Hmmmmm

Actually that does sound kind of fun doesn't it.

I did have a point here, but maybe we should just get back to Oktoberfest.

Sorry for the interruption.

We don't have many midnight bingos. but we do have meat raffles. Free beer, sandwiches,and you buy raffle tickets for meat. It is wild, raucous fun. We are heading into the second big meat raffle season, with turkey raffles beginning.
Spring ushers in ham and candy raffles. They all have beer.It is usually free admission, free beer and food. You cannot beat it for a cheap night out. Nothing says romance like a good post-meat raffle beer buzz in this part of the state.

Quite the contrary, in the rain, it was fun to try to go fast without skidding out or splatting some noctural wildlife.

It takes a few minutes - and snack; and a beer - for the "Bingo rush" to wear off.

Read about it ...

Stone 10th Anniversary IPA harkens back to our earlier Anniversary Ales, with abundant hopping at many stages of the brewing process. Appropriately, the aroma is over-the-top, with pronounced piney and resiny hop flavors combined with tropical fruit esters and more subtle notes of toasted malts and alcohol. Our Stone 10th Anniversary Ale weighs in at 10% alcohol by volume (perfect for a 10th anniversary beer), and has a little more color and malt character than our other IPAs. In addition to using the new Summit hop variety in the brewhouse to provide the powerful bitterness, we went back through our records and found some of our favorite hops over the years, and used them to flavor this brew, including Chinook, Crystal, and large doses of Simcoe in the dry-hop to provide a huge, complex, piney, fruity and floral hop character. This is a colossal beer, big in every sense: hoppy, malty, rich, and strong! Right up our alley.”

APPEARANCE:
Deep copper/amber with a light tan, dense head.

AROMA:
Really hoppy, with pronounced piney hop aromatics combined with layers of pineapple and mango tropical fruit.

FLAVOR:
Wow! Intensely hoppy, alcohol and bitter with some nice complexity provided by lightly roasted malt.

PALATE:
Full bodied, bitter, with some hotness from the alcohol.

OVERALL:
This beer delivers on everything-hops, malt and flavor! We hope everyone is as stoked about this beer as we were when we first tasted it.

I picked a bottle off the shelf. It was cooling nicely when my 9:00 beer curfew ["brew-frew"] came up.

I'll have it tonight.

Well, clearly the website isn't the restaurant, let's not split hairs. Any beer recommendations, oracle?

For reasons I can't fathom, the wireless router is blocking Google and nothing else and I can't read my email. I don't know if it's my highfalutin Ubuntu/Toshiba combo or a hardware thing, but it's driving me nuts.

How's it going, everyone, anyone?

Our whole system here is crazy today. This site is the only bit of sanity in my whole work day. There were just three dogs loose in the medical center, running wildly. On a realted note, they seemed to be a type of wiener dog!

So what do you recommend, beer-wise? I generally eat the same thing each year, it's veal in a cream sauce with mushrooms....although...I was thinking of trying the sausage plate. I'm just afraid that it will come and be just this giant sausage, and I'll look like that kitten in the building site in that old Warner Brothers cartoon, where the bulldog is looking after the kitten and the kitten is navigating this scaffolding with this giant sausage in its mouth.

Real feminine.

Crash course;

"hefe" = with yeast
"weiss" = wheat
"Dunkel" = dark
Dortmunder = darl lagar style (I like by the way)
"pilsner" = well you know, pilsner...

Got a microbrew from Berckshire, I had one of their fruit ales which was pretty good. WCan't go wrong with a well crafted ale.

And to set the record straight; woman eating sausages, banans etc are confident and sexy! Bon Appétit!

Ha! I've been having that problem a lot myself, because of Tappy, my laptop. So now I take out my password before I start typing, so I don't automatically post.

Care to guess what my boyfriend's laptop's name is????

Thank you! Very helpful. Maybe I'll inscribe it on my arm, like a cheat sheet.

Okay, I don't think women eating bananas look sexy. Just rich in Potassium.

NASCAR beer= TrailOBite

As for eating a big old sausage, that may very well be what they serve you. There is an interesting "porn lite" story about an alternative use of a schubing sausage, which I recall having seen before, on a related not at all note.
I would order the platter. Beave eats whatever I do not,and all of what I cannot. I would also want a pretzel!

I remember taking a raft of sh!t from some Foodie, by posting a photo of Anna K gobbling one ... I think "childish" and "juvenile" came into play. Maybe "adolescent"

Wonder where that went???
