Don't get all pissy now...

I always thought Booths was a Pharmacy, after I figured out that a Chemist was a Pharmacist.

Boots is the pharmacy, Booths is a food and wine retailer.

No I'm fine after I've had my flat white.
I wait till evening if I'm going to get pissed.

I remember in the 90's, 'micro-brews' suddenly getting popular and expanding capacity and it's always seemed to me that there's some kind of threshold for vessel size, after which beer loses it's detail and definition and begins to taste generic.
Rickards Red for example, tasted great to me in the 80's, but now it screams "BMC' to me....that's only one.
Never been a fan of Labatts and wondering why this crap is still expanding while Good smaller breweries are failing in a time when I had hope that the demographic that enjoy's Good Beer has so wonderfully grown would finally help kill off a lowest common denominator on the corporate check-list.

I know my tastes change over the years, even for beers I have made.

My tastes change too, but apart from that I've had beers that seem to lose something when the brewery moves to larger vats...I remember it happening to a few micro-brews that got popular in the 90's.... not all, but some of them seemed to lose their detail when they got popular and had to boost production. Was wondering if that was just me.

Blakeslee didn’t claim to have any sort of mental illness, and denied that his hobby was related to a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder he received after serving in Vietnam. But, he said, “there has to be something going on that’s related to some of the things I went through in early life.”

Or he's just an a-hole...

Thats where the term "the can" comes from?

I'll need help with this one, @smurfjuicebrew , @Dland , @day_trippr
I can't figure out the Masstoberfest humorous tie in.

Ah, I get it now. Must be folks who are used to here on HBT and they're posting somewhere else now....
"The three reports of the fake goats were submitted last month to Boston 311, a service to report problems like overflowing trash, graffiti, or damaged street signs to the city. In the searchable 311 database, one Bostonian appears to be trolling city workers with images of goats in the “rodent activity” category."

I can’t remember what it was that boosted memory. Was it eating Wallabies?

Too bad most wasabi is actually horseradish. On the bright side, maybe horseradish works too because I learned this many years ago.

 

[day_trippr]

^That^ is totally true, one has to dig into the ingredients list to discriminate between the blends (and outright dyed 100% horseradish!) and actual wasabi root paste...

Cheers!
