    "Fact": Aslan > Aslin

    Wut is even happening here?! It's all subjective—there are no facts when it comes to taste. And no, this thread isn't embarrassing, what's embarrassing is where a couple individuals have taken this thread. Off-topic, and reported to admin.

    Now, back to Grape Lotion...

    Hey, that's fine if that's what you think. Aslan>Aslin. The difference between you and I is I don't get offended by your comment. Reported to admin. is grade school type behavior, but exactly what I'd expect from you. Silence the man with the strong opinions and isn't afraid to voice them.

    "Fact" was in scare-quotes for a reason. And "reported to admin" was a joke. Taste is subjective, that's it, end of a truly engaging story. Now, seriously, back to Great Notion, please.

    You'll have to wait a bit. The next GN Friday newsletter doesn't come out till tomorrow afternoon.

    Hopefully they'll send it out a little earlier in the day this time, so I have a chance to cut and paste it into this thread.

    First you argue that folks in the NW forum take issue with your opinion because they're unhappy with the reasons you provide for your opinion, and then you post something like this.

    In any event, I'm glad my morning coffee didn't let me down this time, and that I apparently recollected correctly (that your just spouting off opinions with no supporting rationale).

    GN is one of the best breweries on the planet because you personally think it is.

    MT is making some of the best hazy IPA's in the country because you personally think they are.

    Portland doesn't have it better than other beer cities in the country because you're personally convinced it doesn't.

    Got it! Thanks!

    Man, I've said this so many times to you, it's NOT JUST ME WHO THINKS THIS. I know plenty of people who agree with me they just don't post on BA. So I'm speaking for them. Got it?

    I've gotta agree. Let's lock this one, and start a fresh one that focuses on more current happenings. This one dates back to when they first opened, and we've chewed through a lot of ground over that time span. The weekly Emails and current releases would be easier to locate too.

    "off topic" is usually more friendly. Can't wait to visit San Diego and the rapidly improving LA area. Santa Rosa is a regular visit. So I'm hardly "anti--Californicators" but you're getting kind of tiring.

    Meh, no one is making you read what I'm posting or reply to me. I don't believe I've disrespected anyone.

    You missed the point of my analogy - it certainly wasn't that I'm interested in where you post - but since you didn't get it I won't repeat myself or beat a dead horse.

    Instead, let me ask (and this was the point I was trying to make). What do you get out of all of this? Is it just trolling? Is there something missing in your life? I mean, it would never have occurred to me to go to a forum for a region I feel is inferior and assert my "strong, honest, unbiased opinion" in what seems to be the attempt to get people to admit that their region sucks.

    Here it is then, let me try and help you:
    1) Great Notion is the best brewery in Portland
    2) All other breweries in Portland suck (either because their hazies suck or they don't brew hazies at all)
    3) My region in general sucks
    4) The breweries and beers you like are better than the ones I like
    5) Your opinion on beer is purer than others and this is why you should spread it far and wide. We need to know as much as possible about your strong opinion.

    Was that enough? Can we stop now? Somehow I doubt it.

    LOL! Really well said. You said in one post what I've been trying to say in probably a dozen. Unfortunately, I tend to agree with your ultimate conclusion at the end.

    As I mentioned to @dphi the other day... I don't think it's possible to reason with him, because he's not interested in being reasoned with.

    Lets just be happy that we're not Florida.

    Holy shit Florida. You've got a problem.

    He's a troll. Why else would some one come onto a regional board and come out flaming. I am more than content to drink my Upright Pathways Saison while sobbing about state of the NW Brew Scene.
