People told me that I was too young to retire; but I was never one that listened to others -- I do regret it. Ha! I semi-retired for a couple of years but then in 2008 the CDS Crisis hit and I've been working ever since. Good thing I enjoy what I do... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For 82, he is still driving, walking, drinking coffee and probably having sex....I only say "sex" because his wife is not quite 65. LOL... I try to engage him about beer and he starts talking about Root Beer... Here is a pretty darn good cheap German Pils... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rplace 3204 Posted November 2, 2020 Yum, I liked the one I've had. This wonderfully, warm October turned cold the last few days of the month. And November always sees me turning to darker, hardier beers. I've had a bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops that I've been saving since 2016. I decided to crack it open last night. Very well rounded and tasty beer. Not over powered by the bourbon or the oak. I should have bought two! At 11.6 ABV it is not a small beer. Still no noticeable alcohol or heat. Very well done, Brooklyn. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billybob 13208 Posted November 2, 2020 Going to my heavier collection of taste. Stout, dark, seasonal... Egg Nog is back so, usually gravitate towards vodka, and more likely bourbon. Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zen Traveler 1134 Posted November 15, 2020 It's great to see so many people pour a nice ale into a glass but surprising so many would drink from the bottle and NONE from the can... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zen Traveler 1134 Posted November 16, 2020 I Homebrewed for years until I discovered Belhaven Scottish Ale...I then donated my cases of Grolsch bottles (and even more brown pint bottles) to the local Homebrew club....My favorite was using Muntons Nutbrown Ale and fresh strawberries. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
