So I Bought The WRONG Beer!

Funniest reviews thread. Cried I laughed so hard.

 

Don't worry -- it is easy pick up the wrong beer.

We were at a local bar (OK, dive bar) that had an excellent kielbasi & American cheese pizza. I went to the bar and bought the first round. Came back with them and everyone was ticked. See - I bought a round of Miller lite instead of Bud light (remember, dive bar). The table claimed that Bud Light was way better. I was like, really guys???.

But I got out of it by a phone call from my mom. She was working at church Bingo and came out to a flat tire. So I had to go change it.

True story....

 

Now that shit's funny

 

I like this one too! Scared the dog I laughed so hard

 

Please tell me there were chilli cheese, it's the ONLY kind of Fritos...

 

Sure you did. But, it's a great excuse to go load up on SN Oktoberfest to complement the SA Octoberfest, then flip back and forth bottle-to-bottle to do a direct comparison over a full 12-pack, film it, put it up on You Tube, become bigger than Gangnam.

 

The only thing similar about the OP's beers is the style they fall under.

I think he was drinking when he made his purchase.

 

I recently was in a bottle shop in Cardiff by the Sea, saw Coronado Anniversary Imperial IPA and was like, "oh, I'd love to try that!" Bought it, took it home, drank it that very night. Tasted an awful lot like a barleywine. Very carmel-y and sweet. I was like, "Hmm, this doesn't quite match up to what I had anticipated." I looked more closely at the label. 17th Anniversary. "Oh..." Coronado just released their 19th Anniversary. This bottle had been hanging out for over 2 years, slowly aging into a delicious and satisfying beer, just not what I had intended to buy. Now I'm going to be a whole lot more careful when I purchase anniversary beers.

 

This is a thread about making a mistake. Since obviously you are someone who doesn't make mistakes (unless you consider awful spelling and grammar to be mistakes haha) I wonder why you opened this thread? And if I misinterpreted your post, and it was sarcasm (done poorly if it was), my apologies.

The last mistake I made was a bit different. After checking the bottling dates on a bunch of Two Hearted six packs on shelf I accidentally grabbed the oldest one, six months old in fact, instead of the three week old one I thought I had pulled aside.

 

Can't say I've ever done this. However, as others have mentioned, you could have done much worse on the accidental pull. Just enjoy the ride.

 

I would have thought that way a couple years ago, but with how strict the rules are about subject matter, I can't imagine a beer related anything that isn't threadworthy.

 

That Lagunitas IPA and SN Hop Hunter. Every time. Packaging and logos are the exact same thing.

*sarcasm*

 

My wife sent me to the store for milk and I came home with a 12 pack of Fat Tire…Forgot the milk! DOH

 

I also went out to buy a Hop Stoopid by Lagunitas one day, but accidentally came home with a green bottle Heinecken...Badum tss

 

If you're looking for SN, it won't be found in a longneck bottle....

 

Something similar happened to me in a brothel a number of years ago!

 

I feel like huge ding dong, went to the store yesterday afternoon to pick up some beer and didn't bother to red the lable. Got home opened it and it's an amber color looked at the table and it says calm before the storm, shit! I need a victory at sea. Oh well turns out that it's a light version of v@s, probably not as good though. Moral of the story READ the LABEL!

 

I bought what I thought was a great beer...turns out, it was just an above-average beer!

 

Drink it and look more closely next time.

 

With that grocery list, the beer is the least of your worries
