Having facebook alone pisses me off :-D still dranking water

Eh, it's not really Facebook's fault. It's very difficult to convey your feelings and thoughts in words alone. They cannot convey emotion well. So because of that, my words were misinterpreted and my intention was misunderstood. It happens on this site all too frequently as well. So, not this guy is offended and is extremely defensive. But what I don't get is how this guy is offended when his brewery has only been around for a year or so and named one of his beers using the name of another brewery in the beer name, which I'm sure was inadvertent. Either way, this guy received a cease and decist letter to rename the beer. Now he's all jerked off and making some comments about it on FB. I respectfully commented on how I don't like seeing breweries talking smack on each other and would rather see them work together and fight the commercial giants. I was misunderstood. And I can understand how my words could be misunderstood or misinterpreted, so I feel bad, but as a professional company, calling out a loyal customer on a public forum is kind of crappy. So I'm not sure what to do or how to respond.

Man, relax. Drink a beer.

PS: I only read the first sentence of your post.
 
This is my type of "session" brew.

Couldn't resist.

Pina Colada Chardonnay.

I added 2 litres of Mr. & Mrs. T Pina Colada mix to a batch of Argentia Ridge Chardonnay (double kit purchased at Costco) at bottling. I made the first kit as per the instructions. The result was very bland so I decided to experiment with the second kit. It's a bit of an improvement but it could stand a little more sweetness.
 
A gushing breakfast nectar! Tasted like a gusher, too. Be careful with the rest Mark. I'll still give it a 10 for the label.

Now a boulevard coffee ale. Tasty.
 
Just finished a Shorts Huma Lupa Licious while sweating during the boil of a wheat. Prob about 90 out here! Thank god I've been able to jump in the pool to cool down!!

Eh, I'm out of beer and money till tomorrow. Otherwise I would. So instead, I watched the last half hour of Sharknado and now I feel better. Whatever. Sometimes I just think about sh!te too much.
 
Don't know if I should go golfing this weekend (and pass-out from the heat) or brew a beer. Decisions.
