Beer 2025: Merry Christmas Everyone, Including the Haters and Losers
I think Greenspoint posted that picture because we'd never believe it was a real place when he inevitably posts that it closed.

Hey Steel Shank!
This is my one and only "raw tomato on a sandwich" exception. And a fine one it is.

Happy Independence Day, Fellow Texans!
If anyone's curious in outsider (who has visited a fair amount) perspective... Texas is kind of a mini United States inside the United States. Because it is so fucking big, it encompasses a dramatic mix of landscapes and biomes. It has a unique blend of cultural influences from the Spanish who set up missions, Mexicans who came north, Germans and Czechs who came overseas, and settlers from the American southeast who brought slavery (and therefore a major African influence) with them. This fairly unique stew of influences created some truly native cuisine and music - both of which are often really damn good. It also has the unusual (but not wholly unique) distinction of having been a sovereign nation for a brief period of time. All of this contributes to the mix of pride and exceptionalism that is simultaneously admirable and nauseating. It's admirable because having pride in one's home is an absolutely essential ingredient to ensure investment in that place's success, and Texans are fucking invested. It's nauseating because it helps breeds an incredible amount of insularity, ignorance, and tribalistic isolation. I think it's cool as hell that people in Texas fly the state flag everywhere and are fiercely proud of Texan artists and Texan cuisine. I think it's fucking ridiculous that Bud Light has to slap the state outline on the label to sell it's product. I'm almost positive I could stamp a lone star into cowpies, and sell them at Buccees. I'm also envious of how you can roll into some tiny town in absolute nowhere Texas and find a crazy good band tearing it up on a Saturday night. America right now is in the middle of being divided between urban and rural, and the differences in culture from one state to another are becoming less. Texas is politically in the same place as all other states controlled by Republicans. The unique spirit of it's people seems to still come through, but who knows for how long. Who knows how long that will exist anywhere.

I used to trade for JK sours and farmhouses and absolutely love those beers. I'd buy them if I could, but I don't really have the time and energy to trade for beers these days.

You pointed this out to me recently and it blew my mind that this was a regional oddity. I had never noticed it.

I'd have to think the value generators in the SEC and Big 10 are watching this very closely. Purdue getting Ohio State $ and Vanderbilt getting UT $ is not long for this world.- College Hoops 2024-25
MO State was a shit team that Drake let hang around for way too long. They had absolutely no gas left for OT.- Shoresy (Letterkenny Spin-off on Hulu)
FIFY. I have family in Winnipeg, and a night on the town with them is absolutely something else. All their friends are smoke shows. Hell, even the fat one is extremely pretty in the face. I don't really get it, because IMO, in the US there's not a significant difference from one part of the country to another. Some places have a lot of good looking women, but those places all have plenty of nasty at the same time. You just never see truly ugly chicks in Canada.- College Hoops 2024-25
When you say it out loud it sounds like pure hyperbole, but I 100% believe this. I can't tell you how many games I've just started watching on ESPN+ because of how long the previous game was taking, and then just end up watching the whole game on that app. Which is exactly what ESPN wants.- Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Other Good Stuff

They have to do something about the last 1:00 of college basketball games. Prior to an ISU game a few weeks ago, there was a game where :10 seconds of game that took 13 minutes of actual time.- Unpopular Opinions Thread
