Things that Beer Geeks say

"I wonder what this would taste like with some age on it"
"I could brew something like this/better then this" (For my homebrewing homies out there)

 

You found a chain restaurant that had that good of a beer, and you won't go back because the waitress didn't understand the need for proper glassware? Come on man, your making yourself look bad.

 

"Very complex... with bubblegum notes"

 

I should be able to dictate bottle shop business practices so they suit MY needs!


That never fails to stun me.

 

Budweiser stinky

 

"this beer really falls off after one week"

 

"It's only $20 for a bomber! Awesome!"

 

"You gotta work for NASA to figure out this bottling date code"

 

"I hope this thread doesn't get locked"

 

why the firk would I buy bottle beer in a beer bar when I can drink it at home for half the price.
The price point is too high for bombers.
it's not rare enough.
I only drink whales.

 

Cashier: "Were you looking for something specific?"
Beer Geek: "Nah, I was just checking your selection." (said while sadly leaving small mom-and-pop liquor stores after finding out their idea of craft beer is Heineken and Newcastle)

 

Friend: $25 for a beer!
Me: But it's barrel aged

 

That saison smelled like wet horse blanket. It was incredible!

 

Can't make this stuff up... Yesterday SWMBO called and said I had a message from BCBS and my first thought was "what the hell does Goose Island want from me"...

 

they found you man! <runs>



Me and my buddy are huge into NBA 2k series, so we have discustions for certain beers for certain times. The other night was an epic discusion.

"What do you want to drink for the draft, how about an DIPA?"
"No, the DIPA would more be the victory won the championship game beer, I say we have a smoked porter"
"When you think draft you think smoked porter, I don't ever know you anymore"
"Saison Dupont?"
"Saison Dupont"
"But I do have that growler of 61 minute IPA that we could drink"
"Screw it, let your wife decide; what ever she comes back with is the answer"



<true story>

 

"I get a really nice cat piss flavor from this"

 

"I'm not a geek." -me

 

"Can I have a glass, please?" - when handed a bottle of beer

 

I should point it it was Blue Cross and Blue Shield...infinitely worse!

 

great thread, a few of the posts really made me laugh even though i say those things too (yes, I am a gem/snob/advocate whatever else you wanna call it)

The first thing that came to my mind (similar to what a couple others have posted)

"you dont know what BCBS/CW/BBS/BBW stands for?"
