"Who cares, they both make beers that suck."

[grateful]

Interesting!  I always assumed they got along...

[Sieve-Fisted]

An excellent article. I thought they worked together. I would buy more Evil Twin or Mikkeller, but their beers are always so expensive.

Does your wife read Beer Advocate as well?  I didn't think any women would read that.

[James Ford]

No, she does not read Beer Advocate. She came about her love for hoppy IPA's all on her own.

Does your wife read the 9:30 forum?

No, why would she?  I am glad your wife doesn't read Beer Advocate.

Do you think she would be amused by the atomic character you play on here?

Probably not.  Would your wife be amused by your posts on here?

Some of my best zingers are quotes stolen from her.

Others as ones she wholeheartedly approves of.

Others are ones she thinks make me look like an asshole.

Ozzy vs. Brewers Art

[sweetcell]

they must have known that one was coming some day. 

i assumed until now that Ozzy had given them permission (for a fee) to use that name, label, etc.

I opened a Bolt Cutter over the weekend. Better now than it was fresh, but nothing special. Sucaba might be the best bareleywine I've had.

Anyone with KBS info for VA or DC feel free to PM it to me!

[James Ford]

I'd need to do a side by side with BCBSBW, but can't say I disagree. Also sitting on a CEntral WAters BBBW, which is supposed to me top notch.

Really like Great Divide Old Ruffian in terms of American style, non barrel aged.
