nah but craft beer aint for everyone, it's cool. that said, a lot of the microbrews tend to waaaay overdo it on the hops just because HOPS BRO, and it can ruin otherwise good flavors.

Mat_Drinks posted:

I used to think that I didn't really like craft beers, but then I just realized that hops overwhelms my palate so drinking IPAs and Pales isn't really for me because I don't get any of the nuance. It'd be like eating a ghost pepper then trying to eat pie or something... What pie? I'm eating pie? All I taste is fire so hot that I may be melting on the inside.

There has been a very obvious arms race in craft brew IPAs with "finishing hops" and people who drink those IPAs have been eased into it over the last 5 years or so. It really is like hot food: you definitely get desensitized to it and probably end up wanting more MORE MORE.

That leaves me not ordering IPAs at all, because you never know what you're going to get but chances are high it's been finish hopped so much that your mouth will feel like it's coated with hop oil after drinking half of one.

I just had a craft Pilsner last week that doesn't have a tab on top... You have to use an old school church key to open it. While that's totally a hipster thing to do the beer was super drinkable and good. And the name of the beer was 'Churchkey' har har.

With all this booze chat it seems like everyone must be enjoying Christmas Eve Eve :). Cheers!

I'm with you: hops can just gently caress right off. I too discovered Belgian beers, making my life much better.
And Christmas Eve is still a ways off for me - got to slog it through the (largely symbolic, as revmoo noted) workday first. then I'm off until the 5th. I plan to watch movies and play video games. And maybe install the old living room TV in the bedroom, if all the parts come in.

I have none of those things but plenty of these other things.

Edit: My coworker just took a call from an rear end in a top hat. He asked what our hours were today, she told him we close at 5. He asked if we could stay open until 7 so he could get here after work. When she said know he fired off a stream of profanity so loud I could hear it and ended it with "MERRY loving CHRISTMAS." And hung up.

Yay!

Delicious.

My only complaint with really hoppy beers is that if they sit on the shelf for very long at all the hop flavor turns into this really sickly syruppy taste that kind of ruins the beer.

I'm kinda on again off again with IPAs but gently caress me sideways I found black IPAs and they are loving delicious. Also, if some knob head craft beer rear end in a top hat gives you poo poo about like macros just punch them in the god drat face. There are days I'm envious of someone that just drinks something like Bud Light or whatever. Their drink if choice can be bought anywhere and for cheap.

You have seriously made my holiday season by giving that cat a good home. Thank you.

I think I'm about to ruin it :(

Stepdad left the front door open while he was loading stuff in his truck. Haven't seen him since, and found fresh cat paw prints in the flowerbed next to the front door. :smithicide: I know he's good at hiding, but we've spent 4 hours looking for him. Litter box hasn't been touched today, neither has his food. Talked to neighbors, looked through bushes and a couple of yards. Talked to the neighbor behind us since I saw his garage door open, he let me look through his garage.

I've got posters out, and I have a carrier with the shirt he was laying on last night in it sitting on the front porch with some food in it and a blanket covering the top/side openings. I know indoor cats tend to stick pretty close to whatever house they get out of; my next door neighbor has holes in their fence and a deck, about to go over there and ask to look under the deck.

He's pretty spooked and hiding under furniture again. I don't know why he decided to make a run for it, since AC said he'd never shown any real interest in going outside. I guess the whole "hey wide open front door with nobody around for several minutes, lots of rabbits running by in the yard, and I haven't gotten the loving deed to the house yet" bit was too inviting.

Hopefully he'll make an appearance tonight, he was settling in pretty well (if not a bit skittish whenever there was a loud noise). Also hopefully this will teach asshat stepdad to actually be a little more careful. :argh:

The only SEAT dealership in Coventry is a combo SEAT/Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge affair, and I cannot exaggerate how pathetically little traction any of those brands have with the buying public in the UK. Getting bits for my old SEAT was half infuriating because it took forever, and half heartbreaking because I was almost always the only customer there.

I'm pretty sure he's going to keep hiding until we hand over the deed to the house. Kind of like Squeak would constantly box the 90 pound dog until we signed over all our bank accounts to him.

But seriously I'm amazed how fast he took to the dog. Dog sniffed his butt when he first arrived, and he hid for a bit. The next day he walked up to the dog and head butted him a few times, then walked under him. I never knew dogs were capable of "what the gently caress just happened?" looks, and the dog seems a little uncomfortable with The Dude trying to cuddle with him. Probably more because our dog is really slow to trust, and kind of slow in general (he took to rear end in a top hat Casserole almost immediately, but she works with animals daily).
