Admitting Your Beer Noobdom

Per Russian River staff, it's pronounced with a long I vowel sound. Pliney like piney. But as they also told me...tomato/tomahto. Would you like a pint or a pitcher?

 

Noobs

 

It is.

 

I've been drinking beer for, let me check my watch, 48 years. I also like being a relative newbie.

 

Uh, Italian didn't exist at the time. It's Latin, bro.

Naturalist -- Plin -- ee
Beer -- Ply - knee

 

Whenever I don't know how to pronounce a fancy foreign beer, I just go for my best French from my one year in 8th grade.

 

Okay here's mine (before I make a fool of myself): Pronunciation of heady topper: is it heedy topper or heddy topper?

 

I don't even like beer. I'm trying to develop a taste for it though.

 

You're just a whipper snapper.......... Had my first Bud, God knows how long ago, had Coors when it was "first introduced to the east" in the early 80's, that was a huge deal, as any "Smokey and The Bandit" fan could tell you, had my first Coors light a a long time after that when I started getting fat!

Only after much suffering can one truly appreciate the beers of today! I'm pretty sure Yoda said that in-between takes on the set of Empire!

Have not purchased any of those beers in over 10 years. I did have Bud Light this summer at a friends surprise birthday party when his sons were proud to offer it to me "on-tap" and I did not wish to be rude. Harmless, "beer" flavored, fizzy, yellow water, didn't kill me, still had fun.

I am still a noob floating in the endless sea of new craft beers. Speaking of that, time to crack open another Narwhal!

 

Up until recently, I was under the impression that the lace also included any residual bubbles on top of the beer after the head dies down.

Been drinking craft beer since '02 or so, but my venture into reviewing said beer was birthed less than a year ago. I've learned so much in that time.

 

Never tried any of the top 100, never had a BCBS either unfortunately.

 

Yep. I pronounce it 'Ho Garden'. I know that it's wrong, and I don't care. It's fun to say.

 

What the hell is a firkin?

 

Female merkin?

 

It must be high in alcohol because it's triple hops brewed.

 

I found out headytopper was sold 45 min from my house 2 months before distributiom dropped to just around waterbury

 

K, I'm going to get Heady topper in 2 days so I'd love to know how to pronounce it, anyone? Heedy or heddy?

 

i bring blue moon to a bottle share. nah just kidding. i still enjoy a blue moon though.

 

I have zero facial hair and still love craft beer.
