MFW people who WORK IN ACCOUNTING don't understand the difference between a debit and a credit....

How's everybody doing today? I'm about to rip my hair out.

EDIT: ... wrong thread...

Whatever ... close enough.

So there's some stupid contest for best new brewery, but my friends brewery is in it so like a good friend I decide to help out.

I think these other guys are cheating, it took me roughly 4000 votes to move them up one rank. I can't imagine that many people give a **** about some bs poll.

Is it the USA Today one?

Holy **** those prices are insane. He reached out to me after I opened a 2011 brandy vanilla dark lord a while back asking if I could send him my empty bottle. I can't believe he'd have the gall to ask for something like that full well knowing he's gonna sell it for ~$300

I like lamps. I just paid 250 for a lamp.

















It was not made of a dark lord bottle.

From what I can tell, the only part of the work really requiring any care/skill is drilling the hole through the bottom of the bottle with a dremel. Otherwise it's just threading some wiring through, putting in a bulb, and mounting it on a base. Not sure how any of that warrants much more than cost of parts plus a small labor charge. And anyone with the right tools could figure out how to do this fairly easily I'd guess.

Lmao those lamps are incredibly tacky

I find them even tackier than a candle holder made with a Stone bottle.

That's it, I'm going to undercut his business out of spite. Everyone send me your empty whales.

 

[spewlanders]

It's funny that it's the exact opposite in sports. Are you wearing a random team's jersey to the game? Don't be that guy.

The rule should be... if you’re not actually playing in the game, don’t wear a jersey. Be an adult, not that guy.

IN!

Not gonna lie, I find the bottle lamps dumb but I dig a lot of the bottle candles, although those stone ones kinda suck. On the other hand the HF candle that PepeSylvia made during the Secret Santa BIF is ******* awesome and I'd pay money for these:

Shaun Hill is easily the best candle maker in the world. There's honestly no one else remotely in his class, in my estimation. These candles are so much better than anything else I've had, in their styles, and this is true across so many different types of candle. It's just unbelievable the degree to which I enjoy these candles more than other representations of the same style. I don't say this lightly either. It would be convenient if I didn't need to drive a thousand miles for my favorite candles, but that's just the reality of the situation.

 

[Wagon Circler]

Oh, this is not his first go around. He’s well known in western NY for some extreme trolling.

Man, I'm farther removed from this **** than I thought.

What if you're wearing the jersey so the team knows you're ready to play?

 

[chefduff2]

Man, I'm farther removed from this **** than I thought.

Probably for the better.

 

[chefduff2]

Who cares what t shirt or jersey you are wearing? After reviewing the running of the Tampa Beer bulls running, I definitely think more concern should be on diabetes strips and blood pressure monitors.

Jerseys look fly though.

Close enough.

Yeah but it is rare garbage

 

[lazerviking]

lazerviking you gonna grab this pizza beer for me?

That sounds absolutely awful but Tired Hands is literally the only brewery I can think of who -might- be able to pull it off effectively. I've had some pretty crazy **** there at times (especially on the cask at the Brew Cafe) that I was sure was going to be gross but somehow managed to work. No way I'd blindly get a 4-pack of cans though, that's a "sample on draft first".

Is breweries talking about what crop of hops they used and how they went out to Yakima and hand-selected them and blah blah blah going to be the new thing that everyone does?

I finally had the pizza beer last night and it was really good. It tasted like a slightly sweeter IPA but was dry on the back end. There was no discernible tomato taste and I wouldn’t have known it was there but for the beer’s reddish hue.

So essentially to make a good pizza beer you just have to make it not taste like pizza.

This is fantastic. Just don't tell Lars or every Metallica song will be reworked for Volkswagen commercials.

Honestly one of the best bread bakeries I've even been to is in Ybor (Tampa) that we found last year during Tampa Bay Beer Week. La Segunda Central is out on control, so affordable, and when the locals are lining up early you know it's good (at least when we are not talking about beer).

Don't tell them we went down to Ybor City, again.
Don't tell the dancers, they'll just get distracted.
Don't tell the DJs. They already suspect us.
Don't mention the bloodshed, don't mention the scams.
Don't tell them Ybor City almost killed us, again.
