I'm using the term "now" relatively... especially in relation to your question about when this happened. 

in the last 30mins- hour, ok?

30-60 minutes ago EST or PST?

 

[El Floppo]

wife is on her way to pick up floppinho, using the subway system.  I'll enjoy your funnies later. right now, not.

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?

i think i just got called a hipster nerd

I actually checked out 7th and 23rd on google maps just because.

It says that there's a Radio Shack on that corner.  WTF.

 

[ScottNorwood]

Floppo - I work about a half mile from there.  Haven't heard anything

Radio Shack - lol

I noticed last night that one of our deck doors has a sticker on the outside that says this house is protected by a Radio Shack security system.  Striking fear in the hearts of burglars everywhere.

That's just an invitation for someone to break in and steal your TRS-80.

No, but I don't remember Archduke Ferdinand either. What was he like?

Sweet mustache but kind of a tool.   Like most of the guys I saw at the Craft Beer Bottle Share at my local beer/wine place a couple of weeks ago.

Assasinate any of 'em?

Is that what supercentenarians refer to a priapism as?

You and your wife should probably avoid any thread started by Higgs.  You'll never leave your house.

I used to live three blocks from there.  great selection of batteries and headphones.

How about their selection of butters?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

No but the wife and I had a pretty good laugh.   Apparently it was a gathering of the local craft beer Facebook group.  That in itself isn't funny.  And the event seemed like a cool idea.  Everybody shows up at the wine/beer place with a bottle or two and shares.  Sort of a potluck for alcoholics.  

What was funny was that about every third person was wearing some sort of t-shirt from their favorite brewery.    Like "Check it out.  I like Stone.  You like Stone?  Oh, you're into Ballast Point?  Cool.  My buddy, Spatch, over there...the guy with Samurai top-knot and the handlebar stache?  He digs Deschutes.  You can tell by his t-shirt.  Beer is cool, right?"

Oh and one dude was wearing a Sierra Nevada shirt.   I don't think it was ironical either.

Either that or he just didn't want the embarrassment of being in a vertically filmed video.

Wait! There's only one Woz, right?

[SofaKings]

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.

Ok you might have rabbit.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Thanks to all who have bought 50/50 tickets so far!

 

[Henry Ford]

Dies anyone know who this dfsguy person is? Is he a real poster? Just kind of hoping he's shtick.

 

[Henry Ford]

Guessing he's a real person because I'm guessing that "dfs" is short for "daily fantasy sports" which would be a weird alias name. 

Oh, God.

No.  I wasn't born in the 40's.

Those are the accurate ones. My she answers are almost never right.

Seriously dude, that has to be from the 50's.

That's a little disappointing. For my friend, I mean.

GM>you know who has a really good wine selection?  Rite-aid.  Actually actually true.

 

[urbanhack]

Can't wait to walk into a Rite-aid for the first time.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

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!

GM>you know who has a really good wine selection?  Rite-aid.  Actually actually true.

Oh, I know.  Been saying that for years.  This is one of my wife's go-to wines.  Usually $10.99 at Rite Aid which is 2 bucks cheaper than other retailers at least.  And they have this pinot for $10.99 all the time.  Very good for the price.  And if you want to go fancy pants, I recommend this one for ~$30ish.

Also an excellent selection of boxed wines if you're into budgeting.
