Yessir. I'm very particular about my hoppy beers - IPAs with too much edge and my pallet gets all fucked up.
@Adonis, I'm cool with that kind of shit - I used to slam back Mike's, I still get one every now and again. Unfortunately, now my taste for beer has hoisted me into the stratosphere of craft-beer elitism.

A friend gave me a bottle of Bell's HopSlam, which comes out in small quantities once a year. I haven't tried it yet, but it's rated as the 23rd best beer by Beer Advocate users: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/17112/

I've only had four of the beers ranked above it, and they were amazingly good. Here's the list: http://www.beeradvocate.com/lists/top/

I've tried Pliny the Younger and Pliny the Elder. It was wasted on me, cause I'm not into IPAs haha

I'm going to do whatever it takes to get in on the next batch of Pliny the Younger.

I'm currently working on a pint of Jack as a post workout shake. Heard it's even better than whey.

Beer elitism is lost on me.

I recently ate a half-chicken Peruvian style as dinner. Heard it's even better than fried.

Protein powder is lost on me.

I'm drinking coffee

Chea!!

I'm panicking.

Try blind pig

I'm playing Diablo 3.

And drinking Coffee.

hah good man altho jean claude might roundhouse your opinion.

will put that on my list of beers to try

So this is way off topic but you brought up your seedling so...

I got a 5 and 3 year old. One caught this rare (not so rare if not for vaccines) "Whooping Cough"

Nearly killed her bro, Word. She a beast though....got all healed up for about 3 days and bang, ends up with a severe case of Pneumonia and gets admitted.

The fucking Government workers been calling me asking questions and shit, stuff been weird. Child Protective bullshit lingo, not sure why I'm bringing this up.....


I guess, make sure yours is vaccinated doggie, mine was too but she got sick before the second (school) vaccine was injected

My opinion is like tea time, everyone enjoys it

We're 3 hours, 58 minutes from deadline.

Heads up to @Soulstice, @King Ra., @Frank, @Black Glacier, @Dill Pickle, @ZeeDee, @Aesthetic, @Vividlyvague, @Verb, @dyedinthewool, @dead man, @Witty, @Innovator, @Mr. J, @dull boy, @Geo Oats, @Rawn MD, @Split Eight, @Diode and @Alphabet.

There will be no extra time allowed.

I have a coffee problem. I have a cup of coffee with me from waking up until about 6 P.M.

Life expectancy and sleep are lost on me.

Lord no :(

2 sugars & tetleys fuck them chimp cunts.

Sorry to hear that man. We've been lucky so far I suppose. Keep me updated on how things go.

god i fucking hate aliases.

This shit got the literal LOL

just post bro, we all lose now and again, just don't procrastinate.

I assume all aliases are top-level writers, then am relieved more often than not.

You also had the slight advantage of having at least seen a brief cypher verse from neutral.

Nope.

//diode

You've had Nugget Nectar and not enjoyed it? This makes me sad.

^ lol

pent says it's not him.

and there are so many sign ins i am at a loss.

the writing is very vividlyvague, but he is signed in on his own account, yes?

It's not Vividlyvague.

this is going to annoy me.

@Ink its an ipa also made by the same company as pliney (brewed in santa rosa ca i believe) but just not as stout.

what can i say.. i don't like hops.

hate pliny the younger and pliny the elder and all of the x-minute ipas and everything else hoplovers hold dear

Neutral=zenland

good call, though the writing is a little tidy for him.

True. But vivid and zenland write VERY similar. (Style wise)

here are my 5 stars on untappd. there are several more i'd give 5s to but i drank them long before untappd came around.

You notice that and still think it's Vividlyvague?

Also, the reason I thought you might like Nugget Nectar is because it balances out the hops with malt much more than an IPA. (It's an imperial amber ale, and Troegs' HopBack, their regular amber ale, isn't hoppy at all despite its name.)

I've had half of those stouts. I actually am more of a stout fan than an IPA fan. My favorite stout is Goose Island's Bourbon Barrel Coffee Stout (though the regular Bourbon Barrel Stout is excellent and much easier to find).

if it was a bit heavier i would enjoy it more. there are some borderline dopplebocks and marzens that are high on the hop content that i manage to enjoy.

Rob's Breakfast Burrito = greatest name for a brew ever

@El Pancake im atheist bro. Lol it hurt me to end it where i did but for sake of the topic it had to be done.
