That facepalm moment

One of three.

 

I can believe when your tastes are confused you mix "hey that tasted different" with "hey this tastes different". Until you gain an actual taste, it all just tastes.. Well.. Different

 

Just be happy he ordered a Brown Shugga' instead of a Bud Light. So what if he compared it to Blue Moon?
Two steps forward, one step back.

 

Holy shit this was funny.

 

I once gave someone some a taste of Jester King's Boxer's Revenge (a sour wild ale aged and bourbon and wine barrels) and they told me it tasted like Mike's Hard Lemonade.

 

ISO: Jester King's Revenge, FT: Mike's Hard Lemonade. I'd like to keep this $4$, please. Thanks.

 

I don't know if the shipping would be fair though... as I'd be sending one bottle and you'd be sending almost a case. The sugar/corn syrup headache that would occur gives me chills, blech.

 

That's a tricky situation...

Next time you should just punch him in the jaw and swagger back to your pull tab booth.

 

Fair enough; we can just go oz4oz.

 

I wish Blue Mood tasted like Brown Shugga. I would drink that shiz year round!

 

When will someone make a monocle that can withstand the force of my pretentiousness.

 

i work at a sour brewery. face-palm moments abound. also, idliketochokeyouout moments. but i have personally introduced hundred of people to sour beer, and it's been a pleasure, for the most part.

also, what the fuck is the deal with people asking for a beer "like blue moon." it's my least favorite beginning-of-interaction-with-a-customer question. i usually respond with something like "blue moon is an imitation microbrew that compares very little to the artisan ales we and other microbreweries serve." which, i realize, is somewhat elitist, but it gets the point across.

 

also, upvote for alex grey.

 

Send beer to Texas, it would make us... Jolly?

 

Brown Shugga is back? Why didn't you fuckin beer dorks tell me?!!!

Haha.. You guys are great. But its back? I've got to get me hands on some again. Only had one bottle one time last year.

 

I dont know. I stopped paying attention after this.

Cheers!

 

One time, immediately after having eaten a homemade corn dog covered in spicy mustard, my friend gave me a pour of his homebrew Flanders red, and after I took a sip I asked him if it was his citra pale ale. *Doh*

Rinsed my mouth out a few times, tried it again, and realized how dumb I must have sounded.

 

But you have people reaching out to you to get them to try something unique. Though your beer is certainly much better than Blue Moon (I'm assuming I'm right in the brewery I think you work for), why don't you have them try a Calabaza Blanca? It's brewed with similar spices which might be recognizable to the drinker. You could also probably put a better spin on the difference between a brewery like yours and Blue Moon.

 

Good, because WI is done sending any Bears fan a trade anyways!!

 

Elitist, and also false.

Blue Moon is made with wheat, coriander, orange peel, a belgian witbier yeast strain and compares well with White Rascal, Alaskan White, Allagash White, Great White, Namaste etc...
Do a blind taste test.
