If you haven't seen Hoosiers, watch it! It's good.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is terrific and about a subject I care little for, so I'm definitely going to read this one.

Yes, please!

I always meant to watch that and never got around to it before it was cancelled. Lawson also wasn't bad on the show she was on before Angel From Hell (something to do with baseball?), but I'd like to see her in a quality show again.

I reject the premise of the question. Humanity (as a whole) isn't inherently good - it's mostly evil - but there are always some people who shake off the inherent evil and act as shining examples of good.

Okay, sure… Does this mean Maggie Lawson will have something good to do again?

The first beer I really liked was Pyramid Hefeweizen. I think Hefeweizens are an excellent introduction to craft beer.

Yes, they do. Unfortunately, it no longer ends in a beer barrel.

A Brewers World Series would set record highs in my household.

The Red Sox series was a sweep, so it didn't have the advantage of Game 7 drama.

Must be a some-other-part-of-the-country thing.

Wait, are oysters in stuffing a thing? That sounds weirder to me than this Flying Jacob. I would give Flying Jacob a chance.

Good luck!

Maybe Spotted Cow, if you're ever in Wisconsin?

Midnight Sun: "Panty Peeler"

Alaskan Smoked Porter is a good American Rauchbier. It's availability is pretty poor, though.

Yum, mole.

There's plenty you can do to make a beer that is not bland and not incredibly bitter. In the same vein, you can make pleasantly spicy food without going all-out with the spice.

Well, my recommendations are mostly Alaska-based, 'cause that's where I live…

Isn't it entirely possible that someone is both a craft brewing drinker that wasn't introduced to craft brewing through an IPAs and isn't a mainstream lager drinker?
