Stormpc Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Great info Mattie. Never had any idea Of the complexity. I have to purchase some more gingerbread today before it runs out. I found it at a local Food Lion. Somehow they carry a great assortment of beer. You would never know. I also bought the standard GBS bourbon barrel. I was going to crack that last night but didn't want to be thrown off by the lingering gingerbread taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink one this year, and try to save another for next year, if you can. That beer is incredible when fresh, but it’s even better when it has a little age on it.

Making cranberry sauce and getting the scalloped potatoes into the Pyrex dish. Turkey is in the fridge and we’re heading to the store tomorrow for all the other fixins! Meanwhile, I’m enjoying my first Backwoods Bastard of the season this evening... Thanksgiving dessert prep started this morning when I picked up a jewish apple cake at the Westminster farmer's market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Impressive dissertation Mattie... brings back memories of living in Fkt, Germany where the largest brewery in the world outside the US is located (the 5 largest are in the US on a volume scale). That's the Henninger Brewery in Sachsenhausen. Not that this is about volume, but the visceral experience of the finer results of what can be done with water, barley and hops. I lived about a mile as a crow flies from the Henninger compound during my first of two assignments Fkt. When the wind blew just right in the Summer (all the windows are open cause nobody has AC) you could just about get drunk from the aroma. And of course, with the Reinheitsgebot the purity of the experience was fantastic. While I don't mind a good IPA, in general, the worse German beer is better than the best American beer - at least wrt the big name brands. Haven't drank a "normal" American beer in 25+ years since my first round in Fkt in the late 80's. Couldn't stomach what the US was and/or is producing (again, speaking about the big brands). With the explosion of IPAs in the US over the last 10-15 years the options now are far more enticing. However... I'll still go for a Dinkelacker as one of my personal "big brand" favorites. The singularly best beer I ever had of any kind was from a microbrewery at a monastery along the Danube, Kloster Weltenburg. It is in competition with another abby as the oldest monastic brewery in the world. Stopped by there on a week long bike tour of the Danube with a friend in 1990. Was a hot summer day and the pils they served was amazing. Will never forget it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Ravens offense is absolutely putrid. Love watching other teams who seem to have no problem making fundamental positive plays on a regular basis. Ravens D has 3 turnovers, and 3 points to show for it.

Cobalt Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The Redskins doing what they do best.. going from what looked like a playoff caliber team in 3 quarters to becoming a total joke in the last 3 minutes. So many things went against them that the game seemed scripted, even though the Skins put it on themselves. To be honest I'd rather not watch the Redskins win their last 6 just to play against these teams again in the playoffs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Meanwhile the Ravens managed to dominate against a backup QB in GB. Their offense is putrid. Defense is an enigma- of their 5 wins, 3 are shutouts, but they still tend to fold down the stretch in close games. All that said, they are 5-5 in a really mediocre AFC, outside of NE and Pittsburgh.

The playoffs this year might be the best in recent memory . Rams, Vikings, Eagles, Seahawks. All really good teams. I'm glad we might have a decent Superbowl shakeup this year team-wise. If I were to guess this far out, It'll either be Saints vs Vikings or Vikings vs Eagles in the NFC Championship. Would be legendary to see Brees vs Brady in the Superbowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
