Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

That's a damn fine beer. I also love their Big A. That is stunning.


I'm drinking Brewdog's Avery Brown Dredge. Sounds appetizing amirite..? Yeah, it's Czech style pilsner that has been heavily hopped. It's pretty much as it sounds. Hoppy, acidic, lots of carbonation but not as sharp as I expect from a Czech pilsner. Disappointing.

I didn't realize so many US craft beers made there way to Europe. But Smuttynose is a pretty decent brewery, I bought a mix pack the other day since I hadn't had a smutty in probably over a year.

Polar seltzer with lemon right now, but it is 1030 in the morning. Once the Celtics. vs. Heat game is on at 330, I'll be cracking open some craft beers, like Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold and Flying Dog Woody Creek White. I got hooked on craft beer a while back, and now it's a bit of a hobby, but damn it's made drinking beer a lot more expensive.
I run the 8/16-bit retro site TimeWarpGamer and if you want to follow the latest updates, check me out on Twitter.

It is more expensive but much, much better. I'll take a $12 4 pack over a $12 30 pack any day.

It's always an acceptable time to drink somewhere in the world.

I'm on my 3rd breakfast beer. Drinking Corona Light because the plan is to get something accomplished later on today and Corona Light is like the cool-aid of beers.

The pub I work at is a bit of a special case. We're one of the best bars in the country as far as selection is concerned. As far as US craft breweries we stock, (in no particular order) Rogue, Sierra Nevada, Dogfish Head, Flying Dog, Smuttynose, Stone, Anchor, Brooklyn, Goose Island, Ballast Point, Odell, Hoppin' Frog, Green Flash, Victory and Port Brewing. So yeah, if we can't get it, then it's either too expensive to import or they just don't export it.

I'm in the mood to try a "good" beer today. You know, one of these expensive types. Any suggestions?

Depends what you have access to.

The usual places I guess. Bars, grocery stores. There's also two pretty large distributors with a big stock by me, was thinking about stopping there and checking out the selection to see if anything grabbed my eye. I much prefer dark beer over light.
