OK beer bros - who's tried the supposedly best beer out there? https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/23222/78820/?ba=Craftbeerfan666
I'll do a burger here and there, but never stake. Otherwise, this is pretty much where I am. This is probably how I would do it if I had kids. And the bold is why I can't stand anybody who proselytizes that we need to eat meat, or need to be vegan. Eat healthy for you, and follow your doctor's recommendations.
Nope. Given the description and that it's 12% abv, I couldn't drink more than an 8 ouncer of that. I like stouts just fine, but if I'm going to drink more than one, I'm sticking with my 4.2% friend from St. James Gate.
Apparently they're hard to get. Either pay big bucks or go to the Iowa brewery. Which means you purposely have to go to...Iowa.
Gotcha, like a Pliny the Younger situation, which I have had----helps having several family members in and around Santa Rosa.
You and DT need to drop the voice to text Exactly. That said, I pretty much eat for taste these days, with health a secondary consideration. I don't get into food convos with my doc anymore. He knows that, at my age, I'm going to opt for comfort and enjoyment of the meals over a few extra days of life. I've encountered several vegans or vegetarians who worked really hard to push their agenda on me. I already told you about the singer. But what I haven't told you is that I've encountered two people who ate ONLY meat. I wanted to ask them if they disliked every vegetable they tried, but did not get the chance. I think they were right wingers who saw all vegans as liberals and decided to alter their own diets to troll us. The worst food folks I have run into were the ones who, without asking, recommended oat or soy "milk" and tried to play word games like using "cow's" before "milk". To a one, they were Black religious nuts, or edgy Whites who never faced racism a day in their lives and so have the luxury of time and money for a vegan lifestyle. Milk as our cultural default is whole and comes from a cow. I don't care what people eat or drink, but when they try to normalize their little agenda/fetish thru pseudoclever phrasing, I'm on that shit like spots on dice. Ask me first if I'm lactose intolerant. If I say no, your alt.diet peptalk needs to end right there.
If I bring that to the BYOBBQ, why wouldn’t you throw it on the grill for me? If I insist that it doesn’t touch any part of the grill or spatula that has meat taint on it, then yeah, kick me out.
I eat kale and tofu. But tofu isn't a sub for meat. For folks for whom meat consumption is some kind of sin, why simulate the taste? It cracks me up when people won't answer that question. Cowards and hypocrites. I'd cook it if I did that sort of thing. But I wouldn't host a BYOBBQ to begin with. BTW, I'd eat your cooking without bringing meat to your home. Unless you were medically advised away from meat, yes, it's the same thing. That just seems weird, having a bunch of people bringing their own shit because nobody can bond over the food that the host is preparing. That's not even a pot luck- it's an agendafest. I would much rather provide for everyone, and I will happily provide vegetarian for you. I'd probably contact you ahead of time for details. I'll say this, tho. I'm particularly sensitive to the actual physical/medical needs of others. but if your diet is faith-based, I'd prefer you just stay home. I dated an Adventist woman once who brought her own food to a dinner hosted by my parents. Her geechee ass was out of my life within 48 hours. I do not tarry with folks who deny food based on religious dogma. First day teaching ever was a teacher work day. Met some folks and one teacher offered to take us for lunch. follow him! We ended up at this Indian place eating vegetarian, which was fine, but I had to grab a Whopper on the way back because not eating enough veggies to offset the lack of meat. Guy tried to make a joke about Alabama and I ended up telling him to take his pseudoarrogant stupid Banana Slug ass (for his cutely named West Coast alma Mater which has probably never won anything- it was on the wall in his room) away from real people. Moral of the story? When you know you have an alt.diet, don't try to act like it's mainstream. Nobody else wants to be in your lane. What's funny is that after 61 years of living, I know four vegetarians and one pesca (two of the vegetarians are you and nutter). The numbers are really too small out there to concern me. Those people deserve to be mocked. They got Biblical issues with meat but want the taste. Subhumans. They need to be told to ******** ALL the way off and go die with a bellyful of hay
I'd eat anything that tastes good to me and doesn't hurt me. Meat, veggies, insects, (sea and land), Fungi... whatever. In my humble opinion, if you can decide what kind of food NOT to eat because of moral reasons, you have it good. A lot of people doesn't have that oportunity to discern.
I tried it several years ago. I had several expressions of Dark Lord in the same sitting. It didn’t hold up to those in my palate.
Like Stanford's band. If I were the president of that school, I'd do everything in my power to force them into being a band instead of a comedy troupe. Including not having a band until they got their shit togethering, firing the director(s), whatever it takes. I will laugh when I have time and energy for comedy. I want to see your band in serious DCI mode, not VK DCI mode (so glad they're not contenders)
Scarcity sells. My brewery was a victim of palate fatigue in beer comps. Now being almost 4years removed, it is amazing just how intense hops are compared to how I perceived it when I was swimming in actual hops and hoppy beer daily.
I geeked out homebrewing and trying everything for many years. The rise of IBUs and the stupid IPAs ruined the whole thing. Dickheads standing around talking too much about the ingredients and overemphasizing uniqueness. I guess I went the opposite direction of most people. I’d rather have a Banquet or a Bud now, but I’ve been doing the california sober thing for a bit.
I’m not a vegetarian but one obvious answer which occurs to me is that they love the taste of meat but have strong objections to industrial food production methods which they believe are cruel and/or environmentally destructive and/or have high food safety issues. There’s a reason humdrum lagers and Pilsners are so popular. That’s pretty much all I drink now.
100%. My wife and I spend extra on meat so we can get it locally sourced so it’s organic, pasture-raised, and slaughtered by a professional butcher. That’s a privilege of being upper-middle class and living in an area where that option is readily available.
This topic comes up a lot in my family. Mum doesn't eat mammals, one sister is pescatarian, brother is vegetarian, other sister is vegan. All of that is by choice. I don't have that luxury as it is difficult enough for me to eat because of my autoimmune disease (celiac, so no gluten), allergies (crustaceans) and intolerances (tomatoes). I couldn't imagine imposing more restrictions on myself that I don't have to - it's hard enough as it is.
I have some dietary restrictions which really cramp my style—particularly on vacation when my GI tract is already unsettled to begin with. It really sucks.
I had an allergy scare recently with shrimp cocktail. Broke out in a rash. But then I tried it a few weeks later and all was good. Phew!
The algo gives me these workplace articles so not sure how accurate they are. But I've worked with some wackos so I could definitely see these things happening. One guy I worked with could not take a dump in the office bathrooms (they were very clean bathrooms). So he'd take the elevator down, walk to the parking garage, hop in his car and drive down the road to a steakhouse New hire reserves office microwave for 30 minutes every day for dietary reasons, ends up getting banned by HR from using it after unplugging it to keep others out: 'But... the microwave was free' https://cheezburger.com/40913413/ne...every-day-for-dietary-reasons-ends-up-getting
Ah, don't give up there's good stuff out there that's not triple-hopped and 9.8 percent ABV. I love finding session IPAs and the rare American attempts at ESBs. And hell, just last night I came across a style I had never heard. Now, I'm not a brewer or way down in the weeds, but I feel like I do know a thing or two about beer styles. Went to a brewpub about 2 miles down the street to meet some friends. They always do a lot of interesting stuff but they had a "Kentucky Common." I had never heard of such a thing. Learned the history of it, etc., and it was really good. Think (if you haven't already had one) sort of less toffee than an ESB with a bit of the bite of an English brown. Really good.
