I've got one of those shirts too! I love it! My next post will be eight bridges. And yes, Maui Waui is an awesome frickin beer. It even smells like weed.

Does Sea Dog make a blueberry beer with a dog on it in a poncho? My wife loves that beer.

So I'll start. Altamont Beer Works Livermore, CA This place is the most trendy brewery for locals to go to. They fill growlers here for $10 and will even fill a growler from a different brewery, so long as you buy one of their branded neoprene sleeves to go over it. They don't do pints here, except on Thursdays, which is keep the pint glass night. They've told me the pint restriction has something to do with their landlord not wanting the place to be a "bar" per se. They do flights for $6-$7, and you usually get five or six flavors. They rotate in their seasonals and substitute the core beers as needed throughout the year on their flights. They also have a pretty awesome barbecue food truck that stays outside on the weekends. What To Try There: Hella Hoppy, DIPA I really enjoy one of their flagship beers, Hella Hoppy IIPA. This beer comes in at a massive 9%, and you certainly taste it as it is LOADED with massive amounts of various local hops. Paying homage to the Northern California region by using the term "Hella" makes me a bit biased into loving this beer just a little more. If you are a hop-head, this is the beer for you. Mac Drizzle, Imperial Dark Ale Another beer that pays homage to the region, the late great rapper Mac Dre, Mac Drizzle is a robust 9.2% Dark Ale that drinks more like a triple IPA in my opinion. It is a pretty heavy beer that's got a delicious malt flavor that kind of masks a tropical taste underneath. This beer is seasonal, and while you can sometimes find it at various times of the year, it is typically released on the dates of Mac Dre's birthday, and the day he died. (July and November) Berry White, Wheat Cream Ale Can't get enough of this beer, baaaby (See what I did there). This is a wheat cream ale that friggin rocks. This beer is also seasonal, but at just 4.7%, is a great summertime libation out by the pool or at a BBQ. My wife loves wheat beer, so this is her favorite from Altamont. I'd say the only true drawback to this beer is that I feel like it hasn't tasted EXACTLY the same each time I've had it. Now, it could just be me, but I feel like there is a little bit too much taste fluctuation for this to be distributed right now. Maybe it's something with the berries in the brewing process or maybe they use different berries from a different farm or something, but it's been just a little bit different to me on various occasions. All were very good, but again, you need to be consistent.

What craft breweries are near you, or which ones have you been to that you feel are worth mentioning? There are A LOT of great beers out there being made by some really creative brewmasters, that are often too small to get much beyond regional distribution, so if you aren't from that area, you may not have heard of them. Then there are bigger ones like the Stone Brewing Mothership in SoCal that have huge nationwide distribution, but still kick ass and are certainly worth a mention. My wife and I spent our birthdays last year (our bdays are a day apart in October) and we did basically a brewery tour and spent seven days driving down from Northern Cali to SoCal and stopped at 28 different breweries along the way. It was friggin awesome.

Chili's >>>>> Applebee's But we don't need to go down that road again...

I don't know if he's worth as much as he thinks he is, but in my opinion Russell Wilson is a pretty damn good quarterback.

Firestone Walker has an awesome brewery in Paso Robles. But a little-known gem of a brewery that started right down the street is called Barrelhouse Brewing Co. They make some pretty good variety of beers, but the real reason to go is the way the brewery is setup. They have a huge wooden bar top and these roll up doors where you can sit outside on their lawn under an umbrella to drink their beers. My wife loves that place and we stop in for a cold one every time we are going past there.

My home screen is my most used apps. Untapped is there. Love that ish.

Yessir!!

Go to belching beaver bro. If you are at ballast point you are only a few miles away.

I'm hearing Crabtree's deal is 1 year $3MM. Same as Peanut. Which leads me to ask, does everyone agree all things being equal that we got a better deal with Tillman than the Raiders got with Crabtree?

Substitute every Crabtree with Luck and every Raiders with Panthers and you've got 75% of the people on this board lol.

There is exactly 0% chance a new thread isn't started if Jennings signs here, so changing this thread title is pointless. And I'm not being hyperbolic to make a point. 0% chance.

Well you know what they say honesty is the best policy.

When I was fighting a defrauding an innkeeper case I told my lawyer to tell them I was so gone on drugs that I was actually retarded or insane. Lawyers will say whatever they need to in order to keep your ass out of jail.

I don't want to derail this thread to the tinderbox, but if one guy walks up to me and talks to me with his hand on my shoulder, and the other one comes up and talks to me with his hand on my thigh, there isn't going to be a whole heck of a lot of confusion as to which one I'm going to trust and maybe listen to. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Jeebus how does a corner have so many forced fumbles????

So this isn't exactly a Target signing or a Dollar Store signing. This is like a Burlington Coat Factory signing where you get a really good deal on stuff that was cool three years ago.

Is Luke married? Looks like he's wearing a wedding band.

Most logical post yet in this thread. He's been saying he's going to take his time and decide. He's just doing his due diligence by going to teams and seeing what they have in mind vs. what he has in mind and then probably weighing various contract offers, etc. At this point there really isn't much reason to sign with a team hastily.

I usually prefer to do a little bump at like 3am, but this one was nice too.

Can't really compare basketball to football though. In the NBA, the star players absolutely run the league without question. In the NFL, the star players get a lesson in revenue charts while their players' union gets its ass kicked by the owners.

Don't you know? Dan Marino is garbage. He's almost as good as Stafford.

What is that U-shaped body of water near you?

Hey you're back!
