    I know who Rollie Fingers is, he was an accomplished relief pitcher.

    I reckon he made mention of him for his distinctive mustache:

    You're trying to flush out all of us old farts from the crowd. Rollie Fingers was active in the 70s?

    I'm inclined to agree re: the Mosaic if I can change the bodily discharge. That one has the reputation of smelling/tasting like cat piss if not brewed fresh or drank fresh.

    Either you like lambics or you're a Philistine. There is no middle ground here.

    I'm good for one or two sips then have no interest in finishing the beer. Instant palate fatigue.

    I've had many Harpoons at Neptune Oyster in Boston. Is the USS Constitution still berthed in Boston? I love Boston........

    You didn't use a Winky emoticon so I'm assuming you're serious. (And I know some people will accept that taste.) We all have our own taste sensitivities and that's a 'bad thing' taste for me. I typically stay away from Mosaic hops, but if I order a beer unknowingly with Mosaic and it has that smell/taste, I won't finish it. However, If the brewer has used it fresh, or if the beer itself is fresh, I don't notice it. Usually the hop/beer freshness is usually an unknown thing, so I take the safe route and stay away.

    Wine generally pairs better with food than beer does

    Not exactly on topic with the thread but still a hot take

    Hot take; wine is only good when you’re too intoxicated to drink any more hard liquor and there’s no beer left at the party…

    Belgian stouts aren’t good.. at least the few i’ve had(from reputable breweries). Not naming them because i love all their other stuff.

    That being said, if every brewery just brewed to their strengths, the shelves would be lined with better beer. Not saying that experimenting should be discouraged, just keep those beers at their brewpub/taphouse and off the shelves.
