    Wheel of Time series

    I felt quite the opposite, that the parts at the end obviously written by Jordan were much richer.

    Wheel of Time series

    I'm glad Sanderson finished the series, but now having read it all I was much less a fan of his writing than Jordan's, and I think the parts of the book obviously written by Jordan, or at least more thoroughly outlined by him, were far superior. The last battle was pretty fucking well done...

    I really liked Rye on Rye, but I'm on a rye kick at the moment. It's aged in charred oak barrels from Templeton Rye. Now that I've had one fresh, I might see how the other bottle I have ages. We'll see if I have that much self control lol

    I actually found Optimator kind of sweet, unless I'm thinking of another beer.

    Got a bottle of the 2013-1 batch for Christmas, promptly chilled and drank it. Fantastic beer. This batch was 12% abv, definitely a little boozy on the nose, but the rye makes it so damn smooth.

    Yeah, I read about those different barrel-aged DL releases. Sounds fucking awesome. Wish I didn't have to go to Indiana to get it.

    KBS in April. I've always wanted to try CBS - do they release it a certain time of year or was it a special thing?

    KBS is fucking fantastic. My favorite beer. Only got one bottle last year, going to keep an eye out and try for more this time around.

    London

    Oh yeah, definitely walk up Oxford street. Make a stop into Selfridges to check out a department store which seems normal, but in fact everything they sell is designer and costs thousands of pounds. And if you like cars, take a left when you get to the end of Oxford street down Park Lane...

    The differences are pretty stark. New Belgium is employee owned and I seem to remember it being listed as one of the best places to work recently. Rogue's employees were being treated so badly, they tried to unionize.http://beervana.blogspot.com/2011/06...ogue-ales.html And anyway, I'm not...

    They make mediocre beer (and quite a bit of just plain bad beer), but price it quite a bit higher than similar products to try and seem exclusive. And from what I've read they're shitty to their employees. It really seems like the brewery was just started by some former Nike execs to "cash in"...

    London

    British Museum is cool. I don't know if any of the outdoor markets are open during the winter, but they're cool too (e.g. Portobello Market). Pubbing/clubbing can be a blast but probably not with a 16-year-old.

    Been drinking Jim Beam Rye almost exclusively lately. Quite good for the price. I'd like to try more rye blends, but seems like there's a pretty big price jump to "nicer" stuff.

    Album of the Year (2012)

    I like where your head's at. Other top ones for me include: Lord Huron - Lonesome Dreams (holy fuck so good) Freelance Whales - Diluvia (a bit of a change, but a fun album for sure) The Royal Concept - The Royal Concept EP (cheating since it's just an EP, but I love their sound although it's...

    I think I've seen beers by them here. I need to pick one up, never tried it. But I love me some rye beer and rye whiskey. Pulling out an accidentally-aged La Fin du Monde tonight. Moved a few months ago and forgot I stashed some beer in a box.

    This. I'm pretty afraid that Goose Island (and particularly BCBS) may end up in the same downward spiral of quality.

    Note from Tuco on the FoH PVP Guild Update: We're no longer playing GW2 as a guild. Please read the latest posts in this thread to hook up with people. It seems that every MMO that comes out this forum creates an upstart 'forum guild' for it that invariably fizzles out in a few months due...
