Not sure what I think. Anyone here try it and have an opinion?

I've never been a fan. I stick to fat tire.

I wanted to try something new. Normally when I try something new I get one of those build your own six packs but I decided to stop at a small package store (with a drive through window that I didn't notice until I was leaving) last minute. In those instances I usually stick with what I know but I was feeling adventurous.

Nearly got punched by a coworker today, so it's Vodka tonics for me.

It was actually hilarious.

My boss wouldn't even let me apologize.

When you graduate beyond beginning, intermediate, advanced, courting, expert, and married level drinking; I suggest a gallon of Carlo Rossi red a couple times a week.

Couple gallons a week? You must be higher on the liver transplant list then I am Lol

Haven't had this particular one but I feel like all the New Belgium's I've had were not as good as the description sounded. Not bad, but kind of bland.

I do have liver function testing done every couple years :).

Wow. Care to share? The only time I nearly got into a fight with a coworker was back when I worked at Papa John's. It was me, a girl, and the manager in store. The phones were ringing, I was making pizzas, the manager was working the oven, and the girl was playing on her phone expecting me to do everything. She and the manager were buds so she got special treatment. I asked her to answer the phone and she said she was busy. I yelled at her to do her damn job and get off her phone. I had worked there a couple years and she had only been there a few months so I was a team lead(ish). She smacked me and cussed at me. I've never come so close to hitting a female. The manager told her to go outside. He answered the phone and I had to keep working. I didn't work there much longer and the same manager begged me to stay when I told him I was quitting. I was one of 2 or 3 people who actually did anything. He was too busy being friends with everyone so they stopped seeing him as a boss.

I keep my consumption to a beer or two max/night. It means I'm a cheap drunk these days.

I wouldn't call it bland but it's not quite what I was in the mood for. It's described as having soft fruit and citrus but all I'm really tasting is hops.

You can keep you liver on it's back leg by cycling through different forms of alcohol and keeping it off kilter. My .02$

Said coworker is 28 years my senior at the company, and is hugely unable to use computers. She is NOTORIOUS for not reading warnings and errors from the system (I work at a bank, the "system" to which I refer often tells us not to cash bad checks, etc.), so when she asked me a straight-forward-as-fuck question, i simply read the warning out loud. My boss (I guess technically my bosses-boss) was standing within about a foot of me. She snapped at me, I had no kind words with which to reply, so I simply walked away. About 2 minutes later, i apologized to my boss in private for "losing my cool" in front of a customer. He said that I handled it better than he would have.

Then I came home and got drunk. That old goat is on the verge of being fired anyway.

Ooh. My girlfriend complains about old people and technology where she works too.

I have my own company so I don't have to worry about such things.

I'm working as hard as possible on becoming my own boss, trust me.

Age discrimination is a real (and illegal) thing, though.

It wouldn't be so bad if they actually tried learning new tech. My grandmother had an iPhone before me. She also has a laptop she doesn't use as much since she got her iPad. Is she as good on these devices as I am or someone younger? No. But she does pretty well and she tries to learn stuff.

Oh, for sure. The computer system has been nearly the same for five years, I've been there for less than one. She's only 52. My grandparents (85+ years old) have laptops...

Sounds about right. I don't remember my grandmother's age. She's around the same age as yours though.

I was looking for their seasonal last night and couldn't find it.

I wish they'd bring back Snow Day I liked that one better

yeah. I think that's what I was thinking of when I got that last night

they haven't had it for the last couple years, I don't think it's coming back. A victim of the popularity of IPAs

I tried to find a different black ale instead, but settled on lefthand milk stout (which is good).

Cold weather appears to have returned so I'm gonna switch back to stouts soon. I like the left hand milk stout. Terrapin's is pretty good too
