Morning, all. Nice little herf with Jersey Dave last night... had a My Father connie and an EPC Short Run 2012. Drank a Stone Xocoveza and a Modern Times Oatmeal Stout.
Morning Joe, how was the Stone? And I'm not talking about the one that got etched and tucked into Tony's anus
Morning, Scott. Not really a fan. I've had it twice now, once in bottle and once on draft. I did like it more on draft as it had less pepper, but Dave put it best last night when he said the flavors all tasted artificial. Not a re-purchase for me.
Since we're doing beer talk, last evening I had my third distinct beer from Victory Brewery. It was the Festbier. Not sure why I keep trying, they just aren't for me.
Maybe the fourth will be the charm. Funny how that happens - you get in a rut and feel the need to find SOMETHING from a brewery (or cigar manufacturer, or whatever) until you find one that you like. Hard to just write off an entire 'brand' but sometimes the flavors just aren't for you. Morning, Tony.
That's the same way I feel about Torano. I wanted to like something cause Charlie is such a good guy. Or at least, I thought so before he hung all his employees out to dry.
Morning, Dave. I don't know a whole lot about the situation but sometimes, business is business. What's to say the guy who risked everything at some point in his life shouldn't be able to reap the rewards and ride off in to the sunset? Just my opinion. Can't think of brands I don't care for outside of the ones I've talked about countless times... AJF (site exclusive garbage), Illusione, Viaje...
Yeah, business is business, but a move like that rubs me the wrong way. I'm from a mindset of you take care of the people who got you where you are, you don't dump them aside as soon as they help you reach a big step like that. But I know that's just me, and in the business world, I would be in the minority.
