Funny things your BMC friends say when given craft.

To be fair, you can.

 

LMAO. Reminds me of my friend who is originally from Cuba. He had been drinking beers like Corona or similar his entire life, but in the last year I've gotten him to enjoy some pale ales, IPAs, belgians, etc with me and he always takes a sip and goes "I like it. A lot of flavor, papi. A lot of flavor" LOL

 

When people say this taste like soap. I also had a friend tell me that Bells two hearted tasted like finger nail polish remover.

 

I was at a bar drinking with some colleagues, most of whom were ordering Harp lager. I got a pint of Two-Hearted, and one of them (who was an ex-marine, and an FBI officer) asked to try it. He took a sip and exclaimed "that beer's too much man for me". I actually got a chuckle out of that one because at least it was honest!

 

I have no BMC friends.

 

One that may be more for the NEPA or PA crowd would be people referring to anything other than light beer as lager. I say that it might be native to our area because of Yuengling lager marketing itself as being ordered by name. ex. "I'll take two lagers" is synonymous with "I'll take two Yuengling Lagers"

Anyways, when I am drinking anything that is craft, some of the really out of the loop BMC drinkers go out of their way to tell me that they don't like 'lager beer' as they are enjoying a Bud Light.

It seems that since Yuengling Lager is darker, they think that lagers are anything that's not light beer.

 

"Don't you got any cider beer here?"

Guy looking in the cooler:
"Dude where's the 40's? No not that, the 40 percent shit, the Jack!" (Jack Daniels whiskey)

"Can you refill my empty barrel of Coors Light while I wait?"

 

"I just can't choke some of those dark beers down"

 

well, they're BMC drinkers, so I guess they should know

 

My friend, after drinking a Delerium Nocturnum "The bottle looks cool, but whatever is inside of it isn't beer."

 

went on a trip to montreal recently, brought back a bunch of different stouts and i had some while i was there as well

gave my friend an imperial stout that was around 11.5% the facial expression was hilarious and the comment followed by that was "so much flavor it taste so dirty" i know some people that are really into hard liquor, and if it comes to beer they always manage to ramble about how they just like the typical coors or whatever piss water u can think of. so if i pull out a bag from whole foods with beer in it the typical response "oh hes on that organic pricy shit" oooooooh lord lol

 

My good buddy used to only drink cheap beer because he was kinda poor. He did drink good beers, but only.rarely and never understood why I refused to drink Coors, Bud, etc. I took him out for a night of drinks on me, all pale ales, then IPA, then Bavarian wheats, stouts, etc. Then at the end of the night I bought him a Killians and he grimmaced. He was telling.me " I get it! i get it!!" He now saves his money and gets good stuff!

 

Guinness Guinness Guinness. That seems to be all that comes up with a beer that isn't fizzy and yellow. Maybe once and a while Blue Moon. I appreciate the effort, but its kinda sad that those are the two beers many equate to being special or different

 

What kind of tailgate parties do you go to? and are they in Colorado? Cuz i'm there. haha.

 

It was the Steelers @ Jets in NJ. The kid was a Jet fan. He had no clue.

 

The only beer I've ever seen at tailgate parties is meant to be consumed through a beer bong or shotgunned to avoid having to taste it whatsoever. St. Bernardus is quite the tailgate party!

 

I try to convert people, but if they want BMC, more craft for me.

 

Everytime I go to my parent's house and let my mom try a beer, she always says "It needs salt." Cracks me up everytime.

 

one guy I know who thinks he knows craft but really doesn't, whenever i get him to try something, pretty much no matter what the style, he says "hmmm tastes like Newcastle" that cracks me up

 

Poured some Heady Topper in a glass for my pops last weekend and he said, "This tastes kinda like Shock Top!"
I facepalmed.
Last night on his birthday, I poured him a bottle of Zombie Dust and he goes: "This tastes like Heady Topper?"
Gettin' closer dad, gettin' closer.
