I'll take "Things that annoy" for $200

A few things that annoy me:

When beer sits on the shelves at the liquor store for months and months, way past its expiration date, and there is no discount! I guess it's because the majority of consumers would not even think to look for an expiration date, so there's no motivation for the retailers to accommodate the minority who does care. But still, it would be really nice to see some, for example, expired Sculpin for $7 a six pack instead of the full $13.

Breweries / taprooms that lack an "identity." Even if it's just having 2 or 3 flagship beers that you know you can order every time you stop by. But that sense of familiarity is important for the customer.

 

You had me until the part about the NEIPA.

 

Well, I don't know. I had a barrel-aged Imperial Stout that had a peach, nectarine, plum, lychee mango, apricot, cherry, date, and apricot nose and a similar taste profile. It was very complex.

 

Strikes me as strange that anyone of any age would wear their hat backwards. Never dug it at all

Now another question, what is the maximum age that you can wear a jersey with someone else's name on it? Some will say there is no age limit. I have a friend who says the max age is 25-30. I agree with him.

 

You mean I have to retire my Havlicek basketball jersey? That thing is always a hit at the farmers market........Makes me want a Rheingold just because.

 

Wearing jerseys with your name on it is frowned upon in most places. Boys be the guy who’s wearing it or was wearing it. If your an adult game days only or special events like the draft etc. if your a kid no rules.

 

That made no sense, missed it. Don’t put your name on a jersey , only the guy wearing it now or it’s retired. New Orleans my friends.

 

I got a 6oz pour of Sazerac Rye for $9.50. No shit, I was stunned.

 

First world beer problems, but my fall lineup being destroyed.

No Hop Stalker
No Moonglow
No Nosferatu
PA Tuxedo replaced by some bullshit “cream ale”

 

To be clear, I didn't mean to infer that you would put your name on the jersey of a player, but once you reach the age, there should not be the players name either, i.e. number with no name. Putting your name on it, is just wrong

 

@nc41 ’s Sazerac-fueled tangent was confusing the shit out of me.

And yeah no names (I’m going by UK sports but seems our nations see eye to eye) - pros’, your own or anyone else’s - on shirts for adults

 

Replacement in a pinch bartender who was slinging beignets. I paid $18 to drink about 10 oz of Sazerac, he just free poured and poured. Pretty cool. The first was about 4 oz the next probably at least 6 oz chasing two Dixie beers which on tap was decent enough.

 

You have to have or be a neckbeard. Whatever.

 

Don't forget the man bun

 

Oh yeah. That's also mandatory.

 

The term "neckbeard." I have yet to see a real one: as in where the beard is only on the neck, and the face is clean. Not sure what I'd want to call it either: a furtleturtle? a bearskin?
I also think we need a counter-term, like "fleshneck" or "skinjob" for those who choose to enslave their cheeks to sharp metal things.

 

I always thought neckbeard referred to people that don’t trim their beards, especially when it comes to cleaning up the lower neck area.

Ol' Henry of Walden Pond fame comes to mind:


As well as some Amish men:

 

Yeah, dude...it's where you don't shave your neck, just one continuous hairy, dirty, unkept mess
