Biggest beer pet peeves

Now that is beer advocacy. My avatar X 2.

 

Totally agree. That is just gross.

 

An empty glass.

 

happy hours that only apply to bmc not any craft offerings

 

The bro beer enthusiast that takes a conversation about beer into a D&$k showing contest about what bottle shops he goes to exclusively and what whalez he has in his storage closet.

 

Not just Vegas...any upscale place that offers only those beer choices. Good Lord, have a local beer or two on tap.

 

No ABV listed on the bottle really chaps my ass.

 

My Top Five (in this order):
1 - The same beer being offered in both 12oz and 22oz bottles...and the price-per-ounce is remarkably different (often times with the 12oz offering being much more economical)
2 - Leaky crowns! Although rare, I've seen my fair share of bottles with damaged caps...and have been a victim of purchasing expensive beers that suffer this problem.
3 - Bottle coding (best by or bottled on date...as for the former, I'll be the judge as a consumer)
4 - ABV information
5 - If contract brewed, the location where it was produced

 

The unnecessary term "barrel program". It reeks of snobbery, and beer should never be snobbish.

The terming "______ forward". Just fucking say it is fruity or hoppy or whatever. Think I'm wrong? Use that type of lingo to describe a steak or a taco. Do it and everyone will look at you like you're a fucking idiot.

Tropical. Sorry, this is used way to often as an IPA descriptor. Look up what are considered tropical fruits and you might agree

Amber waves of chocolate milk or grain? Amber is not brown. Don't use it to describe a brown colored beer.

 

Weather lends itself to many things, including beer varieties. I don't know anyone that holds such rules against others, but rather it is akin to not wanting wear a turtleneck on a warm day or at the beach...or coffee with pizza....as these things do not compliment each other. Still, to each his or her own. Wanna sit by the fire and sip a Berliner Weisse...knock yourself out. I'll have a scotch ale.

 

As much as i love their beer, Three Floyds is notorious for this.

 

If i had to guess, this BA might be referring to Goose Island. Using their logic that the mass produced offerings are "crap", whilst the Bourbon County is the "heavenly stuff" But i'm merely speculating.

 

when people genderize beer

 

Some people have shares where you have to bring beers that are above a certain score on BA. I find that ridiculous. Also when people say they don't like IPAs because they don't like dark beers. I never understood why they thought that.

 

scratched off sell-by dates, followed by the absence of a receipt. this happened to me with an entire six pack of Estrella, and I was not a happy camper that day. Poured out like frickin applesauce

 

Shaker/Pint Glasses - F those

 

No ABV on bottle...rare, but it's annoying as hell

 

when shop owner's own preferences are the most displayed products. not everyone is into what you are, pal.

 

Pennsylvania's antiquated alcohol laws!!

 

didnt even realze this bugged me until yesterday...
When people who think they are beer try to sound lie they know what theyre saying by pronouncing imported beers with what they believe to be the correct accent and pronunciation, only to fail miserably. Just comes off as pretentious and snobby to me. I heard it with people talking about drie fonteinen oud gueze.
