Heading to PPOB probably in the next 30 minutes or so. What should I get to drink?

Beer. But I also just finished MT anniversary and a quick O'Brien's trip...so you know, I might not be the best of judgement. Gotta take care of the better half. She went a lot harder than I and it showed. Poor girl.
 
Domed an Oldest Viscosity for science last night. The flavors are relatively muted except for booze, and the consistency is thin as **** for a beer with "Viscosity" in its name. People have been complaining about the latest vintages of Parabola and KBS, but those beers stand as masterworks compared to this. If you have a time machine and purchased any bottles of this, travel back to last week and warn your younger, naive self about the mistake he's about to make.

We should start a petition to every beer festival/party thrown during Summer where the brewery MUST have air condition on.

Lots of ball sweat this past weekend.
You're referring to the Ball Sweat Index (BSI).
It's a simple mathematical formula based on the: Ave Body Mass Index of a beer drinker * # patrons * duration of event (in minutes) * (ambient heat w/ humidity adjustments (methane fart factor adjustor, as methane is a better greenhouse gas than CO2) ventilation/R insulation factor) / Sq ft of event (additional modifiers if above fire code and Sq ft is reduced due to pouring stations. This equals the "Nuts-to-Butts" ratio.) / all the above by 100 = BSI

Aditional relative adjustments for Body Odor and lack of women in attendance can really send the BSI to Factor Red Condition 13 quickly.

haha oh man that would be amazing

untappd with heart rate monitor, years (months?) active in craft beer, relative palate experience index, quantitative writing ability score to rDev descriptive capacity, honesty integer, BAC scan during rating and glass fithiness scan to qualify .5oz pour size and candy sheeting therein.

so that you can index and qualify some dumbfuck MN local dropping hot 5/5's on the newest 100 bottle vanilla stout release he is invariably about to try and flip for KBBS or WLW a bourbon he has never tried but must have.

My first SD conference without Toro Tuesday? Say it ain't so....

I really don't want to bring these bottles back with me and more importantly it's my excuse to get out of the team dinner/event every year. Someone? Anyone? Please save me.

Looking for some North County advice. I'll be in the Vista area for one night next week, looking for input on best place to stay and places to hit up. Trying to decide if I should stay in Vista, San Marcos, or somewhere else nearby. Tentative plan is to hit as many of these as possible...

-Toolbox
-Belching Beaver
-Mother Earth
-Rip Current
-Churchill's

any spots I should add or drop from this list? Food recommendations welcome as well. I have never been to any spots in the North County. Please and thank you.

Have you been to Stone? Not necessarily the best beer, but easily the nicest location in North County. Lost Abbey is worth swinging through as well.

have not been to stone. Although I've heard it's very nice it wasn't on my agenda. Assume you're talking about Escondido location?
