But I do like hoppy beers, and concur on the Celebration. It is not my favorite winter (Sam Smith's), but it's good.

Sebastian, poor predictable Sebastian, poor silly I-read-Fear-and-Loathing-fifteen-too-many-times Sebastian unsurprisingly goes for the metric of dick length being proportional to your beer's alcohol content. But I like the strong beers too. So I guess I am not sure what the point of this post is. Sometimes I just like to type things because I find the clicky-clack, clicky-clack of the keys on my keyboard to be pleasing to the ear and soothing to the soul.

That last one is just silly. Somebody bought me a case of it in college and even then it took a few weeks to plow through the stuff.

Or at least that's what Sebastian and his horde of slack-jawed comrades with their glassy eyes and Smokin'-Cheddar-BBQ-Dorito-stained fingers would have you believe. Don't believe the hype, my brother.

By the by, I passed a car today that had a bumper sticker that said "you have just been passed by a toaster!" and there was a pic of a stik person with ear muffs next to the word toaster. Translation please?

The Bell's Expedition Stout is simply amazing. Their Double Cream Stout is also great, but Expedition is the tastiest beer I've had.

I love this guy. His distributor tried to play hardball with him in Illinois and he took his toys and went home. Told them to fuck off. Left a market that bought 10% of his beer because he didn't like the way he was being treated.

Plus, I've heard third-hand stories of him showing up drunk at house parties at Western Michigan with a case of Oberon.

And Bells is finally back in Chicago.
