So I Bought The WRONG Beer!

I blame all the Sam Addams ads on tv. They barage the tube, totally get spacing and grabbing it instead

 

i did this with flying dog raging bitch, i purchased flying dog snake dog instead they look almost the same and from same brewery

 

Way too OCD for this to happen.

 

I accidenty bought a 6 pack of Free State Ad Astra instead of Dirty Kanza Kolsch on accident once, but I was distracted by the store manager laughing when he informed me that he sold the beer that they were holding for me. I drove 75 miles to get there too, but that Ad Astra tasted great when I got home. Even if the store was next door I wouldn't ever return a beer, that's my fault.

 

I have always grabbed the beer I wanted to grab......Turns out that many times it is the wrong beer to grab......

Enjoy

 

I meant to buy Ska's Pinstripe Red Ale and came away with their ESB. Still a fine beer.

 

Can't say I've ever done this as I am OCD about beer buying as well as another BA above stated.

However, once, when I was a wee lad of 15 years, I had gone over to a friends house as he had a connection that had scored us a 6-pack of Corona. He breaks out the bag, we're all excited, and out comes a sixer of something called "Coronita". Little itty bitty 6oz bottles of pisswater goodness. We were aghast at the sight of this, but also laughed our asses off at the concept and quickly downed our wee little beers.

 

I've done it with beer, & other things (sour cream isn't yogurt. ), while talking to someone. A lot of my job involves pattern recognition, of tiny details, so I should notice , but don't always. Awhile ago, I grabbed 2 FW Wookie Jack, instead of 1 WJ & 1 Double Jack. Not a bad mistake, but I was looking forward to the Double Jack. (Even older pic below.) At the time, there was a bigger rack, closer, & the FW was on the bottom shelf. It wasn't really my fault .(for flakin' out). ))

 

DOA

 

Not a very interesting story, but I meant to grab the Westmalle Tripel and Westmalle Dubbel (which for some reason I've not yet tried, despite being a huge fan of Belgian beer), and accidentally went home with the La Trappe Tripel and Dubbel. Kind of disappointed, because the liquor store that I got it from is the closest one to me that carries Westmalle and it's 35 minutes out, and I heard Westmalle is much better and I was really looking forward to trying it.

 

Bought wrong beer? Just drink it from wrong glassware at wrong temperature (teacup and boiling beer fit the situation good).
