One of my dogs has had a persistent UTI for a couple weeks, not getting fixed, so took her in to get an x-ray.  Bladder looks like a sack full of rocks.

Surgery scheduled for Monday.  ### #### it.

Surprised you didn't mention butt stuff. 

Jk, tpw dogs are awesome, gl.

No.  Other dog.  Who apparently refused to go outside for the rest of the day after the murder because it scared her.  Despite having the bladder capacity of a flea due to struvite stones.

Sorry.  Sorry even if it were the felon.  Glad you're getting it taken care of - if you don't hit that stuff soon it can be irreversibly bad.

You ####### guys.  I need something more expensive to drink.   Something really ridiculous sounding yet somehow also pretentious.    How about pappy van winkle? Nope that's last year.  How about fifty dollar four pack of beer sours?  There's lots of flavors besides beer.  You know,  because we love beer so much that we'll pay fifty bucks for less than a six pack of something that's not beer and comes in different flavors.  Let me know when you realize it's Zima and start icing your bros with it, preferably over a ridiculous sounding tea concoction you can only get at a coffee shop.

I see a few sours there, but none I'm familiar with.  Destihl appears to distribute to Ohio, so you may be able to find their sours (canned), and they're not nearly as expensive as some others discussed.

Personally, for beers like Jolly Pumpkin ( :wub: ), I treat them more like a wine.  From that perspective, $12 for a 750ml bottle isn't outrageous. I'm not opening one for showerbeer any time soon.

I finally used the gift card that arud gave me n the ffa secret Santa of 2011.  Went to Slows downtown Detroit.  Had a great lunch but felt a little overserved after three beers.  Asked the bartender if I could look at the bottle.  New Holland pilgrims Dole 12%.  Good grief not the beer to chug at lunch but could have easily banged down three more!  Very good.

Say a guy wants to try a non-$30 bottle of this so called 'sour' beer and has no desire to buy it and keep it for a decade. Does one exist?  Recommendations?  I'm in Minneapolis btw.

not really a "sour" but Anderson Valley's The Kimmie, The Yink and The Holy Gose is fantastic. so is their Blood Orange Gose.

i've been a big fan of Destihl Counter Clockweisse.  it's only a little more than 3% abv, i think.  tart, refreshing, great for a summer afternoon on the patio.

those might be more accessible and an easier introduction to "sours" than diving straight in to the shallow deep end head first @St. Louis Bob

This was the original location. Not sure if that qualifies as the 'downtown' location, but it was the only location at that time.

And to be fair, it was after a couple of bloody marys with breakfast, plenty of beers at the Tigers game and an hour wait in the divebar next door.

I go either way on goses, prefer Berliners for sure.  I kinda don't get why gose is big all of a sudden....almost like a handful of breweries brought it from the dead, hipster nerds who want to be the first to say they liked something started pretending they liked em, and every brewery in America came out of the woodwork with a gose.  I don't hate them but I almost never reach for one if there are other reasonable options.  Definitely a cheaper, more accessible introduction than like out-there lambics though.  Roboto is in Twin Cities?  Surely there are locals out there brewing Berliners or goses.

One of the really big gourmet beer stores around here usually has 375's of Hanssens, Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge, Drie Fontanein, Tilquin in the $10 range.  It's not a cheap bottle, but it's not $30+.  Those are pretty world-class classic sours that are fairly available in America.  When I was in Amsterdam last summer, I bought a 750 of Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus off the shelf for like $7 after the exchange.  Can you imagine that in America?

THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN...RELAY FOR LIFE 50/50 DRAWING.

Every year we have a "wine night" fundraiser for our relay for life team (in memory of my late brother in law).  At said event we hold a 50/50 drawing.  Usually the take for the winner is at least $1000-2000.

tickets are $1 but $20 will get you 25 tix.

PM me and I'll give you PayPal info.  Thanks!

Shameless bump for the morningish people.

An unhelpful suggestion, as it probably goes a little beyond what you'd be willing to do to get an outstanding sour

Yeah no trips will be happening this year with the baby coming in June.

I'd go with the Nice Melons, gets decent reviews. You should know if you'll like sours after trying that one.

ETA a lot of Sours will have lower ABV as well

That place has a tasting bar where you can get a souffle cup filled for a quarter.  I'll do that before buying a growler full.

 
anybody better at internetting seeing anything about a bomb being found in NYC (Chelsea neighborhood)? 

nothing on the news yet. a coworker had two separate friends post stuff on their FB feeds about it... but tbh, I wouldn't put posting incendiary mindless #### on FB feeds past this guy's friends.

Fake bomb found in Peoria airport.  Guess they decided it just wasn't worth wasting the explosives  because,  well, Peoria.

one friend of this guy posted a 3 or 4 second video showing the intersection of 7th and 23rd sts with lots of firetrucks, captioned with something like "ermughud, they found a bomb here- is there anything on the news yet?". 

this guy knows a lot of canadian bimbos. related/unrelated.
