Big breaking NFL news, instead of Super Bowl L, they are taking a one year break from roman numerals and going with Super Bowl 50.

You mean like San Francisco or Long Beach? Yeah, those places don't have fucked up economies at all.

Yes, a growler is generally a 64oz, or sometimes a 2-Liter (~68oz) container and is a very popular choice for breweries to use for off premise sales. In Florida, a brewery can fill either a 32oz or 128oz container off the tap for off premise sales, but the distributors and InBev have fought very...

Man, you people getting all worked up over a rankings list on the internet.

The gas station growler fill has been coming into a lot of gas stations in my area as well. Tricky part is remembering to bring your growlers. If I'm heading to the brewery I usually remember to grab it but if I am just out and about the odds of having an empty are low. However, one of these...

You know that losing Jorah is bad for Dany simply because Tywin orchestrated his removal from her side and pretty much every strategical move that guy makes is money. Well, up until he either shares a glass or wine with Oberyn and/or underestimates Varys and/or Tyrion.

Sports franchises are becoming the new toy and status symbol for bored billionaires. I think the price tag the Bills fetch will be just as shocking as the Clippers deal (relatively speaking for the media market, so like $59.95 and a years worth of poutine).

Yeah, many breweries release a "winter seasonal" without any further accompanying information as to what style it is. But generally dark, malty and boozy is what you can expect.

So, in the past two weeks I have done 5 batches. Imperial Stout (aged on bourbon soaked oak chips) Northwest Pale Ale Blonde American Wheat Wee Heavy Those are in addition to the DIPA and Saison-Brett I brewed earlier in the month. All 5 gallon batches, I'm going to have a lot of beer...

I think you are underestimating the amount of engineering that goes into shaving weight off of road-bike parts.

This is true for players not in the substance abuse program (haven't had a previous positive test and/or arrest), but once you are in the program you are subject to year round testing. Players not in the program are only subject to testing for substance abuse drugs from April 20th-August 9th.

The logic of the laws in 1933 when they were enacted or the logic behind them now? I could get into a long diatribe about the current state and necessity of the three-tiered system but it is currently too sunny to be writing an essay. The documentaryBeer Warsis an interesting watch and really...

Rumor is they are in fact trying to use this tactic in other states, either to reverse previous dismantlings of three-tiered laws, or to prevent their dismantling from happening. Like I said earlier in the thread, one of their new political tactics to fight craft beer is to try toprotectabuse...

Big Blow Dealt to Craft Breweries in Florida | Beer Street Journal Wonder if Cigar City will follow through on their threat to move out of state.

You could try productivity-based bonuses. My management staff's monthly bonus is based on managing labor and food costs. I also run contests that give the whole crew a chance to increase their pay based on actionable items. For example, if I notice chicken-wing sales are slowing down I'll offer...

For videos on the computer I use XBMC. For streaming to devices (Roku, phone, etc) I use Plex.

Yes you can do a lot with 17k, but if you can afford to drop 17k on a bike I doubt you give a shit that it cost the same as a Camry. Also, since we are talking about exchanging money for goods and services and what not, let's not forget that the bike is worth exactly what someone is willing to...

Sorry, maybe it wasn't clear, couldn't brew his beer in the current breweries of the big three. Basically he was saying if he walked into an AB brewery with Lagunitas IPA recipe in hand they probably couldn't brew it there because the equipment is so specifically tailored to making a Budweiser...

Head brewer from Lagunitas thought that the breweries for the Big 3 are so specialized to their specific product that they probably couldn't produce a beer like his even if they wanted to. Now they do have the financial resources to build new breweries of course and they actually have some very...

With the way InBev is using its financial and political weight to fight craft beer at every turn (since they can't do it on good-old fashion product quality and innovation), I have a hard time supporting them in any way. Anheuser-Busch begins push against Stone Bill | Drink. Blog. Repeat...

So not only does Oakland have the best record in baseball, but their +96 run differential is double the next closest team (Colorado).

Had a beer tasting event hosted by one of my distributors. I don't think I have seen anyone else in the Seattle area in this thread, but if you are out there, get to the Bellevue Brewing Co. and get some of their Triple Wheat IPA. An absolutely amazing beer, and checking in at a 12.2% that...

Yeah, I don't get the "apps don't matter" attitude. They might not matterfor youbut that doesn't make everyone else a sheeple. I have 5 apps that I use regularly in which there flat out isn't a Windows mobile version of them nor a mobile website with similar functionality. I use several other...

I'd say they one major difference was that in the book there were several representatives from Earth that went on the alien-roller-coaster-ride, where the movie just had Jodie Foster. Made the "did it really happen?" ending a lot different in the book but overall didn't change much of what Sagan...

She's cute and she talks to me.

I've twice had to change my bookmark for the message forums I frequent the most.

So I am going to say the Bacon and Beer Classic probably isn't worth it. There was a good selection of breweries, but they limit you to 25 2oz pours (over 4 hours) and the lines are so long you'd be lucky to get them all. On top of that most of the food has longer lines than the beer and is...

As best as I can tell, Verizon doesn't allow any mvno to use their LTE network. As a matter of fact, you can't even use a VZW 4G phone on an mvno unless you flash it for 3G only. That is what some quick Googling tells me anyways.

I don't own a Samsung but I knew I wouldn't be buying one of their phones after today. I have a friend who busted up his S4 screen and asked me for help because the repair place wanted $250 to fix it. I looked around and the cheapest screen/digitizer I could find was $200. Same part for my N4, $75.

I've got a couple of guys trying to convince me to buy their pizza place next town over. They are pulling a move that I see a lot in the restaurant business- "Our business sucks, but ifYOUtook it over it would make tons of money because we don't know the restaurant business, you do." They try to...

Turns out it was a Golden Greek Tortoise. Most definitely not native and probably a lost or purposely released pet. Had quite the run-around trying to find a home for the little guy. Humane society and a couple of other no-kill shelters in the area didn't want to take him (not set up to care for...

I found that even 10 years later a lot of people I went to highschool with hadn't really changed that much anyways (I didn't go to my reunion but run into many of them around town). Maybe eventually when we are old and wrinkly it will be interesting to see where people have ended up, but I...

My 4th grade teacher had turtles in her classroom. We took them out to recess to play all the time. They liked hunting crickets. Also: Kid took his turtle out to play and lost track of him because A.D.D or something. /shrug

Google Fu tells me there are turtles around here, but the most common is a painted turtle which this guy looks nothing like. The other is very uncommon, a western pond turtle which looks closer to this guy, but my turtle doesn't have any lines radiating down the shell. To the best I can tell, I...

So I came home to find my dog gnawing on a turtle. Don't think she hurt the little guy but I literally have no idea as to what to do with it. I am pretty sure there aren't wild turtles in the area so I think he has to be a pet. Would like to keep him alive long enough to find the owner. Any...

I'm heading to theBacon and Beer Classicin Seattle this weekend. It sounds awesome, but I'm a little worried that since it is a nationwide thing that only the bigger craft breweries will be represented. Hopefully some of the smaller Seattle area stuff will be there but if not I'm sure I will be...

The 2012 draft would beg to differ.

NDT said on his podcast that he tried to be a part of the writing but quickly realized he was far out of his element and gave up. The two people doing the writing were 2 of the 3 writers for the original Cosmos (with the third being Sagan). Was very disappointed that at some point during this...

So apparently Seattle Beer Week is 10 days long. Your move other beer markets.
