A friendly place for friends who drink

[allenH]

Its the same difference. Firemans owns oskar and Wasatch

My thoughts exactly, but for other people think it's dishonest because of the reporting

Skipping 3 days worth of posts. Did I miss anything?

Tahoe was great, snowboarding was excellent, ton of fun, except for the part about leaving. Short version - spent 10 hours getting from South Lake Tahoe to San Francisco.

Longer version - Got over 2 feet of snow on Sunday, chain controls in effect on the mountain pass road out of town. Bumper to bumper traffic getting out of South Lake Tahoe. Had to pull over to install the snow chains. One of the chains popped off the tire and almost punctured the tire wall (operator failure, but I'll blame a faulty snow chain. yea, faulty chain). Couldn't get it off at this point because the tire ran over the clasp. Flagged down a passing tow truck and borrowed some wire cutters to cut the POS chain off, then backtracked to a gas station and got another set of chains. This ended up being a 3 hour detour...Back on the road - Halfway over the mountain pass every warning light went off on the dashboard. Freaked out, but had to keep going on a one-lane road. This whole time, it's still snowing, and getting dark at this point. Eventually got over the mountain, where it's raining like crazy on the other side. Removed chains on the side of the road in the mud in a downpour and kept going. All dashboard warning lights still on, but the car kept moving. We left Tahoe at 1:30 pm, got into SF at 11:30 pm. Should have been a 3+ hour drive in good weather.

holy crap man, that's crazy. Wonder what happened there...maybe a bug in the fuses?

Think I'll brew a pale of some sort this weekend. My chico slurry has been dormant for a good 4 or 5mo I tihnk and I'm too lazy to starter, but brewing an ipa in a few weeks; so I'll just brew a generic pale and see wazzup. Debating on just going for quaffer or trying something intredasting. What should I experiment with, @m00ps ?

Try a massive hopstand with 6lbs of cane sugar. Ferment it with a couple saison yeasts and maybe we'll have a better alternative for gasoline

My bad, could pku and my notifications arent what they used to be

You haven't seen blade runner?

Is that the one you were in as the half-mortal half-immortal vampire slayer? Or something else? Either way, nah.. haven't seen anything by that name. Don't watch a lot of movies. I sit enough at work.

OT:

Don't get pulled over in Buffalo, jsyk... we take speeding very, very seriously...

What does rye add to an IPA or a pale ale? Thinking I should try something like that this weekend. Probably be brewing Sunday.

I like rye. Generally there's a spiciness that everyone agrees on. Compliments aggressive hops that have a bit of spice/herbal thing going on like chinook and columbus IME.

Its a bit different flaked vs wheat flavorwise. If im really trying to do a rye-centered beer, I'll use both. Both of them provide mouthfeel, which is good for IPAs to work with the dryness youd usually shoot for. Just dont go over 30% or so unless you want to do a special step mash to avoid getting a nyquil-like mouthfeel

Beautiful scenery on the way over the mountain tho

Highway 50 is beautiful in the snow when you are not stuck during avalanche control (always fun making a snow family along the highway). Coworker went to Reno and said 80 was really bad both directions.

The 2nd set of chains was slightly longer than the original one. The extra length on the inside of the tire was clicking against something in the wheel well during this time as well. I'm pretty sure it was wearing against some sensor(s) in the wheel well that caused everything to go wonky, since the various errors included the ABS sensor and a faulty tire pressure sensor error.

Crazy day. Still glad we didn't leave earlier though, because the snow was so great on Sunday morning.

We ended up getting a hotel room on Sunday night tho rather than staying with the friends we were going to visit. She's pregnant and didn't want to stress her out with a late night arrival. Plus we were both pretty tired/hungry/angry after that drive and had no interest in dealing with other humans by that point.

More coffee. Morning friendlies.

Yea, really gorgeous. Once we actually got past the chain control checkpoint, things actually started moving, but still slowly enough to enjoy the scenery.

Hey... I know that place.

 

[banesong]

Marks up early. One thing that sucks being sick, you need your rest but can't sleep. Atleast there is no rush to get home tomorrow.

Yup on the sleep. Passed out at 8:30 last night, got up finally at 8:30 this morning. Unfortunately, was up and down all night, probably slept 5 hours total. Grumble.

Kombucha, tea and water. Working, sort of, but still at home.

You just need a PA system for your house that you can call into.

 

[mattmmille]

Coffee and water.

Speaking of mmmbop badoopadop, didn't Hansen say they were starting their own craft brewery a year or two ago?

I have found my arch nemesis. I will not rest until his steak is toasted. If it comes down to it, can I rely on the friendly friends to ally with me?

Yeah. Called mmm hop or something. How lame. PKU @Hanson
