    I had that the other day. I asked what he had on tap, and he asked, "What are you looking for?" Well, that pretty much depends on what's on tap, doesn't it? I didn't want to come off as a snob and say something like, "What do you have that doesn't taste like Budweiser?"

    I ended up with a Thomas Hooker IPA, which I THINK was pretty good, but...to rehash someone else's complaint on this thread, it came in a frosted glass. Whatever aroma the beer was supposed to have, well, it turns out it doesn't have it if the top inch has turned to ice. (After it warmed up a little, it was definitely pretty good, but I'd love to try it again.)

    Ha!!! How about we free up each others cellars together, you give me what you want and I'll give you what I don't want. Lol.

    What a lazy-ass. A waiter responding to a diner's question with a question is the height of asshattery. I would have responded by saying "I won't know what I'm looking for until I know what my options are", because even if you go with the (paraphrasing) "something better than Budweiser" route, you'll inevitably get that waiter who thinks Michelob is quality beer.

    1. Kitchen sinks have only 2 faucets and both of them are taken by water.
    2. Beer is not classified as a vegetable.
    3. You can never turn down the car a/c low enough to chill a beer to the proper temperature.
    4. There's no pill your can take [that I'm aware of] that will let you drink as much beer as you want without gaining weight.
    5. Beer cannot be freeze-dried.

    When I bring a 6er of craft to a party, other people snag 5/6 of my beer without asking, then complain that I didn't bring more. 1) I don't mind sharing, but for fuck's sake, ask before you take. It's just common courtesy. 2) Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Manners, people.

    Heh, now I'm confused. :wink: My cellar isn't particularly impressive (even less so seeing as it's just a finished basement). I TRY to buy extras for cellaring, but beer just tastes so GOOD!

    If you're in SE CT, though, I'd be more than willing to trade some lovely cigars for some lovely beers. My "cellar" is about more than beer, thankfully.

    Wish my cellar was at least finished. I appreciate the cigar offer but I finally quit smoking and don't plan on going back.

    Only thing I truly "cellar" are stouts anyway. I just have a hoarding and trading problem.

    People who do not know the difference between a whale, wail, wale, etc. It is a whale, as in Captain Ahab searching for the white whale. Geez. Read a book.

    Uneducated people.
    Beer doesn't get skunked from going cold to warm.
    Guinness is not a high alcohol bomb, nor is a thick, oily, smudgy, mess of a mouth-feel.
    Hoppy beers deserve fridge space.
    Tell me why you don't like hops, not "oh, I hate alllllllllllllll the hops." No you fucking don't.

    Not trying to step up on a high horse, but a baseline knowledge should be required of drinking. I mean come on, things like skinny girl vodka shouldn't exist. Come on consumers, wake up and realize what shit really is.

    My GF sent this to me a few days ago:
    [​IMG]
    Yes, I do have beer in the fridge vegetable crisper. I wanted more room for beer.

    On the weight gain, IIRC stimulants (Adderall, -phetamines, etc.) can help you lose weight.:wink:
    Cannot recommend though. But Beer Bulimia...
    Once again my joke is in poor taste.

    I wanted more room for beer too. I wanted a small fridge but couldn't find one that could fit more than 2 -3 sixpacks so . . . believe it or not, the wife suggested a small apartment fridge. It's out in a 3-season room and it's perfect and since I don't use the freezer, I let her store food in it.

    As for the weight gain suggestions, thanx but no thanx. Been there done that.

    And the joke in poor taste - yours or mine? Either way, I don't care - just curious.

    Oh, my poor taste. Both the stimulants and eating disorder were jokes. clarified above.

    Tasting a deliciously amazing beer and then realizing that it was like crack and now you're addicted but it was brewed only once and you will never see it again.

    I would have either asked the guy for a six pack either before he got to the checkout or maybe put your stuff down and ask to buy one from him outside (just might make a beer friend or piss off a hoarder). If he is unwilling to part with a single six pack out of 3 cases, then there is something wrong there.
