    Wtf Nhl!!!!

    The problem is, both Fehr and Bettman have massive egos. The bulk of both players and owners want to play. They understand that this is not just a short term loss, but hurting the leagues image. Unfortunately, neither Fehr or Bettman can get over themselves, and you have the Jeremy Jacobs (I'm a...

    I travel through TD Garden every day to and from work....if it wasn't bad enough without my Bruins, I have to walk by all the celtics stuff in the Bruins Pro Shop....ouch....

    I'm a dumb@ss...

    Well, the beer tasted pretty weird. Definitely got a nice lacto culture, but without a boil, and thus, hops, it's pretty freaky tasting. My brew partners SWMBO liked it tho, so onwards with conditioning. I'm guessing that if I'd have boiled it to stop the lacto and pitched brett, it'd be a solid...

    5 Day Sweet Country Cider

    Did a gallon of this to try it out. Cold crashed, racked to bottles, straight to the fridge (I like it still). No bottle bombs. Just tasty semi sweet session cider. Will do again!

    So what exactly is your glassware of choice?

    I usually roll with a wide tulip or snifter, but I'm growing a rather large collection of all shapes and sizes. I usually grab at least one new one a week at work (wine/beer shop)! Draak tulip tonight lol.

    Budweiser project 12

    As someone who find equal pleasure in a Backwoods Bastard as I do in a can of Gansett (all about the right beer for the right time) I will give these a shot. They seem to be geared toward folks like myself who enjoy both sides of the so called beer wars, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that...

    Does it amaze you at how many breweries are terrible at making beer?

    Love the porter. The bombers they release (brewers series or something like that) are usually awesome. Our sales rep told me that it's basically the "let the brewer make 15bbl of whatever he feels like this month" beer. Most recently a smoked black lager, which was really quite good!

    Does it amaze you at how many breweries are terrible at making beer?

    As someone who grew up with The Tap/Haverhill Brewing in my back yard, I've noticed something else on these lines. The tap brews great beer. There's always something crazy or new or fun on tap. BUT, they bottle the most consumer friendly beers, few of which I, or most other beer people I know...

    I'm a dumb@ss...

    Unfortunately, I just got home. Was posting from a bus before. It's all fermenting violently (the wee heavy is blowing off so much gas, the blowoff bucket looks like its boiling!) I was thinking it may be a nice oud bruin. May blend in a little brown just to balance it out

    I'm a dumb@ss...

    Awesome! I wasn't sure if any harmful pathogens would grow in unboiled beer. I know they don't in boiled wort... Also, naturally, not boiling means no hopping. I'm gonna do a little extract brown to blend into, so we'll see!

    I'm a dumb@ss...

    But, will it be safe to drink?? I thought that, besides driving out off flavors, boiling was key to sanitation also

    I'm a dumb@ss...

    So, my friend and I brewed a big wee heavy yesterday, and ended up with a few gallons of liquid left in the mash tun. So, I decided to let it sour, which it did, and see what it came out as. Now, here's the dumb@ss part of the story. I ran to the LHBS to grab a few 1gal carboys and some yeast...

    Me and PBR

    I truly love me some well crafted beers, but on my wages, I drink cheap day to day beer most times. Ad for me, that beer will always be Narragansett. It almost tastes like real beer. There is even the faintest taste of hops in there! :-)

    Boycott stores on Thanksgiving day.

    So much anger in a thread about thanksgiving. It's upsetting. This will happen every year, and arguing and such in this thread doesn't change a thing. ...Relax, don't worry.....

    Battle over the "strange" name

    Agreed. Whether or not they have the right to peruse this in court doesn't make them look any better. I, for one, found the post from the HBS to be condescending and childish. He mentioned the brewery posting rants on social media which is essentially what they are doing here. Also, with a...

    Large format bottles
