Fair, and sorry I assumed you weren’t knowledgeable on the subject. There’s a bunch of people on this thread whose knowledge on the subject appear to be based on reading the very one-sided link provided by the author and living down the street from a brewpub.

Call it BS all you want, but I’m telling you it’s a fact. And I’m not knocking craft: I love it, and I drink a ton of it. I just hate the attitude that once a brewer gets successful, and the owners want/need to sell for whatever reason that people all of a sudden hate them.

Whatever floats your boat, but I still think it’s the equivalent of not listening to your favorite band and calling them posers because they got signed to a big contract.

ABI is not the only brewer buying craft breweries. Do a little research.

I normally brush off emotional arguments, but beer is a very personal thing (like you say), so props in this case.

You get a star, but I do have a point to add.

This post is straight bullshit. All of these “brewers formerly known as craft” still brew their beers in the same facilities and in the same way (and probably better, because they can be assisted by the quality labs from the large brewers that own them). And typically, the founders still retain a HUGE amount of…

Apparently it’s not just our wastelines that have gotten bigger in recent decades...

Despite STRONG misgivings, I’m going to recommend the spice vendor from your picture. It’s Penzey’s in Milwaukee, and their stuff kicks ass. Unfortunately, the owner is a very outspoken and intolerant liberal, to the point that a lot people refuse to buy their stuff. Despite being conservative (libertarian...I fucking…

I prefer going to go to our on-site church a few times a week: The church of iron! Nothing like a good workout to get your head right.

There’s no way it’s going to fit...

I’ll just say it. The photo of Trump, Kraft, and Belichick: Is not ONE of those men rich enough to afford a suit that fits? WTF?!

Here’s to you finding a cougar with kids so you can enjoy all the years that come after 9 (I’m told teenagers, especially teenage girls, turn into monsters though). Assuming you’re into your 40s or beyond, don’t make your own kids. The first year is exhausting, and you DO NOT have the stamina after you hit 37 or so.

I got to say the nay-no. Wa-da-ta.

Not that it’s an option for many/any other teams in many/any other sports, but look to my beloved Green Bay Packers. Good luck moving the team or blackmailing the good citizens of said town when it’s basically owned by the city.

You know how some cultures believe having your picture taken steals your soul? That’s exactly what getting hit with this kind of drop shot does to you.

This is the one, and I mean the ONLY one, thing that HamNo and I probably agree on.

Come on, Eli. Just stop into this bar and join me for one for old times sake. I’m sure now that you have things under control, you can quit when you want. Hell, I doubt you even really had a problem.

The vermouth. Cynar is much deeper/complex and more bitter (in a good way), but basically still a flavored and fortified wine like vermouth.

I’ve heard of people able to make a living from being Instagram models, but professional Kinja commentor is a new beast to me.
