Costco beer tastes “like urine” — 17 Comments

  1. Over the past ten years I might had had about six ‘LITE’ beers of all kinds, I always thought those were a ‘piss’ poor way to ingest alcohol. I lived in Germany for three years, years ago, and the beer man would leave a case of beer on my door step every two weeks just as the world intended us to drink real beer. Those Krauts knew how to brew real beer which was kind of a food item.

    From time to time I still buy a six pack of Belgium or German beer to eat with Brätwurst and other old world good food. The silly lite beers not matter who makes them is a real stupid way to drink a lot of water with a nice Scotch & water to Gin & Tonic or glass or any decent wine would be pleasant or else drink a real beer with some taste and body. Otherwise why not get a shot of the cheapest vodka and a glass of water with some ice and call it a lite beer.

  2. The dad of a HS friend was a urologist. He told us that urine was clean enough to drink. We never tried. Even when we were drunk.

  3. Yeah, Cornhead, but are you sure the Doc hadn’t been imbibing too much of the real thing? LOL

    PS. The only thing vodka is good for is washing your feet. That’s why it tastes like rubbing alcohol, only worse. Oh, I suppose you could pour it on snakebite…in a pinch. *nasty grin*

  4. Julie, are you looking for a friend? I’ m simple guy. Which probably rules me out from the start.

  5. On the lite beers vs. stronger beers debate, it should be noted that the location in which they are drunk make a big difference. In the tropics, one wants a beer lite enough to be drunk ice-cold and in quantity.

  6. Sarah Rolph:

    We’re on this topic because: (a) it struck me as an odd assertion (b) it’s a break from politics.

  7. Ayatullah Khomeini (RIP) an Islamic jurist (Mojtahead) in his own right guides us in his book “rules to live by” (tozih al masa’al) How to Tell If a Measure of Water is Potable:
    1- Look!.Visible excrements float in water?.If no…
    2- Smell!. No detectable maloder emanates from the water?.If non…
    3-Sip!. Take a swig.Does it taste like urine?. If no…
    4-The water is potable per Islamic Shari’a.Enjoy.Allah knows best.
    p.s. if you like your head remain glued to your neck don’t ask stupid question like how the hell do I know what urine tastes like?

  8. Q: How did we get on this topic and how did this comment thread go so so bad?

    A: “We” are “deplorables” after all.

    Replied Tanto: “Who is this “we” you speak of, white man?”

  9. “[Insert beer name here] tastes like piss!”

    Yeah, you hear that a lot from beer snobs everywhere. And Neo, my answer is just like yours: “…how would you know?”

    I am not a beer snob. I have tasted nearly every domestic beer and I like some and don’t like others. I have also tasted German, & Belgian beer in their native habitats. Some are really good and some are, well, okay. And I have even had a beer served while I was a guest onboard a Royal Navy ship. (It was okay, but it was served warm – room temperature – which is not my preference.) But the best beer is the one you, personally, like, regardless of its brand or its origin.

    For me, the best beer I ever had I don’t even remember the name. But I drank it with my father-in-law on a hot summer day right after helping him fix his roof.

  10. “But my question is: how would they know?”

    Odor, may be a good part of it: Like a urinal without a deodorant cake.

    Although I know what it smells like when a herd of elk has recently vacated a ridge top, I am am not sure I know what bear urine smells like. But I would bet that that wretched, musky, acrid barnyard taint smell you sometimes come across in the woods, is like it.

    And so, I would not hesitate to say that the specialty bottle of white whiskey my brother bought me recently, and aptly enough named Bear Wallow (or the like), the scent of which was enough to make one retch, also tasted bad enough to be called the urine of a diseased old boar.

    Neither one of us could stand the smell. And the taste was like putrid water laced with a little anise oil.
