So I Bought The WRONG Beer!

Yup, very similar



I once bought North Coast Brother Thelonius instead of Old Stock. That was weird.

 

Not sure this is worth a thread. Both good Oktoberfests. Just enjoy it and pay more attention next time

 

I prefer Sam Adams myself, but both are very respectable.

 

Yes I have, and it was a SN beer also. I picked up a 12 pack of Summerfest thinking it was the Summer Variety pack. Worked out OK though, it was good. Consider yourself fortunate as variety is the spice of life...

 

Haven't done it yet.,........

 

The correct style, but different Brewer. Wrong bottle type. Don't remember a Sierra Nevada longneck.

 

The bottles and packaging size are a bit different too, but you could have done a lot worse, we've gone through a few 6 packs of each already.

 

I was doing a quick beer run once, and I was at one of my favorite stores that has a limited but great selection. Every time I go there they always have Weihenstephan Hefeweizen half liters but none of the other ones. So I blindly grabbed a couple and went home. This time it turned out to be Kristallweizen, but that's fine since they are both fantastic. I just usually prefer the unfiltered version.

 

Done it with singles building a six pack more than once. Never made any horrible errors. But yeah I would bummed too, the SN version is superior to be sure...

 

I did the same thing a few years ago. I was looking around WFs for something fresh and found a bottle of Stone SSR. I thought to myself that if I didn't find anything else, I'd grab that on the way out of the store.

So, after I did my shopping, I swung back by the beer section and grabbed what I thought was the SSR. Turns out I grabbed Stone's Smoked Porter, which also had blue graphics on the bottle and was probably right next to it on the shelf. I had no clue until I smelled it as I poured. I hate smoked beer.

no this have never happened to me.

i know how to read. i buy what i want to buy.

 

I can't tell if this is a troll thread...

 

this is like going to the grocery store and buying the complete wrong thing. FOR EXAMPLE, i eat Special K Protein Plus and my girl bought my regular Special K. i'm easy going so i said i'll eat it but i want Protein Plus.

next time out she bought the wrong thing again!! she said, "i saw Special K and bought it". i broke up with her the next week because i considering reading a "special" and invaluable skill.

if you plan on buying something read the label! i don't know how people can be so oblivious, i've been absolutely wasted and can still figure out minute details.

LEARN HOW TO READ and utilize this skill!! it is somewhat of a big deal.

 

And you wonder why lawyers think nothing about taking the most ridiculous cases....

 

Could have done worse for sure. Also, no to answer your question (soberly speaking)

 

Hi everyone. I'm Dano first time posting.
I did the same with Ballast Point. I wanted sculpin but grabbed habanero sculpin instead. Big mistake.

 

I've done that before. When I was a budding beer enthusiast I bought what I thought was bottle of St. Bernardus Wit but when I got home I discovered it was Abt. 12 which I never had before. One of the best mistakes I ever made.
