TSO’s New Beverage of Choice? (smile)
TSO says he likes to hoist a glass now and again. So, do you think he’ll be a fan of his Indianapolis’ own Wee Mack Scottish Ale – by Sun King Brewery?
Better run out and get a six-pack or two before they’re all gone, TSO. (smile)

No, you have it wrong!
He is not drinking something different, he is just drinking more!
I know, the sheer numbers of dirty diapers of a new born can do that to a man!
I think you might want to read the linked article again, MCPO. (smile)
I did. When I had my kid … I drank water, coffee, non-alkohole bevaredges, Cocco-Coala, Lipton Tea and beer … Many cans stamped with the names with of people I hate! …
Oh, TSO likes the Patriots?
The only thing worse than the Patriots are their fans. Not you TSO, Just all the other ones.
Who? Isn’t that girl in time out or something.
Just wanted to say:

Never mind TSO. The Steeler fans are here!:)
Sorry. Should be Steelers.
There was a story published a day or so ago regarding the NFL, those fellows of sterling character who, for the most part, could have done most anything with their college educations, if only they would first learn to read and write. The story was about arrests, 260 of them over the past five years. 260 NFL players arrested. The Vikings lead this category (18), followed by the Broncos (16), and the Colts/Buccaneers are tied with 13 each. I don’t know what the heck is wrong with Houston. I really don’t. In five years, they managed only one (1) player arrested. They have a lot of catching up to do.
Go Broncos!
One of the Colts players that got arrested was the punter. The story is that he got drunk and went swimming in the canal. I call BS on that one, his drunk ass fell in. He was a good sport about it. For a while there he was selling t-shirts that said “I went swimming with Pat McAfee” and donated the money to charity. Another one was a guy a couple of years ago that when he was arrested he made a big deal out of being a Colt trying to not get arrested. He was cut from the team before he even made bail.
Forget the Ale, we all are aging. As the former (first) Air Force then Army acknowledge authority on fine wine (no lie it was part of my AFSC/MOS), I discovered a new grape produced by California vintners who primarily produce Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Grigio wines. They developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the bathroom during the night. The wine is called “PINO MORE”
I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE!!
Sorry, it was too good to let pass!
Son of a bitch. I’ve drank that twice in the past month and liked it but no way I can drink now.
Since you won’t have much football to watch this season you can come to Broad Ripple, try the Rock-A-Rye Baby and watch the Steelers.
Order the Scottish Eggs, they will put some hair on your ass and you will fit right in.

Nothing over 7% ABV??? Meh.
I heard there was a New England brewery producing “Patriots Brew” but it flopped, many folks though it was FLAT, thus the brand fell FLAT on its face. 😀
Yeah, it was another big “deflated”.
big idea “deflated”
(I could swear I typed idea…maybe too much vino…”)
If you ever find yourself in Battle Creek, Michigan, stop in at 103 W Michigan Ave and try some of these great beers. I’d highly recommend the Hopmouth Double IPA. Just make damn sure you have a designated driver, all right? 😉

You kids and all your artisan brews. You’re the same ones that drink your coffee black and then bitch about all the double non-fat soy latte bullshit while you go to your fancy little brew pub and order up a fart huffer flannel triple IPA with a shot of hops.
Beer is meant to be drank for refreshment and ease of drinking, like a fine German Lager, not seeing how many hops you can stuff in a mug and call it an ale. I’ve never gotten how someone can think that drinking mud (Guiness) or going into a hop coma is supposed to be beer drinking.
I was working in the hot sun, one day, and my sister-in-law brought me out a beer to quench my thirst. I was up for that, until the first swallow. It was an IPA and I looked at her and asked her WTF is that!?!? It did not quench my thirst and was actually quite difficult to enjoy while sweating.
Give me a Lager or Pilsner and keep your mud and hyper-hopped crap Ales (qualifier; I do enjoy a Newcastle from time to time). The reason everyone is making Ales is because they’re easy to make compared to a Lager. So, they have to jazz them up in as many ways as they can to distinguish their crap from the next guy’s. Thus, you get all the over hopped stuff they think is beer.
To each his own.
However, the reason for extra hops in an IPA isn’t ease of brewing. Hops is a natural preservative; that fact is why IPAs in particular are highly hopped.
IPA gets its name because British sailing ships often shipped beer or ale instead of water for the crew to drink (water became non-potable over time also). The voyage to India was a long one. Through trial and error, the ships’ pursers found that the more highly hopped ales resisted spoilage longer.
Over time, a pale or medium ale brewed with extra hops came to be called an “India ale” – because it was the beverage of choice for ships sailing to India. The pale versions were called “India pale ales”.
FWIW: the beer generally acknowledged to be the world’s best isn’t even German; it’s Czech – Pilsner Urquell. It’s brewed in Plzen, Czech Republic; the term pilsner is derived from the town’s name.
No, I said Ales are easy to brew compared to Lagers. That’s why they are more popular.
Yeah, I know the history of the Ales, as I was looking at doing some home brewing and had read up on the different types, plus I have several friends and co-workers that home brew. They’re into all that crafty crap. I know; to each his own, but I don’t want to hear any of them making fun of the latte crowd.
As for world’s best, I drink Pils Urquell once in a while. Like I said; give me a Lager or Pilsner and I’m good.
Also, parts of the Czech area were, at one time, part of Germany. Just sayin’
Agreed, to each his own. I personally find most pilsners (and many lagers) rather lacking in flavor and watery; I’ll take a good ale or an amber lager like Yuengling or Sam Adams any day instead.
I like amber lagers. There, again, they’re lagers 🙂
OT, ever try New Zealand lager?
I used to enjoy a good local (and aren’t they all?) brand of krystalweissen when I was stationed in Germany. Ummmmm. . …
Anything with wheat is good… hefeweizen, perlweizen, elgian wits… they’re all lovely.
Don;t forget that one of the towns the Germans and Czechs have swapped spit over for years the Czechs call C’eske Budejovice – and the Germans call Budweis. Three guesses what beer is named for there…
Never cared much for weissbier – it always tasted “off” to me.
About the other – yep. And US Budweiser is a p!ss-poor imitation of the real thing (Budweiser-Budvar from the Czech republic)/ You won’t find it sold by that name in the US – here, it’s called “Czechvar” due to a trademark dispute (Anheuser-Busch owns the “Budweiser” trademark in the US).
