I know they are a beer company so they cannot say 16 year old girls... but like Bartle and James wine coolers of old and Zima this is marketed to teenage girls.

I thought 21 year olds just loved cheap beer so you can chug more of it as competition with other people than the “flavor” of it.

Current millenial here. I ascribe to many beer flavors -from light lagers to IPAs to darker ales to saisons to sours. Belgian, German, Japanese, Mexican, American, English...give me all the beer. But holy hell are some of them BAD. Like anything with a bud light label on it.

Does it want to get paid for working 5 hours a day, take a lot of selfies, proclaim its ‘uniqueness’, and whine about student loans - while being indistinguishable from every other beer?

Sun King’s Sunlight Cream Ale is pretty tasty on a hot summer day.

I would respectfully disagree about the type of beer that a Monday Beer should be on some counts. I would prefer a Monday Beer be complex and heavy, so as to discourage having too many of them. Then again, for me, Monday is a solo night while weekends are social. I’d rather have a beer meant to be focused on when I’m…

I prefer my cream ales to be tiny and slightly skunky.

I’ve had Spotted Cow and rather enjoyed it. But also, I’ve always heard it called a farmhouse ale... though of course I really don’t know what that is either and whether or not it’s a kind of cream ale.

It never occurred to me (and I never tried to track down an explanation until now) that the space baby at the end was him. I always thought that he was meeting the space baby, and the aliens were being revealed to us. No particular reason.

One that gets more credit than it should, in my opinion, is Spotted Cow from New Glarus.  That's only available in Wisconsin.  In Minnesota, I prefer Rise to the Top and Castle Danger Cream Ale, but bot of those are maybe more malt forward than the description implies.

This is what I’m afraid of: Picking up a book recommended and finding it utterly indecipherable and then having to question if I missed something or if it’s just not for me or if it’s just a complicated writing exercise that was never meant for anyone except those fascinated by writing exercises.

Hot take coming through: I thought House of Leaves was probably the biggest literary circle jerk I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading.

That’s one of the smuggest ain’t- I-cool author photos I’ve ever seen. Killing me with effortful mystique and hipness, dude.

i always took the room to be representational of some, like, fourth dimension shit we couldn’t understand, a la the black lodge, and not a literal “petting zoo” - though i guess it’s interesting to think of him as being observed at the end. i thought he was just processing it himself.

Yeah, it’s like pondering about the first Star Trek moving being made today.

That’s almost an exact synopsis of the ending of the novel. In fact I recall that the ending originally would have included a monologue describing what was going on but Kubrick scrapped it.

There are only two things I know about T-Tops — everybody who’s ever owned a car with them complains about them leaking, and they’re still the single coolest type of automotive roof and I desperately want a car with them, even though you have to go aftermarket these days to get them:

Oh man I love T-Tops. I’ve never actually owned a car with T-Tops, but it’s always been a dream of mine. Sooooooo cool.

I wish T-tops would come back on more cars.

I assume I didn’t like the book Dr. Sleep because I barely remember a thing about it. It might have been a good novel, showing what happened to Danny Torrance after the horrifying events of his childhood, but... it wasn’t.
