    Trains out of wack, so stayed local. Tried this tap on forever here, and not good but I know better than to try draft here.

    New bartender has bad country music here. Hope lunch turns things around. Also hope @cjgiant and everyone else into March Madness enjoys the day. I still follow high school and pleased five Chicago schools made the Final Four (Marshall, Farragut, Leo, Marist and DePaul Prep (Gordon Tech)). My school placed 3rd last year, but fell to an away opponent early.

    Son, it's like that. I promise you. Sometimes I wish I could crawl right into the can. Cheers!

    Beautiful day. Got the dogs walked and I'm sitting down to watch some basketball.

    Happy Thursday one and all!
    Meetings continue to be the bane of forward progress so I decided to have a beer while others hashed out some ideas. I’m not management so my thoughts don’t matter anyway. (Not always true, but in this case, definitely)

    It was the gargoyle that caught my attention, and as it was a black IPA, a style two local breweries got started with, I thought I’d try it.
    Bucketfoot (Gravel Bottom) and Perrin Black are both black IPAs and very midwestern in the sense that they are balanced between hops and malts. Apparently boring sells very well in craft beer.
    This is months old but is still considerably hoppier than the aforementioned beers. Rather digging it.
    Cheers!

    I feel your pain Jason. You can’t escape that type of music when you live where I do. Most new country music is terrible. Nothing but computerized rap drum beats with a horrendously off-pitched nasally singer. No one uses fiddles or mandolins anymore.

    Country-Western is commercialized crap these days. Same with Rock in my mind. 95% of the good musicians are dead :confused:

    Sorry for the rant!

    Cheers :beers:

    Does rock exist any more? lol

    And we are nearing a time where maybe 95% of musicians are AI.
    <sarcasm>Great time for music!</sarcasm>

    Maybe it's time for the same thing in music as to what craft beer has become - support good local music.

    Absolutely beautiful day here. 70 degrees and sunny with a slight haze and gentle breeze. Perfect for sitting outside in the shade, and for beer drinking!

    Drinking a Revision Brewing Emerald Bay IPA. I first tried this beer last year and it’s not tasting any better. A solidly ok brew.

    :beers:

    I totally agree. Autotune marked the beginning of the end for music. Only the small players who can’t afford to computerize their music are truly talented.

    Cheers :beers:

    Yes, oh yes, small upcoming bands, intimate gigs, probably the only music I listen to other than bands formed more than twenty years ago.

    Was gifted a bunch of Shiner brews months ago. This is the last one. Decided to put it out of its misery. Not my favorite beer style.

    WTF! 89 degrees yesterday. Today it is snowing! Been snowing for a few hours.

    Heady is the meanest 8% beer on the face of the planet, and nothing comes close. I mean that, sincerely. If you're not careful, it will f*ck your whole head up. Cheers.

    Good afternoon BAs! It’s Tampa Bay Beer Week and I’m at Grand Central Beerhouse drinking their silver medal winning “Joe & Dan’s Rye IPA”:

    Good stuff! Dry rye malt base with some orange from the Cascade and Falconer’s Flight hops. Cheers from St. Pete y’all!

    At the Fort Lauderdale airport, DFH 60 Minute. It has been a BUNCH of minutes since I’ve had this iconic beer. Absolutely love it.
