I love seeing Super Club Seattle fall on their face. Time for Sigi to hang up the managing boots. I've never been a fan of his from his days managing LA. And I couldn't be happier to see the typical late season move LA is making. They seem to have things figured out and know how to play with...

Is it just me or is Big Sam such a typical English hire? His Wikipedia entry is an impressive collection of nothingness. I'm actually happy though because it's awesome to watch the English expect to win everything and consistently fail.

Everything I've read and heard says the first part of the mash is the most important and that's when most if not nearly all the conversion happens. But it comes down to personal preference and your comfort with coloring outside the lines.

We're planning to rent a car once we leave Paris and drive around France and Belgium. We'll ditch the car in eastern France and take the train to Munich.

Just keep in mind CA is a big darn state to travel around. Many of the suggestions in this thread while worthy are many many hours away by car. Factor in the crap traffic and you'd spend all day in the car for one brewery.

Thanks for the info everyone. I've looked into making reservations at some of the tents and they won't even let you make one unless you have at least 10 people. We're going on a Monday and there will be four of us so I guess it will just be find some new friends and squeeze in huh? We're...

But I think you're actually agreeing with me. Liverpool and Tottenham are hardly elite clubs in Europe. We'll see next year in Champions League when Spurs gets murdered. Contrast that to Juve, Bayern or the Spanish clubs. There's such a hype about English players because of the media and...

So for my 40th birthday, I'm heading to Europe for two weeks in late September. We're going to start in Paris, make our way to Germany and eventually end up in Venice, Italy. This is a major liver damage trip. We've got hotel reservations already in Munich and will be going to Oktoberfest on...

I'm a no circ, no sparge, and usually no chill BIAB brewer. My mash stays pretty consistent for the first 15 minutes so that's all I'm worried about. Will I win awards? Probably not. Do I create 5 gallons of pretty tasty beer for cheap? You bet.

Go to the Rare Barrel, Drakes, Faction. Those are all East Bay. Hit 21st Amendment in SF.

Taylor Twellman had a great tweet this morning about England - great marketing of the BPL brings about false expectations for the National team. Look at that roster. Not much top talent if any compared to other nations and probably too many guys who think they are far better because of the media...

I don't think stability at the international level is important. The teams are together for such a relatively short period and the players can constantly change. I honestly think it can sometimes make the team stale. Some players never get a look for whatever reason and you never know what gem...

Dan what shop are you referring to?

I pressed our league admin on why the season is 8 weeks long in both the fall and spring. Her response is that it is mandated by Colorado Youth Soccer. I did some quick math for her and said you realize my kids are allowed to practice officially for about 30% of the year. Do you think that's...

We will never be a world power so long as the pay to play youth system is king. My son will be 8 in November. He has played rec soccer in our hometown Castle Rock, CO. He started in the town program at $65 per season. Reasonable fee to pay for field usage, uniform and some minor...

I'm all for that! Need anything from the lovely state of Colorado?

It is Crooked Stave Thad distributing this. I need to find a good shop now that'll be selling it. The closest spot to me had Two Hearted on "allocation" as they call it during GABF last year for $10 per can! F that. Thanks for the recommendations.

From the first whistle Mexico never had a chance. Looked like a bunch of amateurs out there.

Great night tonight watching Mexico get murdered. I just don't see the love for that team and the talking heads thinking they'd win the Copa. Decent players but a huge step down in class from the CONMEBOL sides.

I saw a release that Bells is sending s bunch of beer to Colorado here soon. Beyond Two Hearted, what would you recommended?
