Okay, I live with my dad courtesy of my ex wife taking most of my money. Been there for a year, finally got a payment reduction and will be moving out next week
Now, I brewed a SN PA clone about a month ago, let it sit in the primary for three weeks and just bottled it last Tuesday. Thursday I'm home for lunch and my dear ol' dad proceeds to tell me that he tried one of my new beers. I asked confused "what new beer? Certainly not of the ones I just bottled!?!" He says, "yeah"
Me: I just bottled it two days ago
Him: It tasted pretty good
Me: It couldn't have tasted good, it isn't done yet! I can't believe you would crack open one of my beers without me
Him: Well I needed a beer, it tasted like those Sierra Nevada's you bring home.
Me: There's a few things in life you just don't do. One of them is try another man's freshly bottled beer without the brewer himself. Especially since it's a beer that I haven't brewed before!
Then he proceeded to change the subject, which I was fine with, no sense in staying upset. I'm glad he likes to try my beer......but DAMNIT, you don't get to be the first one to try it, especially when your effort wasn't involved in the birth of the brew.
