If you're that close to CLand you should swing by Cornerstone brewery in the spring (It's in Berea on front street) and try the Erie Blue.

It's fuckin awesome.

I paid for this a few months ago when I backed JOY's latest EP, but the shirt just arrived today! Sorry not sorry for the instagram photo.



I also got these cute 'lil photo hangers from Target because I'm tired of the art situation in my bedroom, and I thought these would be an easy way to switch stuff out.

Sam Adams IPAs aren't bad. They're just "ok, whatever". I'd just grab Boston Lager if I'm getting Sam.

I'd see these two beers next to each other on a shelf and I'd 100% not give a poo poo or think that Sam Adams was trying to knock off their design. Not kidding, that design's nowhere near close enough to be considered a ripoff. If anything, I've seen dozens of beers with this kind of aesthetic, so does that mean they're all ripping each other off?

And Amish Paradise sounds a lot like Gangsta's Paradise. A heck of a lot actually. Like most of Weird Al's stuff, it's so unoriginal.

Well Sam Adams was a patriot and patriots were rebels. I assumed that's what they were going for. When you browse beers a lot and only two labels look so similar...yeah, one kinda ripped off another. It's nbd though.

I bought a set of $20 cut-to-fit floor mats last year when I couldn't get a set of Weathertech, three of them are in my car - the passenger and rear set mats. The driver's floormat I would have had to cut completely apart to get it to fit under my clutch pedal and around the dead pedal, but the rest fit fine, so I'll probably just get the fronts. I still haven't made up my mind.

Hi I want to start a microbrewery! Oh, my idea for flavors? Let's just put a shitload of hops into all the beers until they taste like you're licking the hops dust out of a bushel of ground hops, gently caress all the other flavors.


Someone else on this forum said it before me but I hate the trend of adding more and more hops into beers just to be unique. I also equally dislike the trend of making darker and darker beers with higher and higher ABV values.

Can't a man just get some solid options on a nice light lager?

Also recently I was given bottles of each of these because my boss likes to go in on hand selected single barrels. Each were hand selected and have his name on the label which is cool. (Pictures not mine)

Chill, there are levels of hoppy-ness. It's not like it's not like every microbrew IPA is hop-rape. You're looking at two levels right there.

You'd really hate this one, it's a blend of 19 different types of hops. It was like 4-5/bottle at the liquor store. It was ok.
