Oh by the way "NAT LITE" rules.

If you want to start a tainted water thread, by all means do.

I wondered how long that would float out there without comment.

Everybody knows the joke about how (insert watery beer here) is like making love in a canoe, right?

Yep, and it's served cold so that it can be more easily distinguished from urine.

YO BIGJOHN!! We miss ya, buddy! Hope you and the family and happy and healthy.

John!
How can we NOT make a big deal out of it? Seriously, we miss you dude!

The Beer Thread is Home! In the Why-is-it just-Water Cooler!

I feel special, because I know Amie and the Axiom elves did this on purpose. 61,000 views and they moved the whole darn thread!

obbeer: Got a badly aged batch of Pike Naughty Nellie's the other day. It is usually a beer I really enjoy, but clearly this was past its prime. Way.

Also working my way through a sixpack of Hale's Red Menace (with a picture of the Fremont statue of Lenin on the front). Your basic American Red/Amber beer, I'm sorry to say. Nothing wrong with it, but I just always find those beers to be pretty lifeless.

Okay, I'm going to go get a life now. Or maybe a beer.

whoa!!? everything looks different from how it did last night..

good to see all the regulars in here.. i was looking at my post count, and thought, "man, was i here a lot, or what.??" used to be at least.

things are all well here. just havent been on the computer much anymore. i think i kinda got burned out on it. like i told someone, it was a 'faze'. i still creep every once and a while, but obviously not posting much..

i have some pics to post, eventually, and i helped set up another system for a friend of mine, and we are gonna post those pics as well.. he even topped me by getting a 42" hitachi ultravision plasma. the a$$hole!! hehe

but, this is beer, and i am in the wrong place to talk about that. ya'll take it easy, and i will catch you later.

Never drank urin hot or cold Ill take your word for it.

Gratuitous bump for post #1700.

I had a Rogue Chocolate Stout on draught recently. It was fantastic. It would make a really great dessert beer.

I had the bottled version on my birthday and enjoyed it. I'm sure it's much better on draught.

Went to the fridge and discovered a couple of bottles of this, which my nephew had purchased when here last December.

I dispatched them in honor of Joe VaSSalo. I'm no expert like many of you in this thread, but they sure tasted good to me, and I am now officially schnockered. Here's to you, Joe!
