So many solid lines in this clip... The Lambic one and the quest for brown ales are my favourite... "The length of toast..."

As someone who speaks a certain amount of shit himself, THIS is funny.

I'm torn by which was my favourite, the "limited release... they only brewed one pint" or the "white stout". :lol:

"whoa, that's hideously infected... unless it's a lambic, in which case it's awesome"
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

That one was hilarious ... as were the others that were posted above.

What makes this video so funny is that it isn't far off from reality. :)

OK seriously - where was the hidden mic? :)

They could have added some crowd BG chatter sounds to make it seem more real, but yeah it's very well done. People are doing great stuff with the good, affordable digital cameras & video edit tools we've got now.

Other than "I can smell the Contract", I think my other favourite line is "length of toast".

My wife thought this was hilarious: "You've totally shoved glasses under my nose and yelled 'smell this!'"

I felt compelled to re watch his clip and I noticed something disturbing or at least incongruous...

Not enough beards!

or plaid shirts for that matter... :P

This type of ale does actually exist (as I'm sure you're aware), http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/durham-white-stout/161340/

And a rather tasty brew it is, too :)
