So jealous that you got an actually carbed Four Monks. The flat version was outstanding.
So. Jealous.
Hope my extremely scientific jellybean calculation pays off.

bring it. We can hang out front of Edgar Allen Poe's house, drinking on his stoop out of some bags and stuff. That will be a good story to tell

A guy on a FB group I belong to. He's a chef who started doing sauces on the side - he's got a smoked peach hot sauce coming that sounds awesome. If you like it you can shop for more:

I'm hopeful for you too. It's been a while since you won anything.
It's been a rough patch. I'm sure I'll get through somehow.

If I wasn't the only person in my household who can eat this sort of thing, I'd go all in.

<----- This guy. Well, half a day off. There is no separation of church and state in KY.
The winter/spring is the worst stretch for me - no work holidays between New Years Day and Memorial Day. Just checked my available PTO hours - I'm at 270 hours right now.

Been here since Summer 2014 noob.
It's just...you brew such great beer. Psy too, floccer started here a month before me. CAD is an unknown entity. jak's been here six damn years. I bet his beers make angels sing while you pour them.
I dunno, I know this place made me a better brewer basically over the course of a weekend reading the beginner's forum. YMMV and such.

Holy hell.. I get like, maybe half that despite promises of grandiose advancement upon accepting the job two years ago. You make me hate life more. Shame on you. How do you even let it stay that high? I've already taken a day or two off just because..
I use a rope tube & acquarium heater setup to warm my saisons. I have had repeated dreams that they turned upside down during the night and mixed all into the dirty dusty ass water in the tub. Of course SWMBO is all into dream interpretation so dont feel like mentioning it to her

120 hours vacation, and I'm on call 24/7 so I don't get docked time off ever. Boss man just kinda slides it into my review that I missed too much work...so I ask him if he logged it. Well...no. Then how on earth can you prove it? I work 2-3 80 + hours every year, sometimes more. I have an emergency call to the office a month usually, taking up 4-6 hours, depending. There's no way I burn 140 comp hours out of the office, and if I do miss for a sick kid or a sick Clint, I work from home a lot anyway. That put that nonsense to bed.

Maybe naming them Roflshelfturd Nugget APA and Fail Ale and such is adding to the perception.

Class of '14 has some good friendly friends, but I like the Class of '12 crew - @BeerMeDuffMan , @mcbaumannerb , @BGBC , among others
I get 27 days a year (216 hours, and that includes vacation/sick/any personal time really), and 8 holidays + 1 floating holiday. I can carry over 240 hours a year and when I leave that balance gets paid out (can't cash any in for $$ while I'm here, wish I could sometimes)
Been here 8 years. That balance slowly built up over time, now I just make sure I don't lose any hours. I've hit that 240 cutoff pretty much spot on the last couple of years.

I bet I'll like it, as I like beer. I've had exactly one homebrewed beer that was tough to drink in all of this, and it was probably my fault. Not naming names beyond that. Friendly friends PM bad reviews.

'12....has it been that long?
I think my first brew was like 6 months after signing up here. I spent months and months reviewing techniques and what not before I went in and tried my hand at an oaked arrogant bastard clone. I failed, miserably, but learned a bunch. That beer tasted like somebody took some oak flooring to a juicer...so much oak

Hate you. Only one I named fail ale was the one that didn't carbonate. Accept that it failed. Still have a case of it I just cook with.

If you PM me a bad review, I'll post it for the world to see.
Top candidate is that rice wine - I know @ChefRex and others like the stuff, but I never really enjoyed it much. The one I sent you is pushing 2 years old, maybe it's smoothed out since then.

I joined before I brewed, jumped the gun on a gallon batch of Moose Drool clone, bottled early, conditioned for a week. I made apple beer. It was so bad. The last of those 9 bottles of beer was drinkable. Naturally, I decided I could just wing it BIAB style and went all grain from there. First batch was a partigyle IPA/Blonde with recipes I made up in the store on Brewer's Friend. Both turned out really good...and now I'm letting saisons ride in infected carboys until a pellicle forms and bottling them anyway.
I haven't gotten better at this.

The Poop Bag Guy
I had a beer dream a few days ago. I forgot to pass it on until now...
I was at an Oktoberfest-type event with SWMBO and our families. My mom brought me a big mug and said, "try this...they said it was a 'dop-pel-bock' or something like that? They said it's strong."
As she was handing it to me, the mug sloshed and spilled a bit. There was this overly-perky worker guy (think like the waiter in Office Space) who saw it happen and told me, "uh oh, you know the rules...you spill and you have to chug your beer!" So I shrug and throw down this 1/2 liter of doppelbock, while my wife smirks and shakes her head and my mom stares at me with this wide-eyed "how do you know how to do that?" look.
The amusing part was how completely plausible the entire thing felt. Usually my dreams have weird surreal aspects that make me realize that I'm dreaming as it happens.

I joined when I decided to give brewing one last shot. The increasingly absent @hello actually helped me out a lot with my first beer back. So. You all have her to blame for me sticking around.
Damn. First response from Sir Untaggable I get in this thread and it's because I needed to be chided. Oh well, gotta start somewhere I guess.
