lol, that is one way to spend your time. Probably way more research than is worth doing but being able to tag each beer with the states they distribute to would be a cool sort feature.

Man, that would be fun. I've got family in Petaluma and Novato AND a place to stay in Santa Rosa... but I also have a 5 month old and a wife who would not be impressed.

The Neverending Shit

The source I was using is from 2013 and wasn't very detailed. Laws could have relaxed and/or there could be some exceptions to the rules.

Did a little digging and found more info on stupid beer laws in Oklahoma: If a brewery wants to sell their own beer on premise they must sell that beer to a distributor and rebuy it from the distributor. In some cases the beer never even leaves the brewery so they basically pay the distributors...

Only data I have is that is 0.2 gallons of beer consumed per 21+ year old for 2013. The most consumed, Vermont with 15.1 gallons consumed per 21+ year old. *edit: And that is a good point about the drinking landscape. WA for example is amongst the top in breweries-per-capita but is only in...

Oh, and one of the worst is South Dakota. They only produced 4000 bbls of beer in 2013 out of their 10 breweries. Bend, OR probably has 10 breweries that each produced more than 4000 bbls of beer.

Yeah, they are pretty bad. Alabama only JUST legalized homebrewing in 2013 and it was actually a major fight in the state legislature. But there are bad states (as far as craft beer is concerned) littered throughout the country. I don't remember the specifics but I was listening to a podcast...

Not at all, some states are still facing crippling prohibition-era laws that really stifle any growth in the craft beer scene. Some examples: Alabama- 13 total breweries (0.4 per 100,000 people) Arkansas- 13 total breweries (0.6 per 100,000) Louisiana- 11 total breweries (0.3 per 100,000)...

In the Mike Singletary era the Niners lost a game to Atlanta because a dude didn't fall down after an INT and was stripped. But iirc the situation was a little different because the Niners could have kneeled out the clock (or left only a few seconds). Maybe it was my PTSD kicking in but at the...

I've been looking to find some dark lagers as well because one of our upcoming homebrew-club competitions is a Schwarzbier. The selection is admittedly limited, so far I have had the Uinta Black Lager and the Sam Adams Black Lager both of which seemed pretty tasty but I *think* were kind of...

This is when I find out the legal limit of how long you can have a barking dog (5 minutes per hour from 8:00am-9:00pm for me) and I make the most of the allotted time. I have a mini-aussie that loves to bark but so far it seems that I am the only person who is actually annoyed by it (it probably...

I like brewers yeast on popcorn.

nm, guess the NFL wants the Brady v Sherman "you mad bro?" storyline.

Picture them as if the person just farted. So much better. *edit Also works really well with the new Matthew McConaughey Lexus commercial.

Lets Laugh At These Poor Seahawks Fans Who Left The Game Early

Last one for the night, 2014 Zure Van Tildonk Blonde Sour by Brouwerij Hof Ten Dormaal. This one is more funky than sour, to be expected with a spontaneously-fermented beer. Classic Brett characteristics in this one. Also low on the head retention but super effervescent. Right now the Brett...

Colts win because Wilson v Luck storyline.

I just got a Nexcon and I like it a lot so far. It does get warm if I'm using the phone while charging (e.g. listening to a podcast or watching my baby monitor) but otherwise the heat is a non-issue. It doesn't get any warmer than if I were to spend a lot of time watching a video or playing a...

Sherman ain't hurt. Either he gets a big pick and is all like "ha ha I fooled you" or they lose the game and he's like "umm... it's because I was hurt, yeah that's it."

Yeah, there is a decent amount of carbonation, a little low but not bad, but zero head retention.

Continuing my adventures into sours withUinta's 21st Birthday Suit. Super citrus tart and sourness on this one. I like this a lot right now but would be curious to try it again with an additional 1-3 years of age on it (looks like my beer was bottled in early March of 2014). Would have liked to...

haha *edit Okay, that one was on Wilson

If Seattle loses this game all Seahawks fans are going to talk about the entire offseason is how the refs screwed them all season long. Remember, it isn't that their team doesn't commit penalties, it is that the refs never call them for the other team.

Not converting these opportunities to TD's is going to come back to haunt GB. This is pretty much how the last NFC Championship game started for Seattle, and we know they are a 2nd half team.

In fairness that wasn't on Wilson.

haha

With how much the crowd was already effecting the offense that was the last thing you wanted to do.

Yeah, that is the hardest part about getting into sours. I can deal with the price (I think of them more along the lines of buying a bottle of wine instead of comparing them to other beers) but when combined with the possibility that they might suck makes it hard to pull the trigger on them...

Drinking a 2013Devil's Kriek by Double Mountain Brewingright now. Would highly recommend. I think I'm going to be delving more into the world of sours, my love of hops hasn't waned but a couple of ventures to Russian River has pointed my palate in a new direction.

Are you saying both Rodgers and Wilson have the same taste in women? Because I am on board with that theory...

Actually from what I have heard one of the big factors he is considering is that he doesn't want to go out all busted and playing bad because he is concerned about his image, most specifically in relation to his ability to continue to generate revenue from doing commercials and what not. His...

If she didn't tell you straight up, I can help you out here. Her father caught wind of you (can't remember, did you meet her parents?) and said "I don't care how nice he is, my daughter is NOT dating a guy with devil horns."

Yeah but it is really fun to go to a sports bar in the PNW and accuse them of pumping in sound. Especially if it is full of est. 2012 fans.

I hear what you are saying and I readily admit I know next to nothing about his possible head coaching credentials. I just have been quietly worried about what kind of moves York was going to make now that he has his shiny new stadium and doesn't need to win over voters anymore. Plus I have PTSD...

Jim Tomsula to be promoted to San Francisco 49ers head coach - ESPN Mixed feelings on this, he might have a chance at being good but I do think York is going to "cost-effective" route.

Hopefully Gase learned a lot under Peyton's tutelage.

That is what I thought when I first saw those pants, but they are actually a nice stretchy material made to look like jeans. Also we are using cloth diapers and they definitely give her a Kardashian butt so most pants that are for her age range look like they fit tight, it is either than or the...

If a dude banged my wife who didn't know she was married I would probably buy him a beer to thank him for showing me the truth about my wife. If a dude banged my wife who did know she was married but didn't know me, I would make him buy me a beer while I thanked him for showing me the truth...
