    I try not to give BMC drinkers anything too crazy, so I don't really get absurd responses. Why give someone a BA stout when their palate hasn't developed? Throw them a wheat beer or a nice pils, lager, kolsch, and chances are they will like it and perhaps even check out more craft.

    My son, a Keystone light guy, once drank my whole six of Torpedo and said "Really good beer Dad".

    I got friends that will always tell me "I drink ales, you got any?" Then I ask what type of said ales do they drink, they look at me like I'm an idiot, say they drink all ales. I give them an IPA and they recoil in disgust. They then tell me they drink golden ales mainly.

    "Free" often trumps "too hoppy" and all the other negative comments noted above, as well.

    Mine friends, usually BMC drinkers, say "Thanks, here comes Stubs with the good stuff."

    After drinking a few usually "This is the only kind of stuff I'm buying from now on." Then the next time I see them its straight back to Miller Lite.

    "it's too bitter", "how can you drink that?"

    The wife wont drink any, and just calls them "your expensive ass beers".

    wife to husband looking at mix-a-six wall: Does IPA mean India Pale Ale? I don't know. It says IPA India Pale Ale. Hmm, I want to try the IPA but I don't want to look like an idiot. Hmm, IPA...let's ask the worker lady. Hey are IPAs India Pale Ale? Do you have them? Do we just buy one? Can you show me?

    worker lady: Well we have lots of beers. Some are IPAs. I.. er.. I'll show you. Yes, here is one. Here is another. Um...

    wife to husband: Honey, IPAs!! :grinning: *giddy*

    worker lady: :l *rolleyes*

    Gave my friend a smoked beer to try:

    Her: "this doesn't taste like beer."
    Me: "this is beer."

    "So, like, it gets you real messed up?" The beer was a bomber and was 10%abv and so I did the math for him real quick and explained its about 4 "regular beers".

    My old boss met up with me and one of my craft beer buddies at hop fest (a IPA/fresh hop tap take over at Brouwers to celebrate the hop harvest) and he consumed a Pliny (8% abv) and a Boneyard Hop Venom (10% abv) in about a 15 time span, while I still had half a glass of my first beer left. He was telling a story and then he stops mid sentence, stares at us with a concerned look, then says "wait a minute....how strong are these beers...? I feel a little too drunk already..." Then he proceeded to chug water. Hahahaha good thing he wasn't driving.

    My favorite is the "it's way too strong" line, which is usually followed by a conversation of how they only drink beer "to get drunk".
