Thanks to Honor, Stak, you, and others yes I'm going. my wife and i are excited!

Gaga!

Good job Zee!

I have to say this, you're more man than I'll ever be. It took me a couple years of drinking the sweet drinks before I'd even try beer. And on your first attempt, your very first taste test, you picked a stout? I still can't drink that stuff! I take my hat off, sir.

I have to say I’m wildly proud that this thread has not yet descended into a bunch of people trying to outdo one another by bringing up obscure microbrews in typical one up-manship fashion.

Well done!

Stak,
I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread. I admit it- this board is smashing fun. Why would anyone want to go to one of those formal, sometimes stoic, somewhat depressing boards?

I say, well done Shades and co.

Gadianton,

Thank you for your praise. I see other areas of my life more wild and different than beer. I have decided there are many things I should no longer be afraid of:
Sushi
Tomatoes
Spicy mustard
Pop stars
Praying to a woman
Debating with a BYU professor
Buttons
Gays
really laughing with nevermos (like, really)
Being honest

[_MrStakhanovite]

buttons?

[_zeezrom]

This reveals my in real life identity a bit. Oh well.

I grew up with a mild case of this: http://dipsolect.com/koumpounophobia-fear-of-buttons/

haha. It is pretty funny but true. My kids will sometimes put buttons in our bed for me to find. Sick!

a harmony story:

I was making beer bread cinnamon rolls when the SP's wife came to the door (she is DIL's visiting teacher). The 6 pack was on the bar and I was wrist deep in flour. She was not amused. But then, she wasn't amused when she came VTing and my office coffee pot was on the bar either.

I still have a 6 pack in my pantry. in my opinion, the only use for beer is as yeast. The stuff just reeks. I could not drink liquid yeast.

A word of wisdom, Zee: do not eat salmon sushi. Stick to the octopus.

Thanks for the wisdom, Harmony. Beer bread huh? I'm not sure if I've tried that before. Another thing to add to the list I suppose.

I'm not a beer expert at all but I need to say that of the 5 flavors I tried last night, not one of them smelled bad at all. In fact, they did not have much of any smell at all. Nothing like what I remember when collecting Coors cans as a kid for recycling. Compared to the wine, vodka, and Screech I've tasted, beer seems very mild.
