Biggest beer pet peeves

I despise breweries who cut corners. If you use extracts, concentrates, and syrups to make the beer. Then charge high prices? Your beer ain't worth the dime. Don't cut corners to make profit.

Funky Buddha....

 

That works!

Yeah, the ones I'll never get to try. Like KBBS and Mornin' Delight!

 

Sharing something special with a "gulper". I was pouring glasses of a very hard to get stout once and my brother was with us so he got some too. You can't exactly leave anyone out. He drank the entire glass is 3 gulps. When I asked him why did you do that his response was "For the buzz." What a waste !

 

It's their import section and there are a number of clear, and possibly green, don't recall which they are...

 

Actually I feel pretty confident saying that more wealthy people still prefer cheap beer over craft beer.

 

At least he drinks it. I have the opposite issue. Got a friend whom always gets excited to have some of my expensive beers, and litterally never drinks more than 50% of what I pour him (style be damed). And he refused cheap BMC beer altogether (and I've been fine with cheap beer myself from time to time and offer him one). I've learned that he only gets a few oz. then if he finishes and wants more I'm glad to give more. He's a beer snob who doesn't really drink/enjoy beer yet he wants it and acts excited for it. Very strange indeed. I'd rather have a gulper myself.

 

Celebrities dont know shit.

These are the same asshats who tell us we should he concerned about our "carbon footprint" and then fly back-and-forth across the world in private jets.

Whenever anyone famous endorses something, I immediately think "I shouldnt give a shit about (said) thing".

 

That very thing is the bane of my existence, especially for American beers. I've said it many times here, but the only American beers that really come up this way are Samuel Adams, Anchor Steam, Bruery, the odd Clown Shoes, and Anderson Valley Gose.

 

how does one define a wealthy person ?

 

Just found something that I would consider a pet peeve here. I just discovered that I've never reviewed Dragon's Milk or Breakfast Stout, two beers I've had dozens of times over the years. And this isn't the first time this has happened. Being the completist I am, I now feel obligated to go out and drink these beers just to rectify the situation even though I could describe them from memory.

 

Rather than what one might bring to any group of folks liking beer, and whether or not it's called a "bottle share", the main focus should be who is there.....you know, like your friends. A quart of Schlitz amongst friends could be a hoot. It is not a competition sharing and liking beer.

 

No prices on beer in the store. I hate having to guess how much it costs. Servers who just say a brewery name when I ask what beers they have.

 

Really? I’ve met some BA’s and had bottle shares with them...and their friends...and their family members. We were all sitting around and having a great time talking; oh, and we were drinking some excellent beer too.

The two things aren’t mutually exclusive.

 

For some reason the term “vintage” when used for seasonal beer releases bothers me WAY too much.

The term “vintage”, to me, conjures up an image of, obviously, wine, where the vintage is extremely unique, it’s based upon the wildness of Mother Nature; where the product is directly influenced by even subtle changes in weather like heat, frost, wind, storms, various rains.

The term “vintage” implies elegance and surrender to natural forces to produce a product. Not something like beer that has a lot more control compared to wine.

Just say “the 2017 (beer name)” instead of “the 2017 vintage of (beer name)” to prevent yourself from sounding like the biggest asshat around.

Not reading thru 27 pages of this, but:

When 'murican craft beer is buried under "Imported" at a restaurant vs Domestic (you know, like Bud Light, the thing that hasn't been 'murican owned for a while)

They should just replace Domestic vs Imported with Cheap vs Not so Much

 

I prefer to see datings.

I also dont like people who act better than others due to what they drink. Its absolutely nuts.

 

There is a brewery in this area will stamp the date on the bottom of just one can in their six packs. That is fine, they're giving you the date which is awesome. But sometimes the stamp is smeared or poorly placed, making it illegible. Just kinda defeats the purpose.

 

Someone who can write a check for a new Corvette that will be rarely driven because the wife really doesn't like sitting a few inches above the pavement.

 

When the beer shop staff buys all the beer before it has a chance to hit the shelf

 

Biggest beer pet peeve is when someone says that a style of beer is based upon Instagram culture.
