Biggest beer pet peeves

Seasonal Bottles that sit on the shelf, only for a year to pass and them to be re-released, so the shop just leaves the old stock and you buy a bottle thinking it just came out. Shame.

 

Restaurants that don't have a beer list. One of my favorite places to eat in town has about 30 lines with roughly half of them dedicated to a rotating array of craft. But they don't have a physical beer list with what's on tap. So I have to go up to the bar and peruse tap handles like a moron if I want to know what they have.

And believe me, that's a much faster process than asking the poor server to tell me everything on tap.

I mentioned it to a server once that it would be helpful if they had a beer list. Her response was "oh we have too many beers that are constantly changing for that."

Umm, that's exactly WHY you need a list!

 

Being gifted a bottle of homebrew then being told, "oh, I just bottled it yesterday. You'll have to wait two weeks before drinking it."

 

It's funny that there's a thread right above this one right now on the main page on "Julian bottle dating."

 

Mom and Pop liquor stores that keep majority of special release beers for themselves and there friends. I've sat and waited for KBS to be released one time and saw the delivery truck bring in 4 cases. Then I asked them how much they got and they say 1 case. Are you guys kidding me? It disgusts me.

 

Are you really complaining about free beer??????

 

You should feel honored that you were probably the first person to get a bottle of that fresh batch. And the two week suspense of how good that beer will taste is just part of the glorious experience of being gifted some homebrew.

 

HaHa, I agree 10%

 

Nope. Just don't like when someone else's bottles break.

 

I know that feeling la fin du monde 12 bucks tasted like old cigarette buts

 

I could not agree with this more..the only thing that seems to have a price on it in many of the stores around me are the miller, coors, natty, types, everything else there isn't a price tag to be found...

 

This. I'm all about bringing some brews for the summit of a hike, and I routinely make a habit of doing so. It takes zero additional effort to just put the empties back in your pack when you're done.

 

When beers say "drink fresh" on the can/ bottle but don't provide the date! (looking at you, Tree House）.Also when they don't list the ABV, i don't mind that as much but how is that even legal??

 

Sadly, this will happen with any scene/subculture eventually. Don't let the douchery make you jaded to something you love.

 

People who only drink AAL's and are completely unwilling to try any other style of beer not matter what it is.

Also going to a restaurant, bar, etc. and there only being Macro Lager beers available. Don't get me wrong, I won't turn down an AAL but why drink them when there are so many better, more flavourful options??

 

OK I have to capitalize this:

I CANNOT STAND WHEN THE "BEER SERVER" PUTS THE SPOUT INTO MY GLASS WHEN POURING MY BEER!

 

Agree with all those who said no bottled/canned on date.

 

The notion that the speed at which molecules are moving in the air around me should dictate what styles of beer I should be drinking. Let me drink my ten fidy, in july, on the beach in peace....

...just kidding, i don't like the beach.

 

I dislike BMC and try to give my money to actual craft brands most of the time. I'm referring more to the tendency to decide any beer they own sucks automatically. You should judge it on its own merits, not of the brewery making it. This goes in the other direction as well where there's some breweries that can do no wrong on here.

 

When people compalin when they miss out on a release.
