Looks at all the poor *******inos lugging slabs of megaswill out of the bottlo, and all you feel is pity for them for being ripped off for flavourless, hopless, tasteless, characterless, and bodyless beer.
 
Gets annoyed when he goes away for 1 weeks holiday without a computer and finds out that the list he put himself on for a Grain Bulk Buy is terminated and then re-created without himself on the list and finalised... :angry: Even though I have 65kg Base Malts still..... :D

Pumpy :ph34r:

Or maybe gets the sh!ts with Dan Murphy's limited selection......
 
A man who orders a pint, and immediately discover it is flat, when he raises this with staff is told:

"oh, it's an Ale, so its meant to be less carbonated than a lager".
And replies

"WTF has a bottom fermenting yeast strain, that works at lower temperature have to do with the level of carbonation expected for this particular style of beer"
 
Oh come on, as if it's possible to be too excited when drinking rochefort 10, be serious :p
 
According to SWMBO, me and everyone else on this site.
Cheers fellow, Beernerds!
p.s Just polished off a Lindemans Cuvee Rene tonight... Tart.
