Things that Beer Geeks say

I need to build my Untappd Score!

 

LOL! The chain went downhill. It was one of my favorite restaurants- Joe's American Bar and grill. The food is not the same quality as in the past. No, it wasn't the beer....

 

A beer geek fantasy dialog with a beer store employee- " would you possibly have a magnifying glass, it's a bit difficult for me read the bottle dates on a few of the bottles".

I'm actually thinking of bringing a magnifying glass on my next run to the beer store- I spend of a lot of time
holding bottles up to the light to see the damn bottle date. Apparently, I'm not the only one- I saw another customer in a beer store doing the same thing.

 

"Horseblanket-y, with notes of onions, cat piss and bubblegum" - ISO ISO !!

 

...said no one ever.

 

You GOTTA smell this!

 

First I've seen it... but some funny (and some self-reflective) stuff in the video, wherever it was originally posted. "no, it's a 'white stout'" almost had me falling out of chair.

 

Heard every single time someone taps a rare keg. Geek: What time you tapping it? Bartender: 15 minutes, what else would you like? Geek: Just water, I don't want to ruin my palate.

 

Here's a new one: "F*** Larry Bell"

 

They use the same strain of yeast for ALL their beers!

 

Wow. It's only 8%

 

Beer Geek: "Do you ever drive to Chicago from the East?"
Friend: "Definitely, why?"
Beer Geek: "I need you to stop in a town called Munster and pick a few things up for me."
Friend: "Where is Munster?"

 

Now I remember why I like to drink alone.

 

Nah... this is the time that you pull out something incredibly rare to quote to her.
"Yeah, I was wondering if you had the Pappy Van Winkle aged Dark Lord in yet."
Oh course they don't, so you can leave without feeling weird.

 

"Have you heard of Beer Advocate?"

 

"Keep that beer away from too much light!"

"I buy 2-3 bottles of beer from the store, save them, and then go to another store the next day and pick up a couple more. I buy more than I consume. It's the hunt that makes this fun!"

 

I do the same!

 

My cellar is exploding.

 

Unfortunately I've said this one a few times. "I dont drink anything with a beer advocate score of less than 90."

I know, I'm a snob...

 

Snobs are people that don't know enough to appreciate style points of all beers. You should really try to avoid your current actions, because it just shows your lack of comprehension.
Example- Bitburger Pilsener is probably the best Pils out there and is rated a 79. You'd be hard pressed to find an example for the style that is so enjoyable and toasty. You don't know that, though, because you're too busy being an elitist douche.
