Mornin' folks.

Morning, Dusty.
Hey Steve....another great gif. I can never find shit.
Seems to be a fetish

Not sure fetish is the right word, but I'm not gonna argue with an expert on the subject.
See what I'm sayin'? You can't post without one of those fucking things attached, now piss-off, Q-bert!

Big fuckin' deal.

Great, now I can't tell if you're mad or sarcastic...

Ha! See?

Anyway, not mad. Scott just trying to keep the spirit of 'Tuesday', but I'm just not feeling it today.
Why not?  Has the holiday become too commercial for you?
The next thing you know, Hallmark will have a greeting card for it.
With a free sample of coffee-burger rub stapled to it   ;D

Hey Joe, you were posting the other day about how you're not used to the higher abv craft scene, right?

The brewery down the street from me, Carton Brewing, has a session IPA.  4.2%, solid bitterness/flavor/aroma, nice and light. They also have a handful of other session styles, including a Milk stout and a salted veggie/fruit ale.  And probably a few others, but I haven't tried them all yet.
Will, we weren't talking about beers with an abv THAT high, geez. Do you think we're drunks?

You act like that's a bad thing.  And you can't be a drunk from drinking beer.  Just an enthusiast.
Just bustin' Tuesday balls Will, I enjoy stouts/beers with 9-11% abv. Plenty of great stuff out there right now

I usually don't brew so high because of the increased time needed for aging and increased chances of the fermentation getting stuck/repitch/infected, etc.  I have done a few high gravity Belgians that ended up around there that were great, though.

My wife brews/makes her own kombucha (sp??) which is kinda interesting to watch.  Somewhat similar to brewing beer since it involves fermentation and whatnot.  I'm intrigued by beer brewing but know that I'll get sucked in.
Uh-Oh!

Nope, won't go there.  Involves too much time/energy.  Opening a bottle is about as much energy as I'm willing to put in to my boozing.  I don't even like having to find a bottle opener.  Why can't everyone just use twist tops?

I think Canadians would demand they come in metric threading... easier just to not have them at all. idk.
The Canadians can GFTs!

BTW, I had a Tat Black PL on Friday night that was fantastic. Been fixated on the CGs but damn they're still great
Agreed...the CGs are amazing, but the PLs still hold their own very well.  Can't wait to sit some down for a year or 2!

It's nice knowing that once you smoke through the CGs, the petite lanceros will always be there to fall back on.

Do you guys smoke?  I just hoard... ;)  But agreed, I need to get a jar of PLs to just bury and age, just waiting for next spring or so.

I'm thoroughly amused every time Lori's name comes up, such a great punching bag to have.  She's the new Dan.  He and peanut butter are sooo last month.

I could probably send you a couple 'aged' PLs to try.  I have one box open (though almost empty) and another still closed.  I THINK it's from sometime in 2012 but I'd have to check.

Indeed, ordered from CAYP late July, 2012, which means the open box is from before that, even.  Went crazy on that site for a while there.  I haven't noticed a TON of change in just the couple of years outside of what tends to happen with the flavors being a little more blended together, a little milder overall, etc.  Which I like.
