Zambrano getting rattled early is one of my great joys in life.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) Fat Tire is delicious. I'm a big fan as well. Can't wait until we can get it here.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 01:17 AM) My friend had some micro brew called like 1554 or something. It had a chocolatey aftertaste. He loved it. I don't like beer, so naturally I didn't like it, but it was weird how it had a chocolate taste. I found it online.... http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/192/1914 Dying to try that one! We're supposedly on the verge of getting New Belgium's stuff in FL, but it will be a gradual rollout starting with Fat Tire and then slowly getting in some others. I saw this on on tap at a Yard House in L.A. a couple of weeks ago but when I tried to order it the server told be the keg had just kicked so I got shut out.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 03:18 AM) I need to get laid. Just throwing that out there. How fast can you get to London, because it sounds like DBAHO is drunk and could be convinced. . . just sayin'

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) Had 6 free Kichin Ichiban's tonite. Wasn't complainin at all.... If you had some chirashi sashimi to go along with it that would be a perfect evening.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:58 AM) I didn't realize they had them out of the Boston area. Kind of like the Chicago pizza franchises. Uno's is good anywhere in Chicago but the ones in Florida, Boston and California were bad. I think that's probably a good comparison. Uno's and Giordano's both down here just don't get it right. Wrong sausage mostly, but wrong sauce and spices as well. Man do I miss Chicago pizza!

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) I like Hoegarden, but I prefer the Moon. Fair enough. I've drank my share as well and it didn't kill me.

All you Blue Moonies, do yourself a favor just once this summer and treat yourself to a Hoegarden when you see it on tap. It will likely ruin Blue Moon for you, but you'll be moving up a rung or two on the quality ladder.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 09:22 AM) I figure if nothing else I probably owe you a round for being a jerk to you in the Filibuster. Resolving differences over a beer. . . Just like they do in the Obama White House!

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 05:40 PM) fixed One recipe in Remixed that caught my eye was the Dharma Bum, a hot drink of Tazo organic chai concentrate, Silk soy creamer, and spiced rum. I'm wondering why, besides a possible endorsement, he would prefer soy creamer to regular creamer. That one caught my eye as well. I assume the call for soy creamer is both because Jeff indicates the chai and creamer should be boiled and not just heated, and possibly also from a stylistic standpoint to match the Indian-Asian tone set by the use of chai. You seriously need to try the Remsberg Planter at soonest convenience, one of the best rum drinks I've encountered in a long time. And I fibbed before. . . it's only 3 ounces of Coruba and not 4. I was thinking of the Beachbum interpretation of the original Pat O'Brien Hurricane that uses a full 4 ounces of Coruba.

QUOTE (False Alarm @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 04:36 PM) a maybe-weird drink i picked up somewhere along the way that i really enjoy when relaxing in hot weather: bad apple strongbow cider 2 oz bourbon (i've used maker's, but there may be a better match for strongbow) ice that's it. i also like oberon and summer shandy that time of year. That sounds like a winner. A nice twist on a boilermaker. I bet the same drink with Laird's Applejack instead of bourbon would work nicely as well. So many great drinks, so few liver cells.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) I'll be there for a Soxtalkers wedding (Shipps). I'll be in Miami for 2 days and than Orlando for 3 days. October 10th, 11th, and part of the 12th. I think we are going to do Disneyland on the 10th and than haven't decided between Sea world (my wife took a lot of oceanography classes and absolutely loves sea world out here and marine animals in general), Universal or whatever for the 11th. We'll probably lounge on the 12th at the hotel pool. Let me know, drinks would be great. October is a nice time to be here, and the crazy 8-hour lines for the Harry Potter attraction at Universal will have died down by then. That is also right around when the EPCOT Food and Wine festival is held, which is fun but can get pricey. We have the resident Disney and Universal passes though, so a couple of rounds of drinks in the British pub at EPCOT or Universal always make for a good time. Don't alter your travel plans for it, but if you are driving up I-95 from Miami you'll be in striking distance of Fort Pierce and the oceanographic institute I work at. Given your wife's interest in marine science I'd be happy to give you a behind the scenes look at our digs, including our research submersibles, fish hatcheries, dolphin rehab center, etc.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Only 97% of the scientific community believe humans are causing climate change. Yep, you can bet that's exactly how the deniers will paint it — only a 97% consensus. It's hard to think of any other topic where there is a 97% agreement in the scientific community.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:37 PM) I keep listening to this. They're playing a show at Schubas next week. They would be fun to see there.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 12:12 PM) Hey Jim I'm gonna be in Florida this summer. Are you close to Miami or Orlando? Business or Pleasure? I'm a little more than an hour east of Orlando. Let me know when you're going to be in the area and I'll try to swing out to meet up for a beer.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) It's not oil spill related but I missed this while I was conferencing. Yowza. No wonder the Japanese keep winning those votes. Yup. If you haven't seen The Cove yet you'll get an eyeful of all the different ways japan buys IWC votes. It is beyond criminal.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 11:59 AM) Neptune Oyster is a good place. You can't go wrong there. Legal is a chain, but don't sell it short. It still has outstanding food. I've eaten at two Legals and one was excellent (the one across from New England Aquarium) and the other very forgettable (is south Florida). The family that started Legal was instrumental in the modernization of the way commercial seafood is handled and processed in the US though, so yeah, they have quite a good industry reputation for quality control.
