Big Sky calls it a Winter Ale. I’d call it a WCIPA. It’s pretty good, actually.

I would have never guessed that as an option. It's clever but now after peeking behind the curtain....Googled imaged. Then sized to fit

it was a very nice day here today 60 deg. Thank you sirIt is times like these where I am envious of those who can grill outdoors.
Nice setup.
I was getting lunch at my schools lounge and they were starting doing small shows again after Ricky Wilson had died. Couldn't stand to stop and listen like a idiot. Loved his guitar playing.An unsolicited fun fact… lol…The red headed female singer from the b52’s is a long time customer of my Father’s greenhouse and nursery business.
If you drink all your beer tomorrow the ghost will go away.View attachment 759385View attachment 759386Thanks @TheDudeLebowski for the Mettle!! Solid DIPA with a nice dryness/bitterness.
Then Lily from Fidens brewing. Ugh cutting back on drinking = more aged IPAs.Lily was canned on 12/2/21, but still drinking pretty good. Maybe tomorrow I can put a good dent on these older IPAs. Or maybe I’ll drink freshies.

Hi David,@adminstrator or @IslandLizard
I noticed that this thread is taking a lot longer to load than everything else. I've got 30 Mbps on the laptop going on so it's not that. Maybe do a year by year for the thread like the sister-site and start a new one? It's not ridiculously slow but maybe something to consider.
Thanks,
David
My image size MUST be retained.Hi David,
thanks for reaching out.
I'm paging @HBT_Admin here too, so she knows there's a follow-up.
Although this thread is rather long, 7556 pages currently, the only part that loads is the current selected page, containing a maximum of 40 posts. Not the whole thread is preloaded.
Now there are many large images on these pages, so loading those could slow things down, depending on your internet connection speed and power of your processor.
I just loaded a few random pages of this thread, it was speedy here, only taking 3-4 seconds per page, but that's on a Gigabit connection.
The size of this very page (#7555) is a tad over 100MB, which would take a minimum of 100*8 = 800 Mbit / 30 Mbps = 27 seconds with your connection. This is just for the data transfer, without processing overhead on either end. Is that the lag you're experiencing, or does it take much longer? 27 seconds can feel like an eternity if you're waiting for it.
Splitting the thread into a year by year edition may make browsing a little less cumbersome, but wouldn't make any difference in loading speed, as we'd still have the same (large) size content pages, due to many large images per page.
We can take this discussion to our HomeBrewTalk Announcements & Forum Help forum if we want to get more detailed, or if many others experience this too. Not sure there would be an easy solution, aside from using fewer posts per page or reducing the image sizes.
Looks like that’s a moray… your Valentine’s beer?
That is such a good beer!Optimator.

That’s the label for my Schwarzbier.
