Reinharts name has been thrown around a bit lately; he's a young player, high draft pick, but hasn't really panned out yet (at least not out to the level expected for a #2 pick). Next year is when his entry level contract is up. Some team might be interested in him as a rehab project.

This is true. Myself I almost always use the refillable canister, and when I do use the cups I put the coffee grounds on our plants and recycle the cup, but I'm sure I'm in the vast majority. I like the Keurig because I almost always only one want cup of coffee, so brewing 10 cups is a waste of coffee and time.

Someday I'll have my own brewery* and Josie can do my can art. *I will never have my own brewery because it is way to much work

Agreed. I'm no connoisseur, but it tastes as good as any coffee pot brewer I've ever had.

Oh same. Good labels draw my eye, and if the style fits what I'm feeling I'll buy. I'm a sucker for new brews too, I'll buy something new over something I know I like. Gotta chase that dragon.

American Football is nuts for this, because half the players on the field literally take a hit on every play. Maybe not to the head everytime, but the whole thing starts with the d- and o-lines slamming into each other. Running backs usually either block or get the ball and get tackled every play, too. Rugby and Aussie Rules Football are similar, but the hitting isn't as constant or consistent as gridiron is. Hockey may be contact, and the contact is big, but players don't get hit literally every minute of the game.

I had a new type at Resurgence the other day called a "Milkshake IPA" which I thought was just the name, but turns out is actually a style? It was a super creamy NE style IPA. It was kind of odd. Bells is great, I'd put a vote in for Great Lakes, though they don't come out with a lot of new stuff. But I've yet to have a GL beer I didn't like, and there's a lot of variety. Sad beer news: SmuttyNose is going up for auction soon. Hopefully the new owner is benevolent, and isn't InBev

Sours have grown on me, but its a once in a while thing. I almost never buy any to take home, usually I'll just give one a try at a bar or something. I do like the Belgian stuff which usually have some sour notes to them without being overpowering.

Amen. And yeah, they absolutely got too far into for a while. My favorite new beer I've had this past year was a Pilsner by Thin Man, which is a style places weren't touching for a long while. Give me options.

I figure a session is being able to go to the bar and drive home afterwards. *double d4rk kill bonus* Drink what you want man, I don't care. You like adjunct beers? Go for it, I think 90% of them taste like hot garbage, but I'm not going to talk trash about you for it. I just ask you do the same for me. I do think there are probably too many IPAs out there, and that breweries use them as a crutch sometimes. I've waxed philosophic about it before in this thread, but I think part of it was that IPAs were so completely different from anything else out there that when they first started popping up it was a way to kind of prove yourself to fellow beer drinkers. "Hey, I'm in on it, too." You'd go to a bar and order the hop bomb, 3 guys would look at you like you were nuts and one guy would give you a little nod. It was a thing. Now they've become so much a part of the culture that they've over done it. I'll disagree that they're all the same, though. Plop down a West Coast IPA or a NE IPA or a British IPA and you're getting 3 very different beers. A lot of places have started going away from the high IBU IPAs and are heading towards a more hop flavor forward beer, so its changed in that respect, too. On the beer nerd side, I like IPAs because you really get a feel for different individual hops and what they bring to the table with IPAs, because they're the main centerpiece of the beer, unlike stouts, porters, and lagers where its all on the malt, or sours where the fermenters are the main attraction. But again, whatever. The whole point of the craft beer renessaince wasn't about IPA vs Adjunct, it was about having choices in your beer. IPA, Lager, Stout, Porter, Saison (actually my personal favorite), Brown, Pale Ale, and all from different places trying different things instead of only the 10 breweries who managed to make it out of prohibition with enough money to brew again. Drink. What. You. Like. Thats what its all about.

Generally session refers to the alcohol content; instead of being 8%+ it sits around 5%. Heady isn't technically a session because it sits at 8%, but also I could drink it by the gallon.

That all sounds about right.

I usually just toast some white or light wheat. Agreed though, needs something a little stiffer to handle that mass. That's a big thing in Britain, I think.

Oh I have a case of Blue in my house right now. But I honestly do prefer the craft stuff in most situations. There's so much good beer out there man, and I want to try all of it. And I disagree that hot weather isn't the time for an IPA, its the perfect time for it. To the second part, they say they're using flaked corn in there, but the way I read that is that it will just be an addition, not the main bulk of the grain bill. It'll just give it a bit of the adjunct flavor.

I actually think the quality of it went down recently. A few years ago it was pretty much all I drank in the summer, the last couple summers its seemed kinda blah. But then maybe I just go through phases. 3 years ago was All Day, 2 years ago was Saranac Cold Brew, Last summer I drank a lot of Flying Bison 716.

A Mr. All-Day IPA would like a word with you.

CBW Definitely doesn't have the scale to can 30 racks of it, right now they don't even have a canning or bottling line. I assume someone else will be doing the actual production of it; they've done this in the past with the few things they've canned. Eventually they'll have their bigger production place up and running, but that could be 2020 before its at full flight. Still, I'd bet its going to be something like 8 bucks a sixer, not 12. Just a guess, though.

This is very cool. Here's what they tweeted about it:

I'm ok with this. You just know that Pulled Pork is your kind of racist uncle's favorite. He gets real upset when he's traded away at the deadline despite never making a real impact.

I don't think I've ever had a problem with a turkey club falling apart, with or without toothpicks. What are you guys doing to your sandwiches? You know you don't have to throw them down the stairs first, right?

Turkey Club is correct, and Rye is always the right bread for like 80% of sandwiches.

I'm amazed it took this long into the thread.

I got close with the Bills. I've followed them for long than I have the Sabres; that really started in earnest post lock-out for me. Bills have been my entire life. But 17 years of being terrible...I had reached the point where I could no longer enjoy the games, win or lose, because I honest to god hated them so much. I haven't reached that point with the Sabres, right now I'm still in good old apathy mode.

Edit:Womp Womp, didn't see the other thread. Feel free to kill this one.
