Make a reasonable offer.

$100. You pay shipping.

Really? I've seen Jeff grow the inventory of Jasper's quite a bit since he moved from downtown Nashua to Amherst St. He dumped the bottle shop portion to focus more on equipment and has significantly expanded the number and types of malts he has on hand.

It's been a while since the move from downtown Nashua and did see an increase of inventory but for me the dumping of the bottle shop I didn't see an increase. Maybe I'm biased but the last two times I went in there I was looking for a mead setup. Simple small glass fermenters and extras which they didn't have. However I could see how they wouldn't want to take up space on something like that. They did seem very busy tho. I know I could easily find glass jugs but figured I'd give local money.

I do miss the bottle shop section tho. He always had very small NH breweries. Then again the place a couple of blocks down the street comes close.

I'd ask if this system has made any good beer first [emoji238]

 

[paulthenurse]

Ok but I’m not taking a check. I’m not stoopid.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Dropped by Strange Brew today and didn't see any Blich sales signs. Good thing no one asked me for help [emoji16]

 

[bob1852]

You should sell it to Cape. He can brew test batches on it. Just like a lil' Calagione...

 

[day_trippr]

fwiw, don't expect discount sales signage on Blichmann stuff, that's counter to retailer agreement.
This is on the down-low to be sure. Bad timing that Brian wasn't there, I'm not sure Bill or any other staff would be able to make as good a deal as Brian...

 

[paulthenurse]

Lunch.

It’s what’s for dinnah.

 

[day_trippr]

Meh. It didn't take long for Maine's lineup to bore me, and that was years back already.

The Spousal Unit needed a dinner out and in the offing I ran into a 16oz can of "Northern Haze" from True North Ale Co.
Never heard of the beer or the brewery (and I thought Ipswich owned Ipswich. Who knew there was room for another player?)
But I actually said "This is as good as any neipa I've done" loud enough for the wife to hear. She didn't disagree

So, yeah. I'd hit that ten ways to Sunday before a boring Lunch...

 

[paulthenurse]

Ya have to choose from what’s available.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

She did say 'I do'. She's trapped with DT forever. I hear their brewery is a nice visit. There's also a nice restaurant on the way out to Plum Island with a nice view of the sunset and a good taplist. Usually has that on tap. I forget the name

 

[day_trippr]

Yup, she did, and we're 42 years into Forever. Proof that there ain't no escape
Anyway, thinking she and I will take a nice drive up to Ipswich, hit True North first then go over to Ipswich for a late-ish beer lunch...

 

[HoppyDaze]

poor woman

 

[day_trippr]

lol! She's always had fully functional legs, ya know

 

[HoppyDaze]

Her shoelaces must be tied together then

 

[paulthenurse]

Ok. Someone’s got to say it. I don’t f’ing care if people think I’m an azz hole, I agree. I am.

BUT... I flat out don’t like NEIPA’s. There is nothing about those beers I enjoy. They are startlingly out of balance, the hop combination makes me want to brush my teeth, and the chemical undertone of all the road salt they add to achieve a beer that looks like the Mississippi River is probably carcinogenic. Can’t we just go back to a time when everyone isn’t trying to out-extreme each other?

Stop the madness. I was at The Witches Brew recently picking up the makings of a batch. I spent $20 or so. I guy I know came in and got ingredients for a NEIPA. 18 ounces of hops for five gallons of beer. Cost him over $80. F’ing absurd. He brought some of his last batch in to share. I needed a knife and fork to get it down. F’ing madness.

 

[day_trippr]

lmao! Poor big baby! I'm savoring that madness right now!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw charred pizza crust.

Pains me to say it, but I agree.
I can’t wait until the IPA craze wains and people start wanting browns, reds and porters. It is hard to find these at a lot of the stores because of the stupid amount of IPAs.
Hey you kids, get off my lawn!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I like lagers. What do I know?

 

[day_trippr]

"Browns, reds and porters! Oh my!"
Does anyone drink browns, reds - or ambers - these days?
Porters I enjoy - but I suspect that puts me in a very small cohort.

I like a really good pilsner lager. Those aren't easy to find, either...

Cheers!

I got your flying, charred pizza crust.

Right here.

 

[paulthenurse]

And another thing, that f’ing Hyundai commercial is f’ing stupid.

We don’t sound like that. Ok, we might sound like the two guys but there’s no way we sound like that woman

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I don't know. I'd say it's on the extreme edge of the spectrum. I've witnessed the shrilling accent several times at bahs.

 

[paulthenurse]

I’d club her to death with a quahog if I had to spend ten minutes in her company.

 

[Cape Brewing]

You gotta be in corners of Southie to sound anything really close to that.

 

[paulthenurse]

Fathah’s frum Dorchestah , Muthuh’s frum Meffud. Born in Maldin. Worked twenty yeahs in Dorchestah. Used to drink in a since closed joint in Southie for evah.

The skank is the most aggravating sound source since my ex.

Shut yah friggin’ pie hole!

Quahog. Upside the head. Multiple times. Might even go with a surf clam on a stick.

(I’m sure she’s a lovely woman, heart of gold, donates to charity, doesn’t cheat on her taxes, helps old ladies cross the street, rescues stray timber wolves, etc...

Death by quahog!)

 

[HoppyDaze]

So you guys do have the accent

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

You have an accent.

 

[Dland]

Effin eh.. we all do, I suppose,,,,have some sort of speech variation that is..

Shyit, even the robo call phone bots have an accent, which is cool, , , on one level anyway,,,,you can tell where they're from..
