Questions from non-HBers that p*ss you off

[Chris]

There are some questions that keep coming up when I offer non-homebrewers some of my beer. I am getting pretty sick of some of them!

The biggest culprit is:

How strong (alcohol-wise) is this?

That question drives me nuts!

Anyone else got any?

[earle]

They seem to equate strength of taste (that it actually has some) with strength of alcohol. Just reinforces how little they know about beer.

[Old Gil]

I usually get, Is it any good? Would I be f**king drinkin it if it wasn't

[Boonie]

Yeah, I always get

"What's this one like"

Well, drink the bloody thing and make up your own mind !!

[Kevnlis]

I hate the "I have heard it gives you bad hangovers". I try to explain that in reality the opposite is true...

I also always get asked how much alcohol is in it as well, though that one does not really bother me.

Sorry to blow my own trumpet, but if you go to this thread and open the link and have a look at the last page there's a mythbusting section.

These are the questions that I find annoying/strange from non-homebrewers.

Cheers,

That's what promted me to start this thread Oliver. It gave me a moment of clarity in the otherwise meaningless swirl of non-HB frustration.
