I got an email update from MoreBeer on Speidel fermenters:

Raise your hand if your team leads a division containing Buffalo, NY Jets and Miami. Congrats, you're the tallest midget.

Great beer and my favorite name for a beer ever. I wonder how many young beer drinkers even know its a reference to the greatest thrash band of all time. I'm having a Sierra Nevada Narwhal which makes me respect Sierra Nevada again.

The Jets are so bad the Patriots could beat them (maybe only by 3, though). 5 turnovers, 14 penalties, can't get organized or do basic procedural stuff right, playing Tebow.... Rex Ryan should go get some f'ing snacks (and a new job).

Already preparing for a loss to Jacksonville next week?

I can't figure out who sucks more: the patriots or the 49ers. It's like watching two bad high school teams.

They have the "tuck rule" to make sure Brady can't ever fumble. They need the "suck rule" to call games to make sure Brady can't ever lose.

The patriots are being embarrassed at home during prime time. To be fair, it's raining. Dandy Boy Brady can't be expected to play well when he's having a bad hair day.

4 turnovers and 3 points. Definitely Super Bowl caliber.

My stir plate uses lucite too and looks very similar. I love it. How'd you cut that big a hole in the center? Hole saw? I worry that I'd crack the lucite with a big hole saw. It seems like a good idea to get the magnet closer to the stir bar. Let us know how well it works.

The market sets its price the way all markets do. Imagine yourself selling widgets for $1 and people are flocking to buy them that you can't make them fast enough. You'll quickly realize you should raise your price. When you raise it so high that you have widgets left over, you'll lower your...

Anyone have Sierra Nevada's Narwhal Imperial Stout? Really good.

I love the Pogues' "Fairytale of New York".

Apologies for straying off-topic. I've just seen one too many posts here talking about pricing of beer and the confusion/frustration around it. I was just trying to be helpful and correct the misunderstanding and got caught over-explaining and appearing argumentative. Let's have a beer and move...

You're correct, we're in the middle. The long-term is a theoretical end, it generally doesn't happen. When everyone jn the world thinks all beers taste the same that day will have come. That won't happen in any of our lifetimes. Even BMC couldn't make that happen.

They understand economics. That's why they have to charge market prices, not a price based on whatever ingredients they decide to put into it. My point is that people who don't understand economics are arguing that the price of beer is based solely on the cost of the ingredients. I was trying...

So a team that goes to the SB twice and wins both is better than a team that goes 100 times and wins 99? Makes no sense. Clearly, playing in the SB is better than not playing in it so the team with the most visits and then most wins is the best. That makes the Steelers the best team ever to be...

I thought it was because they never thought they'd have a quarterback so they could retire all common QB numbers. ;-)

True, but as economists like to say, in the long-term we're all dead. You are assuming we're already in the long-term but we're not. And the fact that beer is still a profitable business proves that. Profit is not fixed, some breweries are more profitable than others and not just because their...

They are trying to keep it at one rape per win this year.
