Sorry I've been gone so long.

Welcome back. I am now 61 years old. I drive a Dodge minivan. It's OK. Gave up the itinerary many years ago. Remember that Road Warrior? Got totalled by a Mitsubishi Eclipse. Yeah, I then had to use this green and white bus with low miles that I picked up in Chicago. Sold it to pay my legal fees. Got sent to jail when I beat somebody's Mitsubishi Eclipse to death with a wrench. I saw red.

Now I stamp soup cans at the local supermarket. WalMart fired me. I went off about Evil Empires and invited everybody to steal merchandise. Seen any of the old Itinerant Air-Cooled people around?

Been busy with little computer time.

Glad to see at least Bob and Colin are ok. :cyclopsani:

its the rate of beer.

dick's lava rock porter tonight, and we're cracking the wailing wall safe of sexual innuendo. are you up fore dat? e eh i had my second flaccid dick's in two weeks. but the brewery doesn't suck too. seriously, though i open another i won't take one swig without tiger's leftovers, or ten russian spys and a case of homebrew vodka.

nor'west amerika, does your lover know how to select correct dicks? you young kids listen to your skin, run out and ask your paycheck for dicks.

Probably already mentioned it, but don't much feel like searching this entire thread...

Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA! :drinkers:

Generally 1 to 2 bucks cheaper than anything worth drinking.

Their seasonal Tumbler isn't too bad either and I usually don't care much for browns.

Happy Friday everyone!

The Torpedo is way better than the regular. I always grab a few when they're in a cooler at a store.

I dunno, last Torpedo I had, I thought the hop profile tasted a bit dusty stale. Nectar Ale IPA shines in my book, but I've only seen it in Arcata, CA. Fresh, sparkly, floral with a palate cleansing sense of citrus finish. Yum. I think it even pales my standard fave, Rogue's Brutal Bitter, recently renamed Brutal IPA.

Musta had a shitty one. Didn't notice that on the one I just drained. :drunken:

going to be in the 90's for the next few days. gin is where its at. thanks for the reminder boss.

meantime i've been sticking mostly with the lagunitas brand. had three 22oz hop stoopids int 7-10 days. omfg that stuff in insane, how do you handle that on a regular basis neal? i cut back to the maximus. that and ninkasi's maiden the shade are the summer beers of '10. the ninkasi is a stammering 5.65 per 22. can only do it one, more, time.

Cha, like the Lagunitas. Especially the FZ tributes, but that's just because it's a FZ tribute. They could fill that bottle with Bud Light, which fortunately they don't.

One a night, fiscally tempered with Yakima's Thunderhead IPA.

Decided to try homebrewing... the kitchen was a science experiment yesterday but we woke up to a happily bubbling fermenter... now the waiting begins!

we never get Lakefront brewery beer out here in California, but the local Eureka Natural Foods managed to pick up some cases of their seasonal Pumpkin Lager. everyone out here makes pumpkin ales, which are alright, but I always love Lakefront's version of it in Lager form much better.
