“Charities” are bound to appear in an indictment sooner or later. Apart from the ingrained American tendency to assume any charity really is serving the public interest in some way, the law affords them favored tax status and other legal advantages. It is inconceivable that they did not figure into the FIFA payoff…

“Put the old, non-sequential bills in a paper grocery sack, then throw it in the trash can (the one with the false bottom that’s on top of a tunnel) that’s in front of FIFA headquarters. Then call me from a pay phone to this burner phone number when it’s been done."

The Nike thing is really interesting. Given the legal extradition battles that are going to take place before any of these guys see American soil, I think the fastest way this will shake FIFA up is for its sponsors to get spooked.

Mostly made up of rich old men.

What, no charitable laundromats?

Same with Congress.

I find myself commenting here more and more, and always in relation to Three Floyds beer. Gumballhead is what every wheat beer in the world wants to be when it grows up. There's just nothing like it.

You were cheated. If you liked Two Hearted, they should have sent you some Hopslam.

I lived in the town where Three Floyd’s is, before it really hit it big.

Oberon is so overrated, it’s underrated.
#mindblown

Oberon just sucks. That’s all there is to it. It’s mediocre at best and I can get better wheats for half the cost. I live in Michigan and am ashamed at Oberon (and Bells in general, to be honest). We have TONS of breweries that blow Bells away in quality (and cost) but they get shunned because they’re not attacking…

I’d be happy to mail ya a Gumball and a Zombie if ya want Will...I live in Indiana, just outside Munster. It should be considered a crime to judge Pale Ale’s if you have never tried Zombie Dust...and Wheat Ale’s if you have never had a Gumball Head for that matter. You’re right on about Oberon btw, nothing special.

Upland is kind of a craft Goose Island though right? They crank out mediocre flagships that keep the lights on (312 and Goose IPA; Wheat and Dragonfly) so they can tinker around with shit they’re among the best in the world at making (barrel-aged stouts and barleywines; sours).

Does it deserve its own day? Probably not. But I live in Chicago and there are two wheat beers everyone goes nuts for in the summertime: Oberon and 312. Despite no ties to the mitten, I find Oberon to be a solid summer brew, and I find 312 to be overrated.

So Yuengling no longer exists in this exercise?

Nashville is not a shitty little town.

Interesting. I grew up on Oberon and still love it. I guess I just haven’t found another wheat beer quite like it. Blue Moon taste like taint, and while Oberon has some orange flavors the other “fruity” wheat beers are just over the top nasty.

If you’re okay with a high alcohol one I cannot say enough good things about Howe Sound’s King Heffy. My favourite wheat beer by far.

Per usual, I have a “If you stumble upon...” recommendation. This is by far the most obscure of my entries, and you’ll never stumble upon this beer. But there is a brewery in a shitty little town in Indiana called Big Woods Brewery, they make a hoppy wheat called Yellow Dwarf, and it is a good damn beer, wheat…

I brought home a few Gumballheads a couple of years ago, along with a few Zombie Dusts. The contrast was pretty extreme. Gumballhead was was very malty and just a touch sweet (and I mean very light, but definitely there). Zombie Dust was definitely hoppy. I loved both and sincerely wish I could get Three Floyd’s out…
