Good taste! :clapping:

I bounce between wheat beers and stouts myself, and find the infatuation with pale ales to be completely dumbfounding. My favorite stouts tend to include vanilla, and my favorite of those is Southern Tier's Crème Brûlée Imperial Milk Stout: Creme Brulee Imperial Milk Stout (Blackwater Series) | Southern Tier Brewing Company | BeerAdvocate (yes I copied the name, I had no idea how all that crazy accent stuff played out)

As for the other reason I finally replied to somebody here, it's piloting. I grew up absolutely infatuated with Top Gun. I would grill my babysitters over diagrams of F4s and A10s to make sure they understood how everything worked (in my mind, at least). Long story short, I decided that I wanted to fly Navy jets or Marine helicopters. Graduated Valedictorian of Morristown West but decided to stick to my guns--so I approached both recruiting offices and was turned down by both. Turns out that falling off a high diving board and shattering your left arm and shoulder kept you out of the service back then.

Wound up graduating from UT with a Computer Engineering degree and work at Siemens here in Knoxville on PET scanners (love the tech corridor here <3). I got my actual flying (skydiving) license well before I even began working on my private pilot's license, but that's a story for a different day. My father actually wound up buying a Bonanza and I'm logging time on it slowly but surely to finally get my wings. :rock:

Sorry to hear about the arm..stick with the flying! Just started in a 172 for my PPL.

I like Wheat in the summer and Stouts in the Winter..I don't understand the IPA infatuation. To bitter for me.

Mickey's big mouth is another good bad beer.

One of my favorite beers was when I was based at the Quonset Point Naval Air station in Rhode Island, the favorite beer was Narragansett, or as we called it "Gansett". The company was later bought out, the formula changed, and now it sucks. LOL

If you didn't follow EANM: More good stuff is coming your way! SOON!

The passion in the PET industry is pretty amazing. I wish I could tell you the full details of what I'm working on, but all I can say is that it will be as revolutionary as this Gruden hire. :)

Like what, specifically? From what I’ve gathered, he seems to like to talk in codes and is very cryptic. When someone’s cryptic, it’s usually for one reason above others; their FOS. Being cryptic gives people the ability to change the meaning of any topic on a whim. Ex: “Oh you thought I meant that I liked chocolate ice cream..? What I actually meant was that I like vanilla ice cream...

And is he really giving you insights into the “unknown” or is he just reinforcing information that has already surfaced, in a cryptic way, in order to intrigue you enough so that you assume there’s some validity in what he says?

I have exceedingly pedestrian tastes in beer. Some may say "a trailer park beer palate".

Coors Light, Southpaw Light, Yuengling Light are my go-tos. Blue Moon is pretty adventurous for me.

I can't hang with all you stout/porter guys. I can't do really dark, heavy, knife and fork beers.

Then you ought to love Mic Ultra, my favorite.

He has reached out to others on this board and set up golf outings with them...he is not a troll, trolls aren't willing to meet their victims face to face and if you have been paying attention you would know that he has a specific job in getting this deal done and has been spot on with his predictions.
