A friendly place for friends who drink

[1977Brewer]

On the coff. It was nice catching up with my sister last night. We never get to talk. She just moved back to town, we plan on seeing each other more.

That Cumbre Red I drank last night has me looking at a Red for my next brew. I like that malt profile a lot.

 

[m00ps]

I spent the entire weekend in a state of semi-to-complete insobriety watching curling. And we lost one hour Sunday thanks to daylight savings time. I'm feeling rough and tired as hell

Hooray coffee.

Congration. On the most Canadian sentence 3v4r

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

So uh.. you guys come here often?

Seeing your sig line for coming soon got me all like

@ijijikiji's posts just aren't the same without that debonair old toothless asian man grinning at me.

I saw him first. Back off dickwad

Where are all the friendly friends this morning? DST hangovers?

Currently drinking coffee by the gallon.

So if the bar thing works out will you be giving up the brown outfit or will the bar be an added gig?

One more French press. Tough to get motivated on such a dreary day.

Morning all. Add me to the list of daylight savings time haters. I stayed up too late and woke up too early. Yay.

You can have more any time. BTW, what percentage of winnings have you consumed so far?

Had poutine twice over the weekend.

And also Tim Hortons coffee.

And bought a two-four of beer.

Eh

Why hasn't poutine been more widely adopted by the US, anyway?

Fried food, check.
Cheese, check.
Gravy, check.

Toss some bacon on that sucker, and you're Murican as ****.

Don't know what you're talking about. We have poutine restaurants.

Then again.. Canada is pretty much just North Buffalo.

Losers use bacon. Real men use pulled pork.

... I also smoked a pork shoulder over the weekend.

Eh, 20%, maybe? Thirty sounds high but that's only like three beers a night since this mess started. I decided not to keep the empties. Don't need evidence.

Ftfy

 

[Rhetorik]

I'm a poutine purist 99.9% of the time. I don't like it when there's other **** on top. Poutine is fries (fresh cut, not McCain superfry garbage), cheese curds, and gravy. Nothing more, nothing less. The moment you start tossing stupid garbage on top it's no longer poutine; it's fries with toppings.

There are occasional exceptions to the rule (see: Pulled Pork, above), such as a lobster and bacon gravy poutine I had over the summer

Your assessment of Hop Eating Grin was pretty accurate. I thought it had more of a hop bite then Hopslam, and the wildflower honey kicked it back for a pretty sweet finish. 4.25, would drink again. Probably the last can tonight, as a matter of fact lol

Boy, don't you have an answer to everything this morning!

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Wow. Cigar City sold - at least it wasn't to BMC.

Poutine would not be my first choice however those changes would make me more likely to buy it.

Firkin time change needs to be abolished and burned at the stake.

Not sure if that's a dig against Canada, or Buffalo.



Yes.

Is this one real? This rumor has happened a few times.

Glad you liked it. Now that it is in cans, I will likely consume more than I did before, if that is possible...

Did you crack into a Helluva Caucasian yet?

The deal also gives Cigar City access to Fireman’s financial resources as well as potential brewing capacity at Oskar Blues’ facilities in Longmont, Colo., Brevard, N.C. and a third, yet to open brewery in Austin, Texas.

That makes some of these deals worth it if you can expand capacity without having to invest in a new facility.

not positive - haven't seen the news elsewhere yet. but the details align with the old rumors so if it is fake, they at least did their homework.

Its seemingly becoming somewhat of standard practice to band together with the larger/mid-size operations. Apparently it helps them with purchasing and ingredients since they are buying as one group. it also makes it a tad bit harder for InBEV to try to buy them out.

I actually hope so. If it gets them to TX without AB involved, it's a good thing.
