free, is and will always be my fav.

i hate how the wine snobbishness has made its way to beer

It's not a snobbishness -- or it doesn't have to be. It's just recognizing that there are better options than Bud, Miller and Coors out there.

I love introducing craft beer to those who are usually only accustomed to the "big three." Yes, some are pretty close-minded, but for others it's like a whole new world.

Had a couple bombers of this this week. Damned good stuff and its a limited run so grab one while you can.

Maharaja is a really good double IPA. If anyone wants to try it, Vintner Wine Market in the arboretum has it on tap right now. It's been on for a week or two, so you may want to go soon if you want to try it.

Sorry if it seems I'm always advocating Vintner Wine Market, but it's really a great place for anyone who wants to try some great (and sometimes rare) beers. Don't let the name fool you into thinking they're only about wine.

Anyone who wants to try the Avery Maharaja, Vintner Wine Market in the arboretum is doing it for a buck off tonight (along with another very good IPA, the Dogfish Head 90-minute).

I promise I have nothing to gain by endorsing this place. :P

Those 90 minute Dog Fish have a bit too alcoholish of a taste to me. Pumping a beer full of %%% can ruin the taste like in this case

I refuse to drink anything that I will have a problem pronouncing after drinking a few of them.

:P

I think -- and I've heard others say this as well -- that the 90-minute has changed over the years. I don't think the alcohol is that noticeable, but it seems to me the beer has almost become malt-heavy. It was always a well-balanced double IPA, but now I feel like it drinks almost like an American barleywine.

New Belgium 1554 Enlightened black Ale.

That's one of my favorite New Belgium beers (granted I haven't tried some of their better beers). It's a light dark beer. :P Perfect for a backyard barbecue when you want something that works well with the food but isn't a boring yellow lager (nothing against lagers, but sometimes you want something different).

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
