Its actually great because you can get all over court ave quickly and go from imported belgian ales to home cooked meals on a nice night in the town and not bust your budget.

i dunno about those imported belgian ales like stella artois and heineken, they're a little too rich for my blood

Just lol if you go down to Court Ave to go to a bar that proves you don't know poo poo about Des Moines Jastiger.

All the bars there are too bright, too loud and too packed with young professional types paying six to eight bucks a pour so they can pretend they're "out on the town" because they are on literally the only street in the middle of the city that is busy past eleven on a Friday night.

There are establishments down town that are worth drinking at. None of them are on Court Ave for a reason. I only drink at townie bars and seedy dives because I'm not insufferable. Hell the best cocktail bar isn't even on Court Ave if you're the type who wants a $15 old fashioned made with Blanton's and unicorn blood.

Dahls was unfortunately run out of business by incompetent management who tried to compete by gambling it all and losing badly. They had built their name on being a home town local chain that offered exceptional customer service from long time employees and a quiet shopping experience despite being a little pricier than HyVee.

Rather than doubling down on better serving their existing (and quite loyal) customer base by renovating existing locations to then advertising like crazy to bring in new shoppers they spent every dime the company had to build several huge new stores in parts of the metro they had never operated in before. The new stores quickly failed because they didn't have the low prices or name recognition to compete with regional giant HyVee and it quickly bankrupt the company. They sold off the new buildings to Price Chopper but most of those didn't last for more than a few months either.

The worst part is that they offered retirement packages to their long time employees entirely in the form of company stock so when they closed down the people who had made a career with the company completely lost their retirement. I was shocked and sad when I came home after being gone five years to find the Dahls I had biked to as a kid to get donuts and soda was boarded up.

The Dahls story is really sad, tbh. They hosed up.

As for The Red Monk, lol its not $7 for a bottle of beer. They have Chimay for like 3.50 and it owns, and thats just the most recognizable one. Its a belgian bar above a traditional english like pub. Its awesome.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

quote:

The capital of this so-called flyover state may not top your to-visit list, but Des Moines is a great place to live and raise a family. Elegant Colonial and Tudor-style homes built in the early 1900s hide in quiet neighborhoods minutes from buzzy downtown, where lofts and condos draw the millennial crowd. Many families with kids flock to the suburbs where new housing developments continually pop up.

And there's plenty to do and see in Des Moines. Cultural events and festivals draw all ages to the downtown area. One-of-a-kind shops, locally owned restaurants and hip bars enliven entertainment districts. And plenty of bike trails and parks (and even a few lakes) provide opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The metro area of more than 600,000 has a small-town, know-your-neighbor feel to it. It's a place where you'll bump into people you know at the grocery store and get invited to backyard barbecues. Newcomers, take note: The people of Des Moines are some of the nicest you'll ever meet.

this would have very accurately described the Sacramento metro area about twenty or thirty years ago. all those "new housing developments in the suburbs popping up" have utterly ruined the area permanently though, its all just big-box-retail garbage strip malls and tract housing as far as the eye can see, and what non-mass-produced culture there is left gets overrun by an army of basic-rear end suburbanites every weekend, desperate for something more stimulating than Applebees, Kohls, and Elephant Bar.

what im saying is, jastiger's efforts to evangelize about his hometown will ultimately destroy it

You should come with me to that place. It is good with all the craft belgian beers. The best part is thats just the second floor of the english pub. Two bars in one!

Also most of the beer served there is in bottles because they dont have affordable belgian kegs.

Number 9 out of how many? A TOP TEN CITY nearly equal to mega cities like Boston, Seattle, and Colorado Springs. Short commutes, good jobs, high education, and a well built infrastructure make this city a POWER HOUSE when it comes to quality of life in America. All made affordable and accessible because this is a city that knows how to plan and manage itself. So, come on down, pull up a chair, have a nice Steak De Burgo and Exile Ruthie lager, and enjoy the culture in this Gem of a city. BEST IN THE MIDWEST! And no its alright, Jastiger will pay.

:toxx: Jastiger will buy a beer for any goon that comes to Des Moines to share in this bad rear end city.

are you seriously so obsesses about your lovely rear end state that you feel the need to post countless topics like this? your state is made up of corn and pig farms. loving disgusting

accidentally posted this in the "south sucks" jastiger thread instead of this one:

you guys know that one atmosphere song where he raps about the midwest being nice in its own peaceful way, and that he has traveled all over but he loves minneapolis and never wants to live anywhere else

i feel like that's what jastiger is trying to do, and just crashing and burning every time because instead of just playing up why he likes it, he has to take it a step further and try to argue that it's objectively better and come on bro lmao its a square of corn and pigs with two small, nice, but forgettable mostly suburban cities
