You're not black like Barry White no you are white like Frank Black is.

Always comes back around to the Pixies somehow...

I'm in the GnR fan club too. If I could go back in time a GnR/Metallica tour location would be one of my stops.

A great beer poster risks his god-like reputation to stand up for what he believes in.

They have that one song at the end of Fight Club, right?

Find it. Let's beat this dead horse.

Thought that's what this thread was all about

"Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.

It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.

Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).

You can’t define what “that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That’s because you don’t use “hipster” to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.

The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” - so you project those feelings.

Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.

****, maybe I'd rather hear about steroids after all...

Anyone want to talk about trade value?

I've gotta have some values. IF you don't like my taste blame it on me being Canadian. Home of Nickelback, the second greatest ****** party hard rock band after AC/DC.

Anyone want to talk about trade value?

What is the trade value of the Enjoy by 2.4.14 that I just found in the back of my fridge. Do you think it'll pull Loons?

You realize we're all hipsters to some who doesn't like/"get" craft beer.

Don't forget Faith No More man!!!

I went to the show here in Pittsburgh. One of the highlights was walking across the Ft. Duquesne bridge just in time to hear the closing piano notes to Epic. Which meant we didn't have to sit through Faith No More.

I also remember the skies opening up and it poured during the intro to Wherever I May Roam. Straight up biblical.

Best part of GnR was probably the first few songs, which were Night Train, It's So Easy, and Mr. Brownstone I think.

And to bring this back to beer, I'm currently drinking whiskey.

Isn't Untappd just Pokemon Go for adults?

Faith No More is amazing. Mike Patton has never made a bad song. All 3,700 of them including the voice effects for the creatures in I Am Legend.

I told one of the owners of Untappd that the app was pokemon for adults a few years ago and got a good laugh out of him. You could say I'm a pretty cool guy.

Though I don't love Faith No More, I have a lot of respect for Mike Patton and would sit through 1000 repeat listening of their albums before having to hear Patience one more time.

Just traded a MBP for 2 Axl Rose steroid syringes

So I have a question for you nerdz who know the beer sciences much better than I. I posted this in the drinking thread last night looking for some opinions, but I didn't get any unfortunately.

Opened a 3F Oude Geuze 14' last night. The oak aged version, gold label, bottled January 2014, 375ml bottle. It's been in my bar fridge since I got it about six months ago in a trade, but before that obviously I cannot attest to how it was handled.

Looked normal on the pour. The nose was burnt oak, sulfur and garlic. My palate isn't for ****, so I apologize I can't give you anything more sophisticated, but as I can best describe it both smelled and tasted like a garlic spiked fart. I couldn't even come remotely close to finishing the bottle and ended up dumping it.

My only previous gueuze experienced was with LPG and it tasted NOTHING like this. Not in the same universe.

So, any idea what gives? Surely this is not what this beer was intended to taste like.

Gueuze are probably the most microbially complex beers around, so those flavors could've come from any number of critters. Gonna pull a Nate & try to draw on something I read without having it right in front of me, but I think I just read that enterobacter (poopy-smelling germs) are usually the first to post up in cooling lambic wort, so maybe that blend just had a particularly resilient or dormant strain that survived fermentation, blending, & then aging for two years. Maybe?

Best part of the GnR concert was hearing the echoes in my neighborhood cease, the brief ****** fireworks, and silence that followed.

Appreciate your input Nate. Honestly, it was terrible and I was shocked by that. I couldn't get more than 3-4 ounces of it down.

Pretty sure he has the one of the largest vocal ranges of any modern musician ever studied. Oddly enough, Axl is also up there.

 

[brother rebus]

edit- i left my credit card at east end four weeks ago, and picked it up yesterday. They have 2012 Gratitude on tap. I was surprised how delicious it was. very tasty.

Yikes. I can confidently say that is unlike any experience i have had from any 3F Geuze.
