Funny things your BMC friends say when given craft.

When people know very little about a subject they can only make statements that show their ignorance. This is why most people basically talk about nothing. When they do feel the need to say something they parrot what they heard on "The Ticket." When they actually go out on a limb and say something original, it is usually demonstrates their ignorance. Welcome to civilization, where most people contribute nothing except stupid offspring and vote for the candidate that offers them the free lunch.

 

I gave a BCBS to one of my college interns. He said he would drink it to start the night. When I asked him how he liked it he responded with" I thought it would get us fired up. Instead I drank it and wanted to crawl into bed and cry myself to sleep".

I still laugh about that one.

The other funny one was a buddy told me he doesnt know what is worse, that I drink fancy sissy beer or that I am a big enough sucker to pay for the brewery glass that somehow magically makes the beer taste better. Was drinking a chimay blue in the proper glass at the time.

Good times

 

You have to wonder how people know some of these things...ummmm...maybe not, come to think of it.

 

Took a bottle of Drie Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek to my parents house this Thanksgiving and had it while helping my mother cook. Poured 5 glasses and the only one who truly enjoyed it, besides myself obviously, was my grandmother who doesn't drink. Very heartbroken because that came back from Belgium with me

 

What's a BMC friend?

 

I will pretty much never insult someone's choices in beer unless they make a negative comment about mine, but if someone drinking a BMC ever called something I was drinking a "sissy beer", they'd get an earful about how what they are drinking is the real sissy beer.

 

Brother-in-law (exclusively drinks only Coors products), gave him a sip of my SN Hoptimum and he responds: " you might as well drink Wine Coolers."

 

I was out watching the hawks game last night at a bar. Decided to order a bottle of Rye Da Tiger to split with my brother. It took him about a minute to finish his half... and after chugging the last 6oz he put the glass down, looked at me and said, "that's a damn good beer."

Better than nothing I guess.

 

To be honest my experience with a Duchesse de Bourgogne last night lead me to this thread. I've never had such a negative reaction to a beer in all my days than that particular beer. I get it, it's a Flemish Red, I've had other Flemish beer I actually quite like but this Duchesse...wow...overwhelming stench of vinegar with hints of vomit. I had to drain pour.

 

Someone who drinks Bud/Miller/Coors

 

As a bartender, i always like it when people say, "i like dark beer, but nothing as heavy as Guinness". You should see their faces when i tell them it has fewer calories than any of the other 62 beers on tap. Guinness? Heavy? Ha!

 

Anything that might disprove someone's pre-conceived notions or insult their intelligence is a hard conversation, better left avoided. Especially if they aren't on the same page or don't have as good of an understanding as you. Especially if they are drunk. AND especially if the topic is of minimal importance.
BTW I am from the Midwest (MI).

 

"You paid how much for a six pack" Are you nuts?"

 

It was actually quite funny. We bust each others chops all the time. I did not take it as an insult, just that I needed to find a reason he was a bigger puss and saying oh yeah you drink an even sissier beer wouldn't work.

 

OH!
Now, that I haven't seen.
Out these ways, and anywhere else I've lived, Craft was its own section, imports their own, and then there is a cooler of BMC junk.
Maybe it's just a legacy since the Midwest has actually kept a broader diversity of breweries when the rest of the country had only BMC (of course, this is before everyone was bought out).

 

While pouring my Narwhal : "Oh, you can just seeeeee the flavor."

 

huh?

 

Oh this is pretty comparable to Guiness.

 

Unfortunately, this is very common due to Guinness being the only real dark beer in the public eye for a lot of people. Anything dark = Guinness.

 

"I'm just kidding...I don't drink BMC"
