Your craft beer sacrilege

I've drank many a beer from hotel tumblers after opening it on the doorframe of the adjoining room. For some reason I finally got a bottle open for my keychain last week.

 

I regularly forget to take bottles of hop hunter out of the freezer overnight. Take them out in the morning while cursing myself and let thaw telling myself it'll be fine and it never is. Doh!

 

That definitely not sacrilege man

 

This is pretty entertaining for sure. First off, I drink most of my beers out of a pint glass, and like it. I always keep a good amount of PBR or Highlife in my fridge for two reasons: 1) I can drink a staggering amount of beer in 3-4 hours. When said beers are 6+ %-ers I get too drunk, so I enjoy a few quality home-brews or such then switch to the water. 2) I hate sharing my craft stash or home-brews with people that don't care or appreciate it.

 

I do this all the time. Notable drainpours include Green Flash Palate Wrecker and Maine Beer Co. Lunch. I've drainpoured plenty of non-IPAs as well, but hoppy beers tend to suck with the most frequency. I probably would have drainpoured Pliny the Elder every time I've ordered it, if it had been possible to do so.

 

Once several years ago, I was at a local-ish craft beer bar called The Verdugo. There was an especially limited keg that was supposed to be tapped, but nothing that was on had blown yet. Someone in management decided that it was time to take matters into their own hands. They checked kegs and found that Pliny the Elder was the closest to kicking, so they poured the remainder in the keg into plastic cups and set up a beer pong game with it.

Let that sink in for a minute: we played beer pong with Pliny the Elder in order to get a different beer keg online.

 

Saw someone chug it in under 10 seconds, does that count?

 

This is all I have to say about this thread!






I wash my beer glasses with regular old dish washing liquid.

 

I've enjoyed some expensive ales on the T before. Is that sacrilege or just extreme advocacy?

 

I have exactly two types of glasses for beer - shaker pints and snifters. And I use one just as frequently as the other.

 

These things dont sound bad at all, you sound like a guy I want to party with!

 

Check out the "beer pet peeves" thread. Personally, I'd rather have something specific to style when getting beer at a bar/brewpub, but my care level is very low on that one.

 

I once drank a Double Sunshine directly from the bottle, and dam it I would do it again.

 

Lagunitas is big with the mason jar, but I'm also not a fan. I think you may enjoy this: http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/were-going-to-enjoy-this-cocaine-fueled-mason-jar--36779

 

I like the taste of Belgian yeast sediment and sometimes I'll deliberately swirl it into the glass to drink it. I'm a monster. I know.

 

When I made my first trip to Vermont and picked up a bunch of Heady and Second Fiddle, I just let it sit in the car on the drive back to Boston... didn't keep it cold or nothin'. I also went on that trip and didn't track down any Hill or Lawson's. Seems like a waste in hindsight.

Still tasted amazing.

 

I mix Zombie Dust or pseudo Sue with Cider while on the rocks- a lot. It fuckin rules.

 

Ooh... I may have to try that.

 

I got drunk at a Halloween party a couple years ago and ended up playing beer pong with a RR Consecration and a bomber of 09' Bourbon County Stout. Didn't even remember doing it until I saw a pic i took of myself carrying the empty bottles home at 5 in the morning

Once drank a notable stout out of a Styrofoam hotel cup. My wife also buys pumpkin beers and puts brown sugar and cinnamon on the rim of the pint glass. I used to enjoy this but can't stomach pumpkin beers any longer.
