now is the perfect time for an unreasonable request, caught on video...

do you two sit across the room from each other and carry on an irl conversation whilst also hashing stuff out on here? because that's how i picture your situation in this moment.

don't be that guy.

i wanted to watch the finale last night, but i'm about a season and a half behind. it's already making me sad though.

been at work all damn day. what the royal fuck?

only a dollar short? methinks you're ahead of the curve. thank you mama!

as long as you enjoyed it, purpose served.

thank you sir.

i'm spending today posting only barely-applicable marc rebillet videos. so here.

i wish it wasn't so difficult to get this stuff in illinois. it's only sold in chicago (ugh), otherwise you have to go to indiana (double ugh) to get it. and even then, if you can find it, there's usually a single 6-pack limit on it because of scarcity. anyways, the beer. typing as i was drinking: lots of grapefruit and pine in the aroma. huge citra hop profile on the first taste. grapefruit, citrus fruits, dank and bitter af, but lots of malty sweetness. very well balanced. very smooth. almost a little under-carbonated, but the head is hanging on well. as it's warming up in the glass a bit, more pine is coming through, but the grapefruit still dominates. kinda syrupy with all that sweetness. yep. this beer is still in my all time top 5. last couple sips left now. lots of lacing on the sides of my fancy ipa spiegelau glass. now that it's gone, i'm tempted to crack the second one. but i'll probably hang onto it for later tonight. with yesterday's union block party in front of our house, i was pretty sure i'd spend all day today hung over. managed to pace myself and alternate well enough to avoid a hangover this morning. but a little hair of the dog still felt right. day 2 of all day drinking has officially commenced.

All done. HBD to me!

yup. just as good as i remember.

bout ta get legless mate!

it's 5 o'clock in GBR. close enough!

right? i mean, it's a holiday AND it's my birthday. i think it's probably fine.

a friend brought me two bottles of zombie dust this morning as a bday gift. it's not too early to enjoy one of them, right?

i'm not 100% on this, but it sounds like the middle boy is watching mlp music videos on his tablet. i'm afraid to go look.

How about 3 1/2 out of 24? That's like, 15th percentile. Pretty bad, in case you didn't do math good.

that's a hard yes.

you can make small batch (<6 gallons) wine with equipment starter kits that also run around $100. i've never tried it, but i assume it would be cheaper than beer for the ingredients since you're already supplying the grapes. just yeast and sugar and maybe some finings? not sure. one of the great things about beer and wine making is that there's a massive online resource for them. reddit is great, obviously, but there are multiple communities dedicated to the craft, online swap shops for equipment and recipes, and free and easy access to professionals for just about anything you'd need to ask.

we've been in high 80s/low 90s for the last month, but there was a cold front that pushed thru tuesday and dropped our highs by about 10 degrees for a few days. we're back up to 90s today. thanks for checking out the bar! we're constricted to a very small space so we don't have room for a kitchen or anything else that takes up much room. that's part of the reason we're doing the beer garden. there's enough room over there to go as big as we please.
