Hey BB, I'm admittedly stupid when it comes to beer, but what do you know about Session Golden Ale?

Is this the one by the Williams Brothers?

Unfortunately, I've never had it so I can't comment on it. Judging the by the reviews, though, it seems like it would indeed be a good "session" beer that you could drink all night.

beer in a nosing glass? I'll have to try that, sounds good.

Yeah, I think it contributes a good bit to the aroma, and I like the way the snifter feels in my hand. I've been getting into bourbon a lot lately, and I'll drink bourbon from it as well -- I have no clue if that's the right glassware for the bourbon, though.

yeah that's it. I like it but there's just not enough alcohol in it. Especially for $7.50 a bottle.

Who cares if it's right. The key elements are there to enjoy the drink as long as the general glass shape funnels the scent to your nose.

I've been drinking more scotch lately. :yesnod:

The next bottle of liquor I purchase will be scotch. Any recommendations for someone relatively new to the spirit? I have had Glenlivet and enjoyed it in the past. If my beer tastes are any indication, I could see myself liking the more peat-smoked scotches.

I tried a couple of Abt 12 last night because I couldn't help myself. Very good beer, smooth, and just the right bitterness. And Good God that beer packs a wallop.

That really is one of the best Belgians out there. Glad you liked it! If you want to try more styles that are similar, look for Belgian Strong Dark Ales. Chimay Blue comes to mind as another good one that you can find just about anywhere. Unibroue Maudite is another good one that's not tough to find.

And yes, all of these higher-gravity beers can sneak up on you if you're not careful!

Did you have the smaller bottles or the big 22 oz. bottle? You've got to think: a 22 oz. bottle of a 10% beer is equivalent to about four regular beers, and you're consuming it much quicker.

I usually have around three 10% beers at my favorite bar, and that's too much for me. I'm by no means wasted, but I should really stick to two (unless I'm home).

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
