Pinkus is solid if a touch yeasty. If you are going the route of available German yellow beer other than the well known ones, Schonramer Pils (old school bavarian brewery run by an American [hey there is a good idea for a post]) is insane. So is widely available Ayinger Jahrhundert (more of an export or helles.) And…

Longfin is great. Try Ninkasi Lux if you see it.

Weed doesn’t make your farts smell worse than normal.

I like an occasional IPA. I don’t love them because I like to get drunk, and when I get drunk on IPA’s, I feel like I am about to shit my pants.

Request for next cocktail recipe: A slug of whiskey.

How can he be having fun if his left hand was just amputated?

At the same time, be reasonable: If you do live in a studio, don’t get a bullmastiff. It will be shitty for you and the dog alike...

As a counterpoint to the “definitely going to be a consolidation,” the US wine industry, which I imagine is viewed as more mature than craft beer, has a million different labels and seems to be doing fine. (Maybe because there is larger range of pricing, so that there are more niches to fill?)

Replace “infinite number of cities” with “incompetent and corrupt supervisors in post industrial shitholes” and you’ve got a point. Surprised City of Bell isn’t in on this. Notice this doesn't happen in the West LA.

If you are anywhere near a body of water that is outside of downtown in the summer, shorts and flip flops are the rule, not the exception.

It might be a me problem, cause I have an uneven wear pattern on the back of the heel, but yeah, after two/three years they are pretty done.

Mine wear out at the heel after two summers, but I guess I walk like a mongoloid.

Your sole hasn't worn through in 9 years?

Rainbow xxxl go to 15 at their top range (so maybe a little small?) A little fratty, but I still love them. Plus they are leather, so they really never stink too bad, so you can ignore the above post.

Don’t count on it. The perverse truth is that as water becomes scarce (i.e., expensive) farmers are motivated to switch to crops that have higher margins (almonds.)

Man, I love helles, and hate that it gets marginalized as the gateway/lawnmower/"our crew loves it after a long day of cleaning tanks" beer. Well crafted yellow beer is the best, and I say that not because I just figured out bud light sucks, but because subtly and refreshment and tradition matter more than dropping a…

If he wants fruit salad in it, remind him that cocktails are drunk, not eaten, but go along with him as far as a thin halfslice of orange or, better, one of lemon peel. Deny him pineapple, cherries, and such truck as you would cyanide. If he asks for sugar, tell him you put it in to begin with, and thereafter be wary…

That's great.

LaRoche is lucky he doesn’t play for Kansas City, where he’d have to be worried about his son being traumatized by George Brett bragging about his past accomplishments.

Its a great sign to see that they have a year round pilsner now in addition to summerfest.
