And how'd them bees get the lady pregnant anywho?

I'm coming home from Vermont tomorrow having exhausted over three months of beer money. The Stowe region is a seriously good time if you're a beer nerd. We hit up Alchemist, Prohibition Pig, Lost Nation, Hill Farmstead and a bunch of others. Sadly I'm basically out of money and have to head home without ticking off every stop I wanted to see but, eh, we got to the must-see ones. :beerpal:

I dunno I think 1RM are dumb unless you're getting paid for it. You should be strong your whole life, not just for a 5 year period until you gently caress something up so badly you can't get in the squat rack anymore.

Yeah this is gonna be great. I marinade the salmon and then grill it on the 'cue (over charcoal of course). Applewood smoke slow grilled whole salmon with a sweet tomato/vinegar/soy/garlic marinade? Oh my god, it's so amazingly good.

I wasn't trying to say other fish weren't Pacific, I just hastily edited my post when I thought it looked like I was saying King/Chinook weren't, which would make me look like an even bigger dumbass.

Oh. Well the Whole Foods farmed Atlantic salmon is amazingly good as well.

And before anyone gets all up in arms 1) I lived in Alaska and ate the freshest stuff you can get 2) the stuff that's responsibly farmed is a much, much healthier animal than something that is at the end of its life that was dying in a net for several hours.

Also Wagyu beef is just really good responsibly farmed beef, so why can't salmon be the same?

you guys ever see these videos about bees?

This first one is about how 30 giant Japanese hornets can kill a hive of 30k bees

But then this one is about how the bees have figured out a really awesome defense strategy against the hornets.

too late, I'm up in arms. Sarah palin could see russia from her house, and your residency in alaska has not made you into a salmon expert

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/apr/01/is-farming-salmon-bad-for-the-environment

It's not just about the health of the fish you eat, it's about the massive negative environmental impact of salmon farming. There is a very, very tiny number of "responsible" salmon farmers starting to use methods that may mitigate some of the damage, but good luck actually finding salmon from them (it will defintely cost way more than what you pay for wildcaught). Meanwhile, Alaska's fishery is the most well-managed and responsible fishery on the planet. And no, you do not have to eat river salmon that are on their spawning run and getting all weird looking and starting to rot from the inside, most alaskan salmon eaten elsewhere in the world are ocean caught fish in their prime.
