Would smash. All day.

Don't care.

Yep, same. According to mjohnson17 :

"John's favorite beer is High Life. I know this has been in the works for months. He's made a few trips up to Milwaukee to visit Miller. I'm excited for this."

So we're probably six months from Natty Daddy with brett then, huh?

That's pretty much what New Glarus's berliner tastes like already. I'd tick it.

I think I am going to have to unsubscribe from the email list, I deleted this email after the first 3 lines.

I say that after every email, and then remind myself that they ship Sahalie, so at least I'll stick around for that.

Was there a Side Project release yesterday?

That is an usually low amount of dumpster fires for STL.

Apparently there's a brewery in the middle of the forest in Michigan called Hop Lot. My buddy sent some pics, looks ****** awesome. I need to move, sick of Florida.

It's not in the middle of a forest, but it's pretty cool.

But please stay in Florida.

The inclination of some people to invent facts to justify higher prices continues to mystify me.

There's a bottle shop by me that has the best selection in town, but is also notorious for overcharging on everything. Now, they aren't the worst offenders; they're not going to sell KBS for 3X retail like some smaller, even more laughable stores attempt. But every single bomber will be marked up between $1 and $5 more than what the rest of the retailers are charging. Same goes for 4 and 6 packs. They announced that they were expanding their retail space, and somebody commented expressing a hope that a price drop would follow, because he has to pay several dollars more per bomber there than elsewhere. To which some idiot, who by the way doesn't work there and has no obvious stake in defending their practices responded:

i personally don't mind paying the up prices at rishis. Been coming there for years but you have to realize he gets the biggest allotment in Grand Rapids and has excellent relationships with his distributors whom he has to pay a bit more to get the quality beers that he has and can get. So yes. It's a bit more expensive, but it's worth every penny since rishis and his team does his best to get the best beers they can get

So this genius seems to think that every beer distributor in West Michigan is on the take, and by the way only from a single store, and that for this reason prices are higher at the store, and it is totally okay. Some people.

Too far south to get Cycle, and **** Wakefield.

But Michigan winters.

 

[jeevo]

But Michigan winters.

 

[trickytunadicky]

It's not the December that kills you. It's the surprise snow in April, when you thought it was over.

Now you are talking about Colorado, only it's May, and it's not a surprise.

But Michigan's winter comes coupled with day after day of bleak gray sky and sadness.

And White Walkers.

Michigan winters only kill the criminally old and people who can't drive. I'll take our winters over hurricanes, floods, wildfires, earthquakes, mud slides, droughts, tornados, shark attacks...

Winter doesn't kill us, it makes us tough.

False.........Grand Rapids winters were awful, hands down. Way worse than any time that I lived in Florida, Tennessee or Pennsylvania.

Working in GR in the winter: wake up its dark, clean off your car and drive to work. Lunch time you head out and its gray, 50/50 you have to brush off your car again. Work gets out, you have to 50/50 clean your car off and drive home in the dark. So much fun and happiness, I couldn't control how great of a time I was having.

You'd die in Minneapolis.

Nah, Grand Rapids didn't kill me. A few of the years that I lived there it got the second least amount of sunlight of major cities in the US. Not a fun stat.

Okay, but you lived. Sure the coasts are nice right up until a hurricane or earthquake flattens your neighborhood.

Quit being a pussy, make a snowman, grab a pint at Founders.

We're terrified of earthquakes in San Diego. I usually quell my fears in the "Winter" here:

The worst part about Houston is that every single place has AC on full blast. So it's freezing cold inside and hotter than Satan's balls outside. The worst.
