Funny thing about the lager I've had from China (Tsingtao), I think it's pretty good! and the bottles are very thick, I think they will last me a while
NickTheGreat said:I was in my LHBS on Saturday getting grains. They also have a nice beer selection. This complete *bro* walks in and says "I need your fanciest imported beer. I've got some customers in from out of state and they only like the best. They said IPA, do you carry their stuff here? I'm more of a liquor man . . . "
The employee was really cool and tried to teach him some things about beer
thatjonguy said:Probably. But stuff from China is imported (not necessarily beer) but I don't think I have ever said good things about that quality.
Not trying to start a debate, just mentioning I think it is comical.
Lol, not wishing to continue a debate, but at the price point I've never had a single issue with anything from China. They say "you get what you pay for", but sometimes I've got wayyyy more than I paid for with Chinese manufacture. Wish I could say the same for British and American goods, more often than not I'm left feeling I was ripped off.

Ha, There's so much economics in this thread that sometimes I think I've subscribed to fiduciarymatterstalk.com

not so much something I have heard but a regular occurrence. Here in PA if you order a lager, you get a Youngling. If you try to explain that lager covers half the beer world you get an array of odd looks and disbelief that bud is a lager.
have they ever looked at a Bud label? says it's a LAGER right there!
then again, some people are so stupid, they still wouldn't believe it

Yes, because brewing beer is a lot like making meth.
A pair of Gorden Biersch Winter Bocks at Dulles having lunch with the wife during our now three hour layover. Was originally supposed to be less than an hour. I could have done with maybe an extra hour to grab lunch, but this provides me with too much drinking time. I'm pretty sure they don't let overly drunk people on the plane, haha.

*waves back* Can you see me waving?
Now having a GB Marzen (sorry, can't figure out how to do an umlaut on my phone) to keep from getting too tipsy. Normally I don't think there is such a thing, but I've only narrowly avoided missing a flight before because I was quite tipsy and not paying attention.
So ... I let the first one go, but two 'what are you drinking posts' in the wrong thread? Nah....

WesleyS said:Hey, at least it was funny and involved beer. That's more than we can say about all the "well actually" derailments.

Dave37 said:Well actually, some of the derailments have been pretty funny.
WesleyS said:Yes but not "haha funny."
They're funny like, it's funny that I'd rather dig my eyes out and eat them than to read arguments about tipping, odds, and economics in this thread.

That you need 2 burners to do an all grain batch; worst part is that came from one of the workers at one of my LHBS I used to go to. :smack:
Bad advice but good salesmanship. He's just trying to sell you 2 burners instead of one, and maybe he's on commission. Can't fault him for trying, right?
WTF? For the difference in price between extract and all grain batches, you could pay for a cheap burner in 4-5 batches.Trox said:Except he said that as to why he only brews extract, and why doesn't want to move to all grain.
Enjoy the fact that she enjoyed your Octoberfest, and let it go."I don't drink" said an hour ago by my neighbors date who visited my house. Then she sampled the pale ale he was drinking and made a face. I passed her a Octoberfest which she was quick to kill. Hmmm... should I comment on how full of crap she is, or just that I am awesome and can find the proper beer for someone in my ilbeit limited selection?
It could be worse. I once derailed a thread for two days with an argument about the proper use of the word whom.

Whom for smart and important, who for casual.
