Most embarassing beer situation

Ordered a bottle of left hand milk stout at a bar. Thought it was nitro but it was not (had a couple already wasn't really paying attention). Went for the hard pour to impress a couple non craft drinkers. Was left with a pool of wasted beer on the table and some good ribbing from my friends.

 

Last week, I was at a small share at a restaurant here in Austin and we didn't have a bottle opener that wouldn't bend caps (I collect caps). So I proceeded to open my bottle of assassin with a bic lighter and it slipped and a 3rd of the bottle ended up all over me and the table and @mgr78704 phone.

Worst part, fkn plain cap on the Assassin. At least the BA Abraxas cap was worth keeping.

 

If we've never had an embarrassing beer situation, what does that mean? That we've not lived long enough? Not gone to the right bars? Don't have the right friends? Don't drink the right beer?

 

In the Delerium Cafe last year. I stood up from my stool at the bar and held a glass of beer up to the light to check the color and then smelt it for the aroma. As I was about to taste it I realised other people were staring at me.

Pretty embarrassing but not as embarrassing as my wife right now leaning over my shoulder and reading this post and saying:

"I put my beer up to the light and it was an amber color (she picks up the beer I'm drinking now and holds it up to the light to mimick/mock me) with 45 bubbles in it. It was then that I knew that this was my beer. So I got smashed."

Damn it the first time she ever read something I wrote on here and hopefully the last.

 

I'm sure there have been many that I don't remember.

 

I time I drank too much and put my girlfriend's underwear and make up on....oh wait I was sober when I did that then had a beer afterwords

 

Mixing 4 Golden Monkeys, 4 Bud Ices and blunt in my friend's basement. I don't remember how I got home or that I puked on his chess set and table. Good times.

 

I'm sitting here thinking back when I was a teenager and me and my friend buying a case of Molson Golden and then driving to the park and meeting a couple girls we knew and about 3 beers into the case the Park Rangers show up!
So of course being 18 they confiscate the beer, put us in the back of their car (it was only the second time in the back of a "police" vehicle - and last!) and let the girls go home since we told them that the girls weren't drinking. Had to call my Aunt to come pick us up and take us home.
Lost my license for 6 months and lost all kinds of hope of any chance with the girl I was with.
Was in deeeeep shit with my folks; still living under their rules in their house.
To this day, I can't look at or think about Molson Golden with thinking about that day and I thought I was gonna "get lucky" later. Pfffft. Yeah lucky my Dad didn't kick my ass up and down the street.

 

Accidentally cut a growler line, which may seem like an impossibly stupid achievement, but I did it. I walked in and saw 5-6 strewn about, which was the line, and I promptly walked up to the counter, sampled as normal, and they asked what growler I wanted. Guy gave me the dirtiest look next me and I realized what I did. Walked back to the end and waited for 10-15 min to get my half growler filled...I hope it doesn't get more embarrassing that for me.

 

When I first got into Craft beer a few years ago, I was not very educated with distribution. I asked the lady at my bottle store if she had ever heard of Pliny the elder. She said, "yeah" with a confused look. I asked "could you get it in?". She just laughed and walked away. I live in NW Ohio...

 

Some of these sound more like most "dick-move" you've done to someone in a supposed beer situation.

 

My buddy insisted that I ask for "the cellar menu" at a taproom once. When I did, the barmaid laughingly said, "You're lookin' at it. We're sellers of everything on that menu." Not really that embarrassing, but pretty funny.

 

Case Day.

 

My wife calls Weihenstephaner beers "Gwen Stefani" beers because the first time my friends and I discussed the beer it was loud party situation and that is what my wife thought we said. Not really embarrassing but a funny story to share.

 

Hi. Do you have any Heady Topper...

 

Senior week after HS graduation. Shared a hotel room with 7 other guys at the beach in OCMD. Everyone brought down lots of different beers and we all shared in community coolers. I tried 1 German beer that a guy from school brought down one afternoon (can't remember the name of the beer) and went on to say how strong it was and was giving me a quick buzz. A few guys laughed at me because it was non-alcoholic.

 

How many did this when they first got into craft, joined the BA site and were clueless. Saw the top 200 list, printed it off and carried into your local bottle shop and asked if they had any of the beers listed in the top 10-20? Gosh that was embarrassing! Not a single one of them was in the store and most all weren't even distributed in the state! :-)

 

Tailgating on a windy day, I thought it would be a good idea to scratch my head with the hand holding my beer. My poor daughter got a beer shower. Beer is good for hair, right?

 

I can't say I did this one lol. But I'm happy you learned from that mistake.

 

I thought that an IPA and an Imperial Pale Ale...were two different styles for a bit. Face - palm
