Swoon :)

Swoon :)

I’m of the opinion that one should never wear a short sleeved dress shirt. Too much of a Mormons on the doorstep vibe. Just roll your sleeves and invest in summer weight pants (linen, seersucker). Also, don’t starch your shirts; they won’t breathe at all like that.

As an ardent defender of all things Bucky, I pretend that the wave isn’t a part of our game day traditions.

Checking the site in a panic, it seems like they might not be gone. Staghorn is also on that page (probably the best American Marzen) and I doubt that is gone. Below that is Hometown Blonde, which a friend had at the brewery just a few days ago. I know Strawberry Rhubarb isn’t gone, either, they’ve just been having…

Best in the world isn’t hyperbole; it really is perfect. My understanding is that the R&D sour roll-out and the sour cave took up a lot of man power and resources, so it had to get back-burnered and eventually dropped for the season. I could be wrong, though...NG isn’t the best at social media.

This is the first I’ve…

This is different because what’s specifically being discussed isn’t intimate partner violence. Attacking anyone is bad. Period. IPV (research term, sorry) is defined by the terror and control that’s built up in the relationship. One phd. that I’ve worked with used the phrase that to the victim, it’s just as much about…

Abuse is abuse. Intimate partner violence (which is the term the research field uses, which is much more explanatory) is unique in that it involves the power dynamics and control of a intimate relationship. No one is saying that attacking your brother/sister/neighbor is better or worse than hitting your…

The argument is that domestic violence is especially heinous (*dun dun*) because of the emotional control and trauma that is unique to the relationship dynamics that often perpetuate it. All violent attacks are bad. Domestic violence attacks are also bad and may prompt discussion about the social…

Love a good wheat or wit; nearly every style plays its role, and these are exactly what you want in summer.

...but are they resiny ears? Citrus-forward ears? Are the ears ephemeral and refreshing, or do you feel like you have ears building up on your tongue?

To a point, ABV *can* be a rough measure of how much a beer costs to produce. All of that alcohol comes from somewhere, and while the fermentation from the yeast does make it seem like it “magically appears along the way,” those yeast need to consume fermentable sugars to do their thing.

Will mentions the distribution limitations and his lack of a travel budget in every third column, thereabouts. Saying that he’s *ignoring* the northwest seems a little unfair. (And I’ve love what I’ve had from the great land of Cascadia! FWIW)

Does the line start here?

You definitely did the right thing there, kudos to you.

“Heavily Buffaloed” is my new favorite thing.

Right on! There is an astounding variety of refreshing, not terrible options available to the fans of Bud Light Lime et al, if they’re willing to put fourth a modicum of effort.

Most breweries frown upon shit like this, and have little to no influence on retail mark-up.

Oh, I love malt-forward beers, don’t get me wrong. I’m from the home of New Glarus, a brewery that might as well print “we don’t care about your hopping arms race” trend (yet then they drop Scream double IPA and it’s perfect, so there’s that). I’ll always talk them up for their true-to-style forays into German and…

Not to mention that having him come back in and join Swift to rap the last line of the bridge is the kind of lame cliche that’s so obvious it wouldn’t feel out of place in a Lonely Island song.

Good browns tend to be subtle and balanced and thus have a bit of trouble standing out. Their malt-forwardness pushing hops to a supporting role doesn’t do them a lot of favors in the American market, either. (The top brown on BeerAdvocate is DFH’s India Brown, which is a lovely beer but illustrates my point pretty…
