Hit 'em straight, Shaun.

Hope everyone is happy we have finally driven the banter to Cigars!

sorry, let's get back to peanut butter/jelly/coconut/raspberry beer.

Got a personal invite back to Karl Strauss for Cask Tapping tonight....Toasted Coconut Wreck Alley Imperial Stout....I'll be there!

Friend of mine is very excited about that!!  They also have a chocolate PB porter but I don't like it as much as any of the others I've had.

I was surprised to find that they've never offered a Pumpkin beer.

I wasn't as in to the craft beer scene last fall (or summer, for that matter) to know who did and didn't put out seasonal offerings like that, but I gotta think that people will experiment this time around since it's absolutely exploded recently. Stone's been cranking out the one-offs recently.  Ballast Point experiments quite a bit.  My only 'beef' with BP these days is that all their limited, experimental type stuff is usually only served by the glass at the brewery.  Stone will at least fill growlers with their random stuff.

Nice offerings for AJF fans on CI for the week.  Wish they would have thrown in some New Worlds.

I'm definitely considering a bundle purchase from Atlantic.  Maybe a split with ol' Dan.

I only have a 'direct' account now and not VIP, but my discounts are showing anywhere from $20-$25 off the regular price.  Bundle of 21 robustos are $77.95.

It's going well, I'm enjoying it despite the massive time suck it's become.  And since there's a specific goal with it it's much easier to WANT to spend the time on it, as opposed to the bullshit undergrad stuff where I just wanted to get it done with minimal effort.  I'm most amazed at how 'respected' a master's degree has become, whereas the undergrad degree is just assumed.

What's more amazing is how we can find the time for it if we try hard enough.  If I could just get my current company to foot the bill for it, I think the deal would be sealed.

That, too.  Lots of late nights for me these past few months but it's been worth it and it's very rewarding.  It's been a little tough since it's a total career/field change but I'm enjoying it.  Had the first day of the internship yesterday and even the attitude toward the finance people was funny.  On one hand, "we" are a necessary evil.  On the other, be nice to us since it's our decisions that can make your life miserable.  Looking forward to doing some 'real world' work in the field... unless all gov't jobs are just trainings and lunch breaks.
