I was looking for any kind of introductory thread that you find in a lot of other forums, but didn't find one. So I guess I'll just jump in head first! Hey, I'm Jake a n00b home brewer and beer blogger from Connecticut. I'm here to cause trouble and learn a lot about beers and ask a lot of stupid questions! Honestly though, it's refreshing to find an active beer forum.
Welcome aboard! This site has a lot to offer, but there is also a fair amount of shit throwing in the threads, although 90% of the time it is very entertaining. All in all, it is a great site. Where do you do your blogging? There are a couple of local guys that I pay attention too, always looking for other interesting sites.
Thanks! Im a part of a couple other forums, so I know how it goes haha. My blog is http://hipsterbrewfus.blogspot.com and Im based out of Colchester, Ct. I certainly hope im interesting, because being boring sure as shit isnt going to help me get a name for myself
Grab a bunch of bottled delicious New England brews. Drink those beers, then smash the bottles over your head, then stab other BAs with them. Bam, instant name for yourself. That's what I did anyway, and the local tasting group loved it. True story.
Wow, man. That's heavy. It's a shame you're from CT. Otherwise, I'd invite you to our group, and we could have a "drinking beer with one hand while flailing with sharp objects in the other hand" contest. We do that every other meetup. Last group, Cypher shived Reagan WHILE pouring Zombie Dust, and Jim just started slicing people with an '08 Pumpking bottle. And a handful of spicy slaw. I just lamented that Heady Topper comes in non-see-through cans, which aren't good for stabbing. Or beer determination.
You're in Natick. Ugh. I like the sounds of all that, sounds like it could use more angel dust though. I need to get some Heady Topper. a friend of mine in Chicago is asking me for some, but I havent seen any!
you wont (see Heady Topper) unless you head half way up VT or higher. No regular distro outside N. VT. (it does get some infrequent distro to the greater Boston market). No worries, it makes for a great excuse to visit Hill Farmstead too. I'm in NE CT myself...so welcome!
Im actually picking up a 4-pack tomorrow from another BA! WOOO! I might be more excited than I should be, but we shall see! And thanks for the welcome, Im having a good time already!
From what I've read, and I could be parapharasing here but...apparently this will make my penis grow longer and I'll irresistible to the opposite sex. Can anyone verify?
all that.....and so much more. In all seriousness though, it will recallibrate your palate. previously held "wow" beers will be demoted to the dustbin of mediocrity.
Totally true. I have to wear pants and drink my Heady Topper in a dark basement until the effects wear off. Otherwise I'll be running from a large group of women like in a bad Beatles movie.
The good thing about this hobby is that you get to make up your own mind. Some people think of HT as the sweat of god's balls, other people concede it's good beer but have been less impressed. Keep an open mind and taste for yourself.
He actually pulled down his pants and tried to stab us all in the butt with something else... True story.
Snap Son all this butt stabbing and the whole time I'm wondering whose gonna throw me a 4 pack of heady???
I heard one of the Natick tasting group members wears a kilt so he can just flip it up and be ready for the orgies. Also ladies would only be more into me if I let them drink my Heady which will not happen.
