****ss is good beer, the trick is finding a place that has it on tap, it tastes a little flat out of a bottle or can, even though they stick that little ball in there.

Seen they got a new black lager out, sounds interesting, might have to check that out. Was going to pick some up but I was in a hurry and you cant by beer at the self checkout, that and my wife says I cant buy anymore beer until we finish whats in the fridge.

UGH!!

I havnt got that crap since high school, which was before I knew what real beer was supposed to taste like, my wife got that stuff like 2 months ago for her birthday party, why? cause it was on sale, she got 2 cases of the crap, still like 6 bottles in the fridge, If I want some real beer I guess Im gonna have to take one for the team and drink em.

There isn't much to talk about regarding beer. At least, for me. I've got a large backlog of microbrews and imports I haven't tried yet, so I don't even want new recomendations at this point, and I get my homebrewing advice/info from other sources, and plenty of it.

Beyond that sort of thing, what is there to talk about?

Being a fan is one thing, being a Brony is another.  It's ok, though.  A lot of people think a lot of things are cool cuz a lot of people say they are.

Did ... did you just cite 'Derpy Hooves' as an indicator of quality?  How old are you?  Five?  Like, srsly brah.  That's awful.  It's stupid.  It's lame.  It's terrible, hack writing - which is what you typically find in a kid's show cuz, well, they can get away with it since the audience isn't totally aware. 

Damn, yo.  'We'll just make up a silly name instead of writing something actually funny' isn't good.  In fact, it's the opposite.  Like, what's next?  Poopy Pants Pony?  Wow ...

Oh well, at least you've gone ahead and proven me right.  Thanks for that.

So the defense of the name is that they let 4chan submit it?  I'm, uhh, less convinced now than ever.

When is Poopy Pants Pony expected to make his/her debut?  It's funny cuz (as draco said) ponies don't wear pants!!    Man, I could so work for that show.

Hmm ... I'm actually a fan of quite a few varieties and am always trying to expand my range.  Overall - due to ease of access - I'd have to say a simple pepper jack is what I find myself drawn to.  Not very ... refined, no, but not bad.  The last time I ate at Mallorca (a restaurant, not the place), we had a wonderful appetizer of apples paired with manchego cheese.  Quite an interesting pairing due not only to flavor but texture as well.  Quite good.  Oh, and goat cheese is pretty awesome, too.

Doesn't matter, Grunkle Stan carries the show.

Also, dude...Adventure Time is one of the better shows on TV, cartoon or no. That show is, at times, rutting tragic (see, Ice King.), very funny, often in the same scene (as most of the best stories are).

Yeah, I've seen some of those "tragic" or "deep" episodes... I really wish I didn't. Much uproar about ealry 2000s webcomic level drama. I don't think AT really should have gone for so long.
Bravest Warriors is way better and the episodes are shorter, which is usually a plus in shows that run on weirdness.
