Beer Lingo Dictionary

I think this partly covers a ticker but doesn't quite go the whole way

If a ticker who has had 6,000 beers is at a bar and sees on the tap list:

a) the best beer they ever tasted
b) Captain Morgans Barrel Aged Bud Light Chelada Clamato (that they have never tried)

and they only have the time or $ for one beer, then they will go with option b). Also tickers often tick based on questionable pour sizes

 

My grand kids think so and I go along because I like to hear 'em laugh.

 

Ticker.

 

Shitshow: a poorly handled brewery beer release. Alternately, Poopshow, when in the company of your significant other's family.

Your definition needs more . . . umm . . . facts.

Brettanomyces is an entire genus of yeast, not simply a strain of one species. Brettanomyces gets its hallmark character from phenols, but the entire genus is known for strong esterase enzyme activity. Brettanomyces can lead to sourness, via acetic acid, if allowed to ferment in an aerobic environment. Lastly lactobacillus is a bacterium, and, again, an entire genus of bacteria, that produces lactic acid.

 

I have a friend who can legitimately lay claim to be an upper echelon ticker and I have witnessed this behavior on more than one occasion. It isn't in the extreme sense you say, but more like when we're at a brewery ready to order, he will say to me something like, "If you haven't tried XYZ I would get it, one of the best beers I tasted last year," as he orders a beer he hasn't tried (which of course he knew was on tap since we wouldn't be there if it wasn't)

 

Senior Beer Traditionalist: One whose's been drinking beer for 50 years, drinks Lager as their first choice and frankly doesn't give a hoot what other people drink.

 

Oy, that must be like going to watch a game with a Patriots fan
"You know I love you, man....but don't push it, okay."

 

Na . . . acetic acid can be created very quickly, in any fermentation that includes Brettanomyces, if enough oxygen is present. I can link the biochemistry, if you like.

That said, yes, the sourness from lactic acid is what people are looking for in sour beer.

Or, they could just be correct.

 

Mule When you bring your significant others' family to a Shitshow so they can buy beer and you can get a bigger Allotment than you are entitled to get.

Allotment An artificial number decided upon by a brewery for how much beer to allow individual customers to buy. It is designed to make maximum amount of hype for a beer release and to cause conditions that make it as hard as possible to purchase the beer

 

He isn't a troll, he's a know-it-all

 

Anytime I hear poo-bah, it takes me back in time to Barney and Fred heading out to the Water Buffalo lodge.

 

Oh, it's gotta be a call-back to that!

 

Solid, sounds like beer mad libs.

 

I want my Water Buffalo hat!

 

Or, the alternative definition: A system by which a brewery makes an honest attempt to get a beer into as many different hands as possible. Some folks (especially fanboys of Murkbombs and BAL-Aged anything) often bring 20-Mule teams to "Game the system".
