Darkness on tap?

Still plenty left and plenty of places to sit. Should go relatively far into the evening!

 

Is it crazy over there?

 

no, not crazy but there are people here drinking.

 

Not one individual, just hundreds of individuals like him in a collective action. I've been in several hobbies/passions that once the general public gets involved, the old timers get fed up and leave.

That reminds me of something else that really grinds my gears; hero worship of Surly. I was in a liquor store once and the snottiest person ever was talking down to others because he was "in the know". "Well Omar said this. Well Omar intended that." Neat. You talked to Omar once. I've also waded through the crowds of people Instagraming the picture of their Surly using the latest iPhone and discussing Frank Ocean's latest LP. I guess it's part of that "I want to be different, like everyone else" thing.

Surly is awesome. Omar is awesome. Todd is awesome. Very thankful to have them and their beer generally readily available. But Surly hype can get a little old.

And I am really sad that I can't make the BLB tonight, it sounds absolutely wonderful.

 

I was shocked - shocked! - at how uncrowded the place was.

 

People have jobs, plans, kids, traffic, wives, childrens theater.....

 

Sounds like a whole bunch of excuses! The kids' ever been bowling? Sounds like a great time to start!

 

Reasonably priced too. $6 for a 10oz pour

 

Still not too crowded and there seems to be a decent amount left. And they also have black note and Brett liquor on tap. Really nice to be able to sip on some BA vanilla darkness without people breathing down your neck.

 

Way to be an enabler. Yes they like bowling, but never thought of this option. Looks like we have a new dinner spot!

 

I was just at MIA taking in the Terracotta Warriors exhibit. You guys go see The Grinch?

 

The children's theater was a reference to Bill

 

How do they EVER expect to get ANY beer if they have those things?

 

Just don't tell your lovely wife that I suggested this great idea.

 

I just left, it was pretty slow but oh was it delicious!

 

Jodan just solved my problem. Take the kids bowling!

 

Phase 1: have children
Phase 2: take them bowling
Phase 3: ???????????
Phase 4: drink barrel aged Darkness

 

Hey the grinch was really entertaining at the kids theater! Matt I have you steel toe still. I will be at Sensors Bloomington on Friday to watch the Northern Illinois football game.

 

Not making it to blb tonight. Opened a bourbon county and relaxing.

 

Might any drops remains tomorrow for those that drink barrel aged stouts on their lunch breaks and pretend not to be intoxicated in the office?
