1. How's the weather?

n/t

[absyntheNsugar]

2. Sunny and crisp

Perfect day for some Bug Juice Ale!

[HuckleB]

8. At six p.m.?

[absyntheNsugar]

9. Well it was

when i bought the box...things kinda went fuzzy after that...

[HuckleB]

12. Well, at least the lights are still on!

;)

3. I just had dinner at the Rogue Pub & Brewery in Newport, Or.

Do you really think your fermented swill can hold a candle to Dead Guy Ale?

(OK, it was a couple a days ago)

[absyntheNsugar]

4. Yes!

Triple Rock is the ONLY brewery that can match up to the Oregon ones.

Granted, Oregon does have hundreds of breweries that are as good (Rogue, Dechutes, McMenemans to name a few...) and Cali only has one...

BUT THIS PLACE IS THAT ONE!

C'mon law of averages would state that at least ONE brewery could be as good as an Oregon one....

[HuckleB]

7. Not McMenamins.

Granted, the beer is improving, and the atmosphere rocks, but it doesn't hold a candle to most of what Oregon offers.

5. Box o beer?

Like wine in a box? Beer in a plastic bag can't be a good thing...

[absyntheNsugar]

14. They sell beer in a box

1 Gallon for $15

Basically its in a box with a plastic container that holds the beer, and then a tap on the end. It lasts approximately 1 night before going flat. I am trying to drink as much as I can without becoming a raging Homer Simpson....

[democracyindanger]

16. re:

"I am trying to drink as much as I can without becoming a raging Homer Simpson"

Er, then what's the point? :)

[HuckleB]

18. What's the alcohol content on that stuff?

A gallon of craft brew for one sounds risky to me.

[absyntheNsugar]

19. 9.9%

I'm hoping wifey will come home and help me soon. I need help. Serious help.

[HuckleB]

21. I'll say. I'd be inviting the neighbors over.

[absyntheNsugar]

23. any DU'ers in East Bay are surely invited

:-)

6. Why is the sky blue?

Why can't it be red?

[absyntheNsugar]

11. Refraction of dust particles

in the atmosphere i think.

Sky can be red with red dust...

[HuckleB]

10. What style of beer is in that box?

Wherefrom do the hops derive?

[absyntheNsugar]

13. Cascade I believe

from Oregon I think...Mt Angel area

Isn't that where all hops come from?

[HuckleB]

15. Most of 'em in the states, anyway.

Some micros import specific types from overseas for certain styles of beer, however. But what style of beer you got there?

[absyntheNsugar]

17. Bug Juice

Essentially a cross between an Amber Ale and a ESB. Not as hoppy as an ESB, but not pure malt like the Amber Ale. VEry yummy and very dangerous at 9.9%

[HuckleB]

20. You keeping track of how much you're drinking?

Dangerous indeed.

[absyntheNsugar]

22. just finishing pint #2

:-)

[HuckleB]

24. Are you a celebrity?

Are you Robin Williams? If so, can I come over and ride some of your bicycles?

[absyntheNsugar]

27. Not unless you count my short happy journalism carrer

in which I wrote for such esteemed publications as the San Jose Metro, Saratoga News and Cupertino Courier...

[HuckleB]

29. Dagnabbit. I really want to get my hands on those bikes.

25. Bud Light vs. your beer,

Who wins?

[absyntheNsugar]

26. MY BEER!!!

Bud Light sucks!

[Vote2004]

30. Awwwwwww.......

Can't we all get along?
Boo hoo hoo~ Bud Light don't suck, cause I suck Bud Light!
:P

[HuckleB]

31. "Spread your tiny wings and fly away!"

And spot a better beer on a hopful day!

[Vote2004]

33. You guys are tough!

<<trying to spread my tiny wings......>>

But I can't fly away! I've found this site now and want to stay!

[absyntheNsugar]

34. Don't fly away from DU

just from Bud Light...fly away to a brewery somewhere west of the rockies...where the Willamette and Cascade hops abound and the malt pours like wine....

[HuckleB]

35. There's plenty of space to fly around DU.

And good beer to be found to boot!

Welcome!

[Vote2004]

37. Thank you

so much for your warm welcome.
I am gonna stick around here; it is fun!

[DrWeird]

32. Bud light is like sex in a canoe.

It's fucking close to water.

[Vote2004]

36. BUT!

I sleep on water bed, heh!

[HuckleB]

28. It's definitely not natural for beer to come from Missouri.
