Morning, all!  Kind of a crazy day today... daughter's 2nd birthday, my last full time day with the ad agency, first gov't meeting before lunch, boss wants to go out for drinks after lunch, hockey with the boy tonight.  Can't wait to crack that first queer beer.

Good morning Joe!  congrats on making the job move!  hope it all works out the way you want it to!!  you guys calling stuff like the Seagrams fruit type drinks and such.  I've noticed on the bottles they are beer based.

No, we're talking about various craft beers that are a little non-traditional in presentation, coffee, citrus, even things like chocolate, vanilla and peanut butter added to the mash bill.  Or like the example from Joe below of some other more traditionally made beers that go beyond the basic pilsner or lager.

GMornin Joe! The start of bigger and better things! Don't put your lips around the neck of the bottle, that's queer.

Good to know.  Usually just slide the bottle as far back in my throat as I can get it without gagging.

Am I the only one who is a little bit turned on right now?

I hope so. WTF? I leave for a few meetings and this place becomes Deepthroat Friday?

Just want to make sure I'm drinking my beer correctly so I don't get ripped for that, too.  Morning, Scott.  Had a Stone RuinTen last night.  10% ABV (little higher, forget the exact number).  Very good, one of my favorite IPAs I've had lately.  Not particularly expensive for that high of an ABV, either.  Think it was $7 at BevMo.

I was just trying to change the subject.  I didn't dare talk about Horny Goat Peanut Butter porter.

Now there's a liquid that tastes great as it oozes over your tongue and slides down the your throat

Thanks, Sam.  It'll be an interesting change, for sure, but I'm a gamblin' man.  Travellin' Dave summed up queer beer quite nicely.  It's "real" beer.  More real than some of the mainstream stuff that uses the cheapest possible ingredients to make "beer".  But I don't care AT ALL what other people drink and enjoy because it's not like they're sharing, anyway!!  And I'm not sharing, so I don't care what you think of my stuff

Ha, agreed.  Favorite all around PB beer I've had.

fucking nuts are pissing me off.

2 more weeks!

and I hope it's scheduled for only 6 work days.

So that means you'll put in 10.

I spoke to soon. new schedule has me working every day next week. two drivers going on vacation.

Called that one!  They're nothing if not consistent!

May as well make any last bit of money that you can.

yes, absolutely Joe. as it is they are converting 48 hours of personal leave to vacation leave so the replacement driver can start sooner (?), giving me what personal leave I've earned for next year (52 hours), and a small severance stipend. all in a lump sum check. SS won't be too happy with that, but hope they look at the yearly income and not the monthly one.

10.80 according to beeradvocate.  I'll have to look for it because it seems up my alley.

Have you seen/tried the Unapologetic (I think) IPA?

Sounds like a deal to me.  Truly hope this works out and you're off to Florida in a few weeks.  Love seeing people take risks to get out of situations that make them miserable.  Don't like something?  Change it.

Right up your alley???   Now you're starting to sound like DaveOy.

Seen it but haven't tried it.  Stone is EVERYWHERE here.  Seriously.  There is not a Stone beer that I couldn't walk and get right now, and be back in 20 minutes.
