But in general I assume people using GIF images probably aren't actually angry.

Also, I'm surprised you took more offense to me posting "GTFO" rather than to me posting that we should kill you guys with fire and/or nuke you from orbit. :)
Conveying tone over the internet isn't the easiest thing to do...was just bustin chops, wasn't mad. The nope gif made me lol

Indeed it is.

Hard to tell when someone is joking or angry and when someone is busting chops or actually has rustled jimmies.

You know what rustles my jimmies? That my Acme, which used to carry an AWESOME selection, just stopped, and now I've got to go in opposite directions of my house if I want to grab a decent cigar and a decent beer. I just found this out when I went over there today. The "nicest" thing they had there was Boddingtons (admittedly not the worst ale I have had).

Lot of good beers in Chicago the past two days, a lot of micro brews. Goose Island, many of their varieties, were pretty good. Green line, 312. Laguinitas (sp) was delicious. Brought home some new beers to try. Sofie, Purple Haze, Shock Top Lemon Shandy (lol), Goose Island variety pack, and some good ole Old Style beer.

Had a bourbon ale a few weeks ago, don't remember name, but it tasted like straight bourbon. Didn't like it. This one, however (Kentucky), was a lot more mild, and not bad. Still tough to mix the two in my mind, but I could get used to it.

I bought a six of Diabotical IPA made in Traverse City, Michigan tonight. Still chilling.

Had a draft Stone IPA with dinner tonight, I could drink more of that.

Only Acme I've been in for beer was the one in Fairlawn which had a pretty decent selection.

It's terrible when stores stop having good selections. Tragic really.

This one isn't far from the Fairlawn strip, where that Acme is. Yeah, their selection is still decent.

If it's the one from Alltech I'm not a big fan of it. I've had it a few times and there is too much bourbon flavor. Like it's fake or just drop a shot in your beer mug and chug. I like them with just a hint of bourbon...Yes I sound like a broken record as I've said it several times before in this thread

So I bought some Diabolical IPA brewed by North Peak Brewery last evening. I could only finish 1-1/2 beers. The level of carbonation in the beer made it undrinkable. Today I poured some in a Pilsner glass and am letting it settle a little bit. When I poured it maybe not quite 1/4 of the glass was beer, the rest all foam. The beer has been in my refrigerator almost 24 hours so it is cold, any other opinions on this condition other than I may have just got a bad batch?
