeing that he was getting agitated i dropped it. Well, maybe they stopped carrying it, I thought. I went to check out and the cashier asked me if I found everything. "No, actually. Do you guys still carry Jolly Pumpkin? Its a brewery, not a pumpkin beer". She looked it up and found plenty in stock. The clerk made his way over by now, and she asked him if he knew where it was. The clerk looked at me, "Ugh, I *told* you we don't carry that except in the Fall!" At this point the manager came over and asked the clerk what the problem was. He told the manager the story, at which point the manager started laughing at him. The manager turned to me and said "I'll show you where it is, we have plenty". Maybe the guy was having a bad day, maybe it was his first day. Either way, more than a little rude to get snippy when you don't understand what is being asked. Ah well, the JP tasted great anyway!
I gave my cupcake Uncle one of the experimental beers we made recently
