Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

Have BA and RB jumped the shark?

I would take that rant even further and say that if any beer tastes good drink it. Hell if any liquid tastes good drink that too.

Holy F.
Let me guess..... too "hipster" now?
I can't stand those who are anti-trendy just because of a fear of it no longer being cool. Quit being such a snob.
Seems a bit ragey to me.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

Edit* FEUDO already made a similar point. George Michael doesn't agree.

Not rage. Stating firm opinion.
Sort of like the one I have about your limp response (which I'll keep to myself). Don't want anti-ragers getting their dander ruffled.

"Holy F." is clearly not an opinion but something someone says when angered. "too 'hipster' now", "snob", "limp response" are all very good examples of ad hominem attacks. Whatever opinion you did have was certainly overshadowed by these things.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

I think that statement was to simply put his own views in context, not to derail the whole thread.

Craft beer has definitely not jumped the shark. Sure the revolution became trendy, but this segment continues to evolve.

Why single out this thread in particular? The singling out of anything or anyone is the funniest part of RageTowel. Well, funny or sadly inevitable. Alcohol usually is (or has for some time...) been involved.

Alcohol or rage? 'cause that sounds like rage typing to me!

(this post may or may not have been influenced or inspired by alcohol.)

I'd be more than happy to! Do you know anyone else in the area that is ... an enthusiast of the brewed arts?
