Mitch Steele is leaving Stone Brewing Company at the end of the month. While I don't buy much Stone beer anymore, the influence he has had on brewers / folks in the hop industry has been tremendous.

After ten incredible years as our brewmaster, we’ll be saying a bittersweet goodbye to Mitch Steele later this month. While we’re very sorry to see him leave ‪#‎TeamStone‬, we’re extremely excited to follow him in his next venture. Thanks for a decade of amazing ‪#‎craftbeer‬, Mitch!

I am pretty sure Tawd settled shis years ago when bromie in my pic admitted to showing up an hour later to the first Black Friday with doughnuts and joining the folks he provided breakfast for and someone was butthurt enough to make a thread on BA about it. Tawd ruled not cutting, and we know he is a stickler for the rules.

In other news a gas leak will blow and lift sewer grates if left for long enough. Happened blocks from my office today and several Chicago streets are closed during rush hour in the loop. Lol

Some people need to ******* relax about beer. I'm in line at Veil and some guy is giving me **** because I dropped my friend (who has gout) off at the back of the line, went around the corner to park, and joined him in line with a chair for him to sit in. Like I was gone literally 5 minutes and a few people that joined the line in between are complaining. If I was really cutting the line it wouldn't be to save a dozen spots with a hundred people still in front of me.

Apparently what I should have done was put my flashers on, jumped out, loudly announced I was in line and plopped my chair down, then jumped back in the car to park. Beside that somehow makes a huge difference to these people.

Says the guy who drove two states away for a beer release.

Edit: Late to the party. Stupid to think this could make it several hours before someone else gave JulianB ****.

The yeast I bought today is more exciting than the beer. The difference in gas cost between driving 2 and 4 hours is honestly made up for by the cell count alone.

Whadja get?

 

[JulianB1]

Whadja get?

2 vials of RVA Yeast Labs Hoptopper, aka Conan. 200 billion cell count is what I've been hearing, so double of the Yeast Bay Vermont Ale yeast vials.

Only when you're trying to get in line at beer releases.

Looks pretty painful when my neighbor walks around during a flare up.

As someone Richard cut that day, that was ********. Someone didn't get beer because of him.

as a self-diagnosed gout sufferer with periodic flareups. holy ****, yes.

not just to walk but to sleep, to sit, to stand, to shower, to jerk off. it feels like a sledgehammer hit your toe, then set it on fire and someone poured acid on it in an attempt to douse the flames.

 

[LukeAleTime]

It seems like every craft bottle shop in Australia is getting hauls of KBS right now. Every day new stores are like "omg limited, once in a lifetime bucket list event".

We know you're lying because literally everyone else has it.

But something I think worth noting, as one whose dealt with gout before too, is that while the pain can be quite intense, it doesn't impair you per se. In other words, if you have gout and it is going to hurt like a ************, it'll hurt whether you're sitting on the couch or walking from the parking lot.

I'll admit I got it once. Not only does it hurt to walk it hurts to put socks on. Like nope not happening.

It's acid build up. It's not that uncommon.

"Your chances of getting gout are higher if you are overweight, drink too much alcohol, or eat too much meat and fish that are high in chemicals called purines."

Welcome to TB!

SRS gout sucks! I don't have it, but I fear it and other forms of arthritis.

 

[t sizzle]

Gout is awful. Could not get out of bed for hours and when I finally could I had to borrow a cane from my FIL just to go to the doctor.

This is a website for beer alchys with both burger and smoker threads. I'm surprised there aren't more TBers with gout.

i always just figured gout was a disease for monarchs and robber barons

 

[ASak10]

And here I always thought that gout was something that went away in the 30s, or maybe was something that old people got...y'all need to visit the getting healthy thread.
