Well Grand River no longer looks like it's brewed by small children. Which is good. I think GLB's silk-screened bombers can look very Rogue-ish. I'm talking the Oregeon brewery that pumps out Dead Guy and Brutal IPA. Not complaining though, GLB Bitter Wife looks great. Okay, I'm missing something. ...

I like the lounge, but it's annoying to try to figure out when it's ok to come in for a beer. It is open tonight? Is there a band playing tonight? Is there a cover charge tonight? Forget it, lets go somewhere else. You should have a dedicated website or something that spells it out clearly. Or tweet...

At first I didn't want to join your game. After all, you took the time to create it, and you were nice enough to invite everyone. The last thing I would want to do after such a nice gesture would be to whip your ass in a fantasy pool, but I changed my mind. But seriously, I look forward to defending...

I doubt that this is the same beer, but when i had a tour of the unibroue brewery last month, the guide said that they had already made a huge batch of a new beer that has already aged for 1 year in whisky barrels, and it still has 2 years to go. again, probably not hte same beer but good news anyway.
