      My son asked me what people from Florida are called. I told him, "Retirees." Whatever, I feel like one, with a beer by the pool on the lanai

      This weekend, I get to hang out with both my brothers for the first time in seven years. I suspect beer will be involved.

        I see what you did here...I suspect a beer will be involved with the latter part of my day today.

        To be fair, couldn't you replace "Christmas cookie baking day" with anything else and beer would still be involved? Today is (insert whatever you're doing today). Beer will be involved.

      Two more nights in Japan, both with business dinner plans. Can I hit another new beer place before I leave?

        @shigg85 I've been here for almost two weeks, going home on Friday. I visited Popeye, PDX, the American Craft Beer Experience, Kunisawa, Yona Yona, Good Beer Faucets, Craft Beer Server Land, Thrash Zone, and Far Yeast. Plus Mizonokuchi Brewery and local bars Fujimaru and Mugihigeya. I've been having a good time.

        What are your favorite beers/places to enjoy in Tokyo? I am visiting in April. Looking for recommendations.

        @sebert3030 My #1 recommendation in Tokyo is Beer Club Popeye. Lots of Japanese craft beer on tap. This trip, Fujizakura and Be Easy impressed me. I've visited Thrash Zone twice and enjoyed it a lot. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Kunisawa was a very interesting place to stop with good beer. If you want, message me with more info about where you'll be and what you like, and I'll see if I can help you.

    Beer is good.

    Beer likes:
    • Bread and butter is IPA and varieties thereof.
    • Love lambic/gueuze and similarly wild sour stuff.
    • Learning and growing in the lagers / traditional styles arena.
    • Anything interesting from outside my area, particularly hyperlocal or quirky things.
    Beer not-so-much-likes:
    • Very easily overwhelmed by cinnamon in a beer.
    • I rarely find kettle sours that I like. They do exist, but it's a small minority.
    • I'm kind of so-so on the whole slushy sour thing.
    • I'm not a fan of super gimmicky beers where the philosophy seems to be "We think it'll garner attention" as opposed to "We think this will be interesting / good."
    Generally, I'm open to everything, even if it's a style I typically don't like, I will give it a shot and appreciate the experience, even if not the beer.

    Currently exploring the world of whisky and beer pairings...

    Rough interpretation of my ratings, as of 2021-02-27:
    • 5.00: Dunno. Maybe I'd be willing to give up all other beers to have this one? Have inappropriate dreams about it? I've never rated a beer this high.
    • 4.75: I remember it fondly and possibly pine after it, even if I only had it once. Looking at these beers in my review history makes me wistful.
    • 4.50: I probably remember it as a stand-out among the thousands of beers I've tried, might have a standing policy to buy it if I see it.
    • 4.25: Tempted to buy it every time I see it, and often do (or regret not doing so).
    • 4.00: Tempted to buy it every time I see it, but often don't. I would strongly recommend anything with this rating or higher.
    • 3.75: Happy to have it any time. Probably my most common rating.
    • 3.50: No problem drinking it, but not necessarily happy to drink it.
    • 3.25: I've had worse beers, but I'm not excited about this. Wouldn't order it again, most likely.
    • 3.00: It's not very bad, but it's not very good. I may or may not make faces while drinking it.
    • 2.75: Everything here or below is probably something I wouldn't have again, unless external pressures made it difficult to avoid (or I was just curious if my tastes had changed substantially). Drainpour is likely.
    • 2.50: It's bad. I'd recommend water instead. I mean, it won't kill you or anything, but…why would you drink it?
    • 2.25: Don't drink this, and definitely not anything I've rated worse. Only about six beers have been in this region.
    • 2.00: It's very, very bad. Ill-conceived and/or flawed. I've only rated four-ish beers in this region.
    • 1.75: It's irredeemably bad. I've only rated one or two beers in this region.
    • 1.50: It's unforgivably, unforgettably bad. I have only rated one beer this low, and nothing lower, so the rest is conjecture.
    • 1.25: Superlatively bad?
    • 1.00: I have nightmares about having to drink this beer? Would give up drinking before drinking this again? That's a stretch…
