    Is that a redirect....or you just trying to promulgate a post-shower mental image?

    If that link is a redirect there is a sub forum in the BeerAdvocate Talk forum for reporting these happenings. Otherwise, it is kind of stylish and I'll bet you'd look pretty good in one.

    Not sure what you mean by redirect, but that "direct" ad is (still) being served to me now, on this (BA) page. At only $21,930, it's tempting. But I will be kicking myself if I buy it and then a coupon comes out.

    ETA: Not a redirect (hijack). Just a very silly ad.

    ....or if all sales are final and it doesn't fit.

    BA might be interested in knowing you got this ad. Look here:

    Maybe better than in the one the OP already wears.:grimacing:

    You need to become a Premium member to get rid of the ads altogether.

    Bathrobe ?!? ...pshaw. The ad clearly states it's a dressing gown.

    My understanding is that ads aren't necessarily site-specific. For instance I googled a new apartment building near me because I was curious about it (not as a potential tenant), and I've been seeing ads for it everywhere ever since. I think the site put a cookie on my computer that then cued up the ad all over the place, but I don't really know.

    (I hadn't seen any ads for this "The Rake" place until I clicked through in this thread. Then I opened another thread and, presto, I got an ad for The Rake.)

    All of that having been said... do you not have a good brewing robe? You don't have to spend $20,000 but I'm kind of at a loss for what else you would brew in?

    Nice try, Vikeman. We know you're getting a fat commission on every purchase that comes through the homebrewing forum link! That explains how you can afford to give Brewcipher away for free.

    Seriously, I bet that guy brew with one of those Keurig systems.
