The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

Just read the article. Pretty accurate. I see Sterling in cans at the local packies.

I was completely shocked that it had been open for a month before I knew about it

I do enjoy playing the golf course just down the street

It not too far from Marlborough, maybe I can carve out some time from my conference to visit this summer.

You’re from Marlborough, NY?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

You’re from Marlborough, NY?

No, I’ve got a conference in Marlborough MA this summer.

 

[Dgallo]

No, I’ve got a conference in Marlborough MA this summer.

Makes much more sense now when I went back through the post lol

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Sounds like we need to prepare a local brew welcoming basket

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I never seem to find the best stuff at the packie when I’m there. lol

Once you've been spoiled by Masstoberfest, nothing can compare.

So I've heard.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I still haven't passed that pepperoni pizza from three years ago.

All the beers I drank last year were great! As for the one I had brought, it was enjoyed by women not fond of IPAs apparently. @TheDudeLebowski Paul’s pizza was really good last year not burnt nor raw… just right.

There's something wrong with you.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I know a crappy pizza when I taste one and most of them have been when I’m away from home. Paul’s slice was so good I ate a second.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I eat the pizza just to talk to Paulie.

 

[balrog]

I’ve heard that everyone always wants a second slice of Paulie.

Heya massholes, what LHBS is left other than Beer Wine Hobby? Been busy moving and buying a house and finally getting back to brewing. I work in Dedham and live in Holden. All the emporiums closed and just drove by Beerology in Northampton and saw that's closed now too. Cheers

 

[homebeerbrewer]

I don't know what's in MA anymore, but I get most of my supplies at Jasper's in Nashua, NH.

 

[day_trippr]

I also have been going up to Jasper's for the last few years since the last Homebrew Emporium outlets all closed. Made one trip to Beer & Wine Hobby just to see their current digs as it'd been years since I visited them when they were in Woburn. Nice folks but it's another 20 minutes from me vs Jasper's, which is also on the way up to our NH house.

Yelp lists some places that allegedly cater in some part to home brewers but I'm skeptical of its accuracy...

Cheers!

 

[balrog]

Nothing here in W MA anymore with Beerology gone. Closest is near Hartford I think but I've never tried it.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Now that you mention it I always blame the haze explosion of me stop brewing. It was actually the closing of Homebrew Emporium. I always enjoyed talking with Fran and his fam. I know he was struggling to stay open so I was constantly there for beer and cider supplies. I miss that place.

There are a surprising amount of hop farms and maltsters in Massachusetts. Definitely in Maine too which some Mass import from.

I'm just a consumer and critique and not a creator anymore but Id check them out for base materials to support local.

Just checked Four Star Farms and they're shipping hops online. If you've never visited check out their brewery. I like to disappear out there for the day. Hit the great golf course down the street and the several breweries around. Four Stars has an amazing location in the valley.

 

[day_trippr]

Bold statements. Anyone tried this yet?

Cheers!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

That is a pretty bold statement. I've been meaning to visit as they're not too far. I definitely have seen them on tap and a good selection at The Beer Store in Nashua. I'll keep an eye out

Lot of StarkBier fests going on:

How do you know you're in New England?
Duh, lobstah claw bike racks.

If you are up for a bit of travel I just picked up a couple of bags of grain from Independent fermentation supply in Plymouth. While the grain was not at group buy prices it is better than paying shipping. Nice little brewery with a small Home brewing store. They even have a tasting room with a nice selection.

 

[BeerNsteadofH2O]

Beer,wine and hobby moved to Peabody, I liked it when they were in woburn, I could walk across the street when I was at work at lunch, I still do most of my buisness with Jaspers..

 

[balrog]

Happy Vernal Equinox, 3hrs late, all youz yahoos.

 

[balrog]

Not fact checked but I hope it's true.

 

[paulthenurse]

Hey kids. Long time no.
Have been crazy busy, around the end of January my basement walls started collapsing. Talk about a world of suck.
Many, many, many thousands of bucks later it's all fixed, upgraded and painted and the house isn't caked in dust anymore. So there's that

And now I'm sitting in the waiting room for my colonoscopy.

Sometimes the world just wants to stick you up the you know what.

 

[balrog]

Good gravy @paulthenurse , sorry to hear about the personal Big Dig. Hope Life gets a little less colonoscopic soon.

Apparently. I'm a perfect *******.

Go figure.

Glad you have a spectacular colon! Geez, the house issue sounds awful, would insurance cover that?

 

[balrog]

You guys are allowing the Celtics to be sold? What the bloody heck is going on over there in the East?

I think I read some time ago that the principal family wanted to cash out for inheritance reasons.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Daddy put in all the money and son,Wyk, went crazy with spending and getting championships. Word is siblings are worried about inheritance since the dad is like 90.

There's big bills coming soon and they didn't own where they play. A lot of interesting things at play. It would be nice if they just burned money like the Warriors.

 

[paulthenurse]

One of the joys of the night before your colonoscopy is when you're crabwalking to the toilet and you whack the bedpost and rip off your toenail

Miraculously I didn't spray paint the bedroom with the three gallons of diarrhea that were pushing against my sphincter like the lake behind the Hoover Dam

 

[paulthenurse]

The current owners bought the team for something like 350 million bucks. Now selling it for 6 billion with a B. That's a no brainer

 

[balrog]

That's a no brainer

Also with a B. And we’re sorry about the toe and glad you only shared a picture of the stubbed digits and not that other Hoover dam thing you mentioned.

 

[paulthenurse]

You know you wanna look.

 

[balrog]

Only if it comes out of the High Holy Masstoberfest Most Sacred Forge And Pizza Oven.

 

[paulthenurse]

view as you're set in a bowl. Nice landscaping tho. It had the usual sound issue for being so open on the inside

Only if it comes out of the High Holy Masstoberfest Most Sacred Forge And Pizza Oven.

An extravaganza like no other. I should be walking better by then.
