"Eww I can taste the hops."
Wahhhhh! Cry more sissy boy.
Isn't that the point

Well my first exposure to homebrew were my parents' failed attempts at making beer when I was a kid, looking back they made so many mistakes, open fermentation, stirring the wort during the fermentation process, bottling by basically pouring the beer into the bottle with a funnel. It's no wonder their homebrew tasted like crap.
So when my brother in law got into brewing and brought a 6 pack of various beers over for me to try I was a bit worried, so when he popped open that first nut brown ale and poured me a glass, I think my first response was along the lines of "hey this tastes pretty good" meaning "hey this tastes like beer is supposed to".
Now, several years later, I can say that some of the best beer I've had has been homebrewed beer. Heck the tripel I'm drinking right now is hands down one of the best beers I've ever had.

Shoes do have good yeast....

Freshly 21 y/o lightweight girl grabs a glass, pulls a full pint of Skeeter Pee off the tap. Takes a first sip, mouth puckers, eyes squint... proclaims "wow, is this 80 proof?" Finishes the rest of the pint in under 5 minutes. Had to watch her like a hawk the rest of the night to keep the drunk boys at bay and guard the sanctity of my guest bedroom.
Handed a Texan a Two-Hearted clone:
Tex: "Eh... it's good, but I wish it had more... flavor."
Me: "Such as...?"
Tex: "Shiner Bock."
Me: *blank stare*
Wife had a going-away with like 8 people over from work. Freshly 21 y/o lightweight girl grabs a glass, pulls a full pint of Skeeter Pee off the tap.

Sort of reminds me of a drink my older brother used to serve in his back yard, while BBQ'ing or just hanging out. He used a blender to combine orange juice, vanilla ice cream and vodka. It tasted like an innocent orange milkshake, and went down smoothly on a hot summer day.1. I don’t call this “hard lemonade” because too many people have tried the commercial versions and they tend to make a mental impression of what it’s going to taste like before trying it. When it doesn’t taste just like the commercial versions (which are usually 5% alcohol, lemon flavored malt beverages) they conclude that it’s a poor reproduction.
This stuff isn’t a reproduction; it’s the original home-style without the big marketing budget and price tag. Please be advised that you need to keep an eye on those you serve this to. Because it drinks easily on a hot day and the alcohol is about double that of commercial hard lemonades and beer, it is easy to accidentally over consume; it sneaks up on you real fast.

I was at the office Christmas party and a good buddy from the south was able to score some authentic backwoods Tennessee moonshine. Needless to say I'm still pretty ****ed up.
SWMBO said my honey porter tasted like dirty pond water. You cut me deep, babe. Next time ill use dirty pond water and give her an excuse to say it.
The place i was at was a company xmas party at navy pier in chicago. I think it was like an all inclusive catered bar package. You know, "For this price we offer these liquors and beers" but its chicago! Goose island, two brothers, three floyds, five rabbit, revolution, anything! The list goes on. Anyway, sorry for getting off topic
I just get tired of being considered a beer snob because i want to enjoy a good beer. Is it wrong to ask for a tap list cuz the waitress 9 times out of 10 doenst even know what the bar is serving at a restaurant? Is it wrong to want at least one decent beer at a massive company party? All that was there was BMC and Heineken. Heineken tastes like a dead skunks rotten butthole. SWMBO just calls me a beer snob and says not everyone likes the kind of beer i do. True, but not everyone enjoys BMC either. I guarantee if they put something out there, a large portion of the group will drink it. Hell, ill even take SA boston lager. Rise up against the BMC oppression!

on the other hand, guys who do not drink dark beer just crack me up. I brew some pretty light beers that are dark in color just to mess with them.
The first time I drank a couple, I had no idea at all I was wasted until I tried to get up out of my lawn chair....

I love seeing their expressions when I give them a sample of Schwartz or a Black IPA.
[...]I am telling you right now, the stuff taste like coors light, has a ABV or about 3% and if I used less hops it would be hard to shave that pellet any thinner.
but, then...........
