The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[the_bird]

Hey JD,

Your brother suck almost as much as you do.

Just in case you were wondering,

He also brung me a bottle of this (aged in the Wild Turkey barrels).

It says on the bottle that you can lay it down for 25 years... yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.

We're going shopping tonight for massive domestic IPAs he can smuggle back over the pond. I think he may owe some people a few favors for these presents.

Nice score. I could have sworn I had seen that brewery in my local packy. So, I did a google search and found that they do distribute to Mass. More importantly I found an interesting Ale house up by the north shore:

Never heard of it and they have this breweries version of a golden ale. I'm always around the seacoast area but I'm usually doing 100mph when I pass through Amesbury. Has anyone ever tried this place?

So Bird, what is your plan on tasting the Westy?

 

[the_bird]

No, you can't have any, that's my ******* plan!

Haven't decided. If there's another Utopias brewfest this winter, I'll probably bring that along to ensure my invitation (as well as to return the favor of those who have allowed me to sample Sammy's Utopias and some other uber-nice beers.

Stop at the Amesbury Ale House when you get a chance. It is definitely worth the stop. Solid tap list and the food is pretty good.

One of my favorites places.

They have also been hoarding 3 kegs of KBS. They plan on tapping them for their 5 year anniversary party. It was first posted that the party was going to be in early November , but I have heard the date has been moved to late October.

Also Cody Brewing is directly across the street, they brew out of a warehouse and have growler hours on Saturday mornings.

Riverwalk Brewing was at the same location also, but recently moved into their new brewery just over the otherside of the mouth of the Merrimack in Newburyport.

You're like the third person I've heard talk about bars having a special thing for KBS...

i don't get that... it's on tap at about four bars within walking distance of my building in Boston.

It's a great beer but it's not like it is super limited in its availability like Kate the Great. I don't get the whole, "WE HAVE SOME AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT A SPECIAL THING"... ehhh... ok... you do that and I'll just walk across the street and have it now.

I had a glass at lunch Tuesday at Kinsale

I agree. I don't get why they didn't tap them months ago.

I still am a big fan of the place thought. I love the rotating list of great beers, tasty appetizers, ands it never really crowded there. There are also a few other great pubs in Amesbury within walking distance.

I also never understood why anyone would wait in line at 4am on a cold March morning for KTG either.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I heard that Five Horses in Somerville hyped KSB. It then turns out that it was the regular stout. People weren't too happy. Others were ectstatic I went there once and wasn't too impressed.

The employees all wear really cool and hip flannel shirts....that's cool right?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Ugh. I use to live in Somerville during the college days when Whitey was still running around. Kept things exciting. Kind of miss those days. A lot safer place to live than dangerous Charlestown or Southie. Now there's nothing but hipsters running around.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Speaking of walruses, didn't this guy have gastric bypass surgery:

 

[homebeerbrewer]

I know... but given the thread I am legally required to mock your "hey, I got a beach house" post given that is almost mid-October.

On a beautiful day like today, I'll take it. I might not enjoy it so much in February, but it's a place I can call my own.

I hung there once in a while with my frat in college. Great sub shops and pizza.

Then we would go to what was left of the zone. Very disappointing.

Then to the banana to get our banana's polished.

 

[paulthenurse]

I REALLY could have done without the visual of Barney and his frat bro Fred Flintstone getting their boulders crushed by Betty and Wilma as the way I started my day. Just sayin'.

 

[Super64]

Why, yes he did. It nearly killed him. Based on what he's been saying lately, they must have put the band around his neck and cut off the circulation to his brain.

Present and accounted for, Sir!

 

[nhwrecker]

Hey dude,
thanks for the lead on the car, but we ended up biting the bullet on the repairs - gotta keep the mechanics kids in college, right?

Anyway, what's KBS stand for?

Is it Founders stout?

I just had that for the first time last night at a kinda new (<1 yr old) wine bar in Nashua (Napa East - 100 bottles of CA wine by the glass, if you're into wine, and 4 beers on tap, if you're not). The manager told me it was 6-7% ABV, though I thought it was much higher - just checked the website and they list the imperial stout as 11%, and the breakfast stout at 8.3%, so I don't even know which one I had. Lots of chocolate and coffee tastes though. Not bad, but not worth driving to.

 

[j1laskey]

KBS is Founders Breakfast Stout aged in a bourbon barrel.

Warning! Prepare for all of your jealousy meters to get pegged, right after I tell you where I'm going for fun tonight, to keep the SWMBO happy.


Gonna see Brickyard Blues Band (cool local blues band) at the ......Drum roll, Pah-lease.......

Polish American Club in Nashua!!!! Yay me..........Whooo Hoooo! It's not everyplace you get to buy Bud cans for $2 (probably the "best" beer available) and share cigarette smoke from your toothless neighbors sitting at the bar stool next to you. Can't wait for this one - "private clubs" nowadays are like a big huge ashtray. And I'm sure this place has nothing but the best in membership and "cly-uhn-tell".

I can get directions for any/all of you that need them. Definitely taking a cab home from here, if for no other reason than I don't want my truck stinking of cigarettes after I've been in this place for an hour. The things we do for the SWMBO..............

 

[Cape Brewing]

That's one high-maintenence woman you got there Mort... I hope she's workin' these days and helpin' cover those kinda bills.

 

[nhwrecker]

Hey Cape,

Butts 'n Buds! May have to pick up some flannel on the way home to be sure I fit in. Or a tow truck driver's shirt.

You guys should consider making Bog Iron members only, so your customers can smoke in there! Wouldn't that be awwwwwsummmmm! Think of the nice shade of "ivory" your white ceilings could turn into.

 

[Cape Brewing]

nahhhhhhhh... I'm good. I still have a touch of asthma from growing up with two chain smokers. I'm all set.

I would just cut the SWMBO off at three Buds... you don't want her getting all spoiled and expecting that kinda red carpet treatment every Friday night.

 

[paulthenurse]

I don't know what I'm more embarrasses for you about... That you are actually going through with this or that you are telling us about it in advance.
It's only because Pat is wicked cool that we don't take the Masstoberfest Cup away from your PW'd arse..

 

[barneygumble]

Yeah, well, Betty could tie a cherrysorus stem with her tongue.

[paulthenurse]

Hey Mort,
it's 5:15 AM. You make it in yet or are you and Pat still out painting the town pink?

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Damn, I over slept. Sorry Pauly, you didn't get your 3 am phone call last night.

 

[bluemoose]

So I know some of you guys do a utopia every now and again.

I was wondering if this would be good to brew now to drink in the summer of 2014. If it is really good aged about 2 years I would love to brew it.

It's not exactly a 'summertime, lawnmower' beer. More of a 'special occasion, share a bottle with 3 - 4 friends' beer.

As far as aging goes, it does take time. Lots of it.

 

[the_bird]

Has U2 gotten any better? And don't you ******** still owe me 3 bottles of u3?

 

[Cape Brewing]

Good luck Bird. I had a whole freakin share of U3 that mysteriously disappeared into the wind.... And that after Yeager chased my down for the whole $30 as if it was the last $30 his child needed for a heart transplant or something.
