Let's talk good beer

i caught a ton of sculpin off this jetty in san diego. 2 at a time. they are relatively small fish but come with pointy needle like things all over them (kinda like a croaker only 3x as many).

long story short, i didnt know they were poinsonious and after dehooking 20+ i found myself far out on the jetty getting real dizzy.

the store close to me does a make you own 6 pack so i have been trying a bunch of micros i ve never heard of. nothing really tasty thoo although i feel like ive been stuck on strict diet of hoppy ipas for to long now.

sweetwater brewery out of georgia
saint arnold oktoberfest
full sail brown out of oregon
abita jockamoo (i like)
a bunch more ive forgotten by now

Try the laganitas hop stupid deuce deuce when u see it in the beer store. You will like that for sure

havent seen it yet, been looking, i dont drink alot of sierra nevada anymore but i did drink a torpedo (supposed to be stupid hoppy) and it was okay .. to be honest, i just want to drink flying dog's snake head and raging bitch till the sun comes up. i compare all other beers to those 2 and always come away disappointed.

None of these sound any good to me but what the hell....

I have never had Trappist beer, but I have had Trappist cheese, fudge and fruitcake all made with Kentucky Burbon and I can tell you these guys know their gastronomic delights.

So bad news, I won't be watching the Skins game this weekend. The good news? My wife is taking me to a beer and bacon event. They will serve us different bacon dishes and pair them up with local craft brews, as a bonus she also ordered the gourmet cheese side plate.

This is good stuff.

Does she have a sister ?

^ Ha. No she has an older brother though, but he doesn't like beer.

This is good stuff.
