Anyone care to tell me who this guy is? Too lazy to google this one.

He is an NBA player. He was a 1-and-done at Georgia Tech and then was a great scorer and primary option in Toronto for several years after being drafted. Then he fled the Great White North to join powers with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in Miami. The move to Miami saw Bosh become a third option on the offensive end, but he accepted his new role with class and eventually thrived, winning 2 NBA championships as part of the "Big 3". He has recently been plagued with a recurring blood clot issue in his legs, but has apparently been using the time off as an opportunity to blog, including about beer.

You'll probably understand the first and last sentences of that paragraph.

let me tell you about manbearpig, ok? it's the reason why America is up here and the rest of the world is down here.
i know. i know about stouts. trust me when i say i know a lot about stouts, after all I've had plenty of stouts.
and i have several stouts available to many people.
it's great. greatness and richness. it's what America needs from breweries, ok?

i want you to finally break free from InBev's chains.
i will give you the keys to finally break free from the oppressors chains!
my message is simple, i have done it. i know i can. i mean, let me tell you how i've done it because trust me, TRUSSST me, it's great, ok? and trust me when i know what great is. i should know, i'm pretty great.
if you don't believe me, take a look at untapp'd. i'm always on there. if i wasn't great, they wouldn't talk about me, ok?

let's talk about beers. you know what America doesn't need? bad beers. i mean, i mean look at my friend bud, ok?.
i should know, he's a good friend of mine. bud doesn't make good beer. is that what you really want, America?

take a look at my wife. now, she doesn't make beer, i know. she's my wife. and she's hot.
that's all that matters. good beers and a hot wife.

well America, it's time to make you great again.

You also forgot to mention that he bears a striking resemblance to a velociraptor.

Lies! You clearly read the last sentence as well!!
 
I always debate what to do when I'm out at a bar and order a beer from a big craft brewery I respect and it's infected as ****. This time it's Smuttynose Bouncy House. You'd think they'd want to know, but ahhhh... **** it.
 
Is this Duvel Tripel Hop 6 pack all rebrewed this year or is it a vertical?
 
Can someone explain the hype behind Manbearpig to me? Have any non locals even tried it yet?
Voodoo has been at it for a while...i don't think their stuff falls into the latest hype **** they always put out incredible beers.

I also regret even posting this because now i'll get notifications from this dumpster fire of a thread.
 
r/beertrade putting on some chuckles for today (copypasta'd below, less funny **** removed):

Important announcement from moderation team
Beer Advocate announced the acquisition of Reddit’s /r/beertrade. Putting months of acquirement rumors to rest, the decision is driven by mutual irreverence, respect and desire to stay true to beer trading roots. The combination stems from the want to take risks, sniff out ******** and grow against-the-grain in an era of increasing competition within online beer trading. The collaboration will match years of large-scale growth, expansion expertise and resources of Beer Advocate with the strength of /r/beertrade’s loyal following to help both forums strengthen their future position. Similarly to Beer Advocate, /r/beertrade’s award-winning forum is well known and respected within the craft community.

/r/beertrade is facing next-level challenges and we needed to develop next-level skills and resources to meet them. But, we got into beer trading out of passion and an unwavering desire to travel our own path. We didn’t want to just shove our round peg into some ******* square hole and hope for the best. Internet craft beer traders want something they can proudly stand behind. These guys get that. They wrote the book on keeping it real,” says familynight, founder of /r/beertrade. Familynight will remain as head moderator of /r/beertrade following the transaction.

Since 2009, /r/beertrade achieved a near constant growth pattern reaching nearly 15,000 subscribers in 2016, placing Reddit on the craft beer map. The partnership will provide additional investment for /r/beertrade’s infrastructure growth within Reddit. “What /r/beertrade has done for the community of beer trading is impressive. It’s important for our culture to do business with people we want to hang out with and familynight and the gang fit,” Todd Alstrom, soul Founder of Beer Advocate, stated about the new partnership.

Terms of the acquisition are not disclosed.
