A friendly place for friends who drink

Morning.

Question: SWMBO and I are leaving on a cruise this weekend and flying into Ft. Lauderdale a day early. We're already planning a stop at Funky Buddha...are there any other notable breweries or beer bars in the area?

 

Cue Duffman with the Disney suggestions.

 

Funky Buddha ftw

Where you cruising to?

 

nah, too far. If anything I'd say take the drive to Cigar City, but it all really depends on time constraints

 

Although...its only a 3 and a half hour drive, it could totally be done

 

The Bahamas, Grand Turk and somewhere in the Dominican Republic...Amber Cove, I think. I've never been to any of them before.

We're really only in Ft. Lauderdale for Saturday afternoon/night, so we won't have a whole lot of time to kill. CCB is probably a bit too far away to drive, but I'll definitely try to find some places that have it on tap.

 

**** the hyped up breweries. Go where the locals go.

 

Nice man, have a good time. Its been a long while since I last was on a cruise. The vessels they are coming out with now are just monstrous and somewhat overwhelming. It was easy to get somewhat lost on the cabin levels when you were a bit tipsy...add a few more levels and triple the length of the ship and its just going to get messy

 

j wakefield brewing.

 

**** cruises... that's like, the worst thing I can imagine.

But that's just my opinion.

 

The engineers are playing russian roulette with gross jellybeans. I hope they ask me so I can just straight-faced, eat some dirty socks, vomit and toothpaste jellybeans and ask for more. As long as I can get past all the sugar, the flavors don't matter.

 

Having just got back from one... I can say that I could never do it again and not feel like I'm missing anything.

It wasn't awful like I'd anticipated, but I could certainly think of better ways to spend a week and several thousand dollars.

 

That was a ditry VHS case. There's a difference. If the actual tape rolls were exposed it would've made you beer the pride of the rock

 

Ugh. Throw in god knows how many people you're stuck on that floating coffin with and yeah. That's my Hell.

 

Pretty much. I likes my freedom. Don't stick me on a floating germ factory and tell me when I can eat. Nope.

 

Wrong. He doesn't have time to suffer you between his nanosecond epic efficiency brew days

 

I completely forgot about them. Would be great to visit there

 

Mornin'. Coffee.

Lucky me, today feels like Thursday, since Friday (and next Monday!) are stat holidays.

 

Thanks, it should be fun. We've been on a couple cruises together. SWMBO's family did that as their family vacations for a long time, so she's been on a bunch and loves them. I'm a little more on the fence: I like how the food, lodging, etc. are all included, but it kinda sucks if you find a port you really love and want to stick around longer, you're still stuck to the ship's schedule if you don't want to get left behind. I also start to get antsy wandering around the ship around the 5th day.

At any rate, it's a week away from work, which I really need right now.

 

I think I might have gotten one of their beers in a trade last year. I'll check it out.

 

Ha... your avatar.

Also, flocc off. These damn heathens won't let me have this most religious of holidays off. I should be afforded the time to worship the Easter bunny however I see fit.

 

Wait... are you saying you don't get Good Friday off? Come on now... also that reminds me of this amazing page I found this morning.


10 Medieval Rabbits That Hate Easter and Want to Kill You



Finally found my spirit animal, it would seem.

 

Cracked had a good article on those illustrations once. Before they went crazy clickbait style, that is.

 

This is all that matters, really. Time away from work, spending the time with the people you would rather be spending it with.

 

Found your spirit muppets:

 

Officially working from home. Drinking decent coffee during the week, woo hoo!

Ready for spring.

You can borrow my Harpy Ester™ name for your hoppy blonde if you want. But gotta send me one.

 

I'm looking forward to 4 days of being off work. I've earned it.

And yeah, it still has the googly eyes... wanna fight about it?

 

@Psylocide

There, updated it just for you. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?!

 

Hahaha yes that was incredible!

 

Everything is coming up Millhouse!

 

Gotcha. Yeah that's extreme weather up there. Here's a photo of where you were vs where I was. Everything above about where the word Sweden lays is about what people think of when they think of Norwegian weather. Everything below that is pretty temperate for the most part, unless you're high up in the mountains.

FTFY

 

OT

 

Mroing

 

They are good and worth a stop. Funky Buddha is just so much farther along than most in Ft Laud, there's not a whole lot.

 

All day.

 

I want an all day ipa. Funking bored dude.
Nothing going on at work.
Nothing going on at fpffwd.
Thinking about making my own label thread to help people out. The one I tried to help on is so many people that want fancy logo's.

 

One great thing about this country formally having a state church: Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday I make 233% my already ~$21/hr! Earning all that extra to go blow it on beer in Prague next weekend!
