Sonofanump - Are you sampling or just catching up on shit you haven't put in? If your check-ins are accurate, you are completely fucked up right now.

Slowly getting into sours. Had an Oude Geuze with lunch today, pretty damn tasty. Wish they weren't so pricey though. I know Curly loves them, anyone else?

Fell in love with sours after my first sip, would drink them everyday if I could. Price is the only reason they're a once a while beer.

Had a nice sour my brother brought up from NC over the holidays called Viking Fraoch from D9 Brewing.

I'm checking out for about 2.5 months. Been heavy on the sauce lately, and I need to drop some lbs. to boot. I'll still enjoy reading.

Interesting. When I see SA as the best option at a restaurant, I order water. Not a fan, not because it is so available, because Lager is a tailgate beer, not a restaurant beer. I often steer my family and friends who want a lager toward it instead of InBev/MC.

Funny!

Indeed

Alcoholism is a real thing, though. With my FIL passing away, I was very heavy on the sauce, every night, for the wrong reasons. I need the break, as does my gut... as does my chest, apparently! BOOM!

Good reason to take a break man. Hope everything is going well.

Hello all, I assure you I'm not dead.

Anyways, anyone down to trade? I've got a 4 pack of Backwoods Bastard that I would like to part with. I've got some other rare-ish stuff from Founders and Firestone Walker.

Very interesting. I've been pretty unimpressed by most of the alcohol effect studies I've read, including long term effects. However this article was pretty cool/interesting.
