PaulJason, just wanted to give you a run for your money on glassware. But I believe that I've had a year or two or three head start. There are boxes on the floor with glasses in them. and one more pic in the album that didn't show here.

How do you know which beer to drink out of it if there's no Logo???? most of the pounders were from the brewpubs themselves, the goblets and such, not so much.

Logos (to me) get in the way of looking at the beer.

As for me I use glassware, yes to see the beer (Ok looks good, done) but more importantly to drink it and enhance flavor. Logo's just look better on a glass (to me). Just sayin...

PaulFour days of Winter remaining, just got done mowing the yard and closing up the woodpile. The first round of daffodils are dieing, the turkeys are in full strut and the squirrels are getting squirrelly. Time to have a beer.

right back at ya', wasn't on last night for very long, had work to catch up on due to day-long meetings yesterday and today. Tonight, however, forecasters are calling for hazy, loud and obnoxious, the other terms for "Paul's getting s%$^-faced.

Just long days in busy meetings with half ignorant folks discussing crap that could be handled by others instead of my group and then having those people bitch because they can't get stuff done because they're in a meeting that they called. ARRGGGGHHHH, its enough to make you drink at work. OK, it wouldn't take that much to make me drink at work.
HEISCHMAN
I RCVD 600 Laptops (10 Skids) and had to fit it in a space for 2 skids. Then come home to a letter from the school staying that my daughter has a $23.50 lunch tab. 1st I have heard of this. Like I said long day
HEISCHMAN: I will be sending you some beer very soon. Any requests. You will be getting both my 1st batch the cream Ale, S(CREAM) and the ESP, King Kong and the E.S.B. in this shipment as well.

Jason, I'll leave it up to your (in)descretion. I've enjoyed all that you've sent so far, from hoppy to malty, dark to darker, mild to wild, as long as its not fruity, it'll be good.
PaulWell boys and girls, its been an ugly afternoon in southern IN and northern KY, tornados all over the place, west 15 miles, north 10 miles, south 2 miles, still coming and going.

Luckily, they've missed us so far, others are not nearly as lucky. Drinking not an option until they're past. I will however, prepare to drink and ensure that the hoard is kept safe.

Such horrible weather. Keep as safe as possible.

Short term drinking is accessed through the small beer fridge in the dining room. The variety changes weekly in both, depending on where I've been or when the kids show up.
Paul
This is terrible, I know, but this is my earliest drinking picture of myself. Damn the sippy cup, full speed toward liver failure!!!!

Growing up in England we used to have a shandy at the pub once in a while when we were kids.

Your elbow-bending style hasn't changed a bit!

The style hasn't, but the frequency and the choice of beer has.

Figure, 3 a night average maybe, that's over 1,100 per year (some nights it just liquor or wine). If you started when you were 18 (legal when I was 18), that's over 35,000 beers. at $1 per beer, that's a crap-pot-load of beer/money. We all know its more than that too.

Started with a hefeweizen, then Florida Lager, Yazoo City Dos Perros, Terrapin rye pale, Tyranena Sheep Shagger Scotch and then finished with SA chocolate bock. The sheep shagger and rye were a little much for them, but there are two more on the path to enlightenment.

Paul
you won't have to kiss anything, trust me. You might wish to chug from the challace of Chimay or maybe the Flagon with the dragon (1 point to anyone that can name that movie)

PaulJust got a call, found out I was up to 101 pints. That's donated blood, not beer consumed, that number would be muuuuch higher. Donate if you can, it doesn't hurt that much and you get free cookies. Plus, sometimes the phlebotomist is really cute.
Mark
That's awesome. You've helped a lot of people.

PaulGot stopped at a sobriety check point last night. DDs are a wonderful invention, always use one. As soon as that was mentioned, "have a nice evening folks."
PaulI've officially got too much beer, several, several cases. I must do something about it. I'm thinkin' about drinkin'. right now, a Cigar City "El Chupa Cobras" available only in Alabama and my house apparently.
PaulAs a little old man, I can only drink so much in an evening, based on current consumption rates and volumes present, I wouldn't "have" to buy another beer until sometime in early March.

This group is designed to share notes about beer, as well as tasting notes and suggestions and get to know beer lovers from all over the globe. Here's the idea: We have themed tasting. In advance, if possible, we will pick a Style of Beer we're going to taste, then we trade tasting notes. The tasting period will be over two weeks so we get an outpouring of related tasting notes, which will spur deep discussions.... Check the Discussion area for what the tasting will be.
