Grateful Dead

Man, that was quick, good catch. It is a great song, just sets a tone.

I used to like drinking, to various degrees of excess over different times, then I began to get migraines when I drank any champagne at all, and that sucked because I liked champagne. Later it progressed to a migraine if I consumed even a little of any kind of alcohol, not even enough to catch a buzz. Sucked the fun out of it when even a glass of wine or a cocktail led to a day of feeling like someone was trying to kick their way out of my head through an eye.

identify every time the GD did "Beer Barrel Polka"

Then I fumbled through my closet
For my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt

Great song, great man.

Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for desert...

Hey Now Rusty String-

Thanks for the post on German Bier. So happens there is microbrewery here in KC called KCBier Co which specializes in the exact style of brews you mention. From their website, here is a list of year round brews:
“Dunkel, Hefeweizen, Helles and Pils are available in bottles and on draught year-round”....here’s a link to more info about their beers and brewing methods which supposedly imitate traditional German methods.

The Dunkel reminds me a lot of October Fest which I can drink modestly if the weather is right. The Helles is also pretty good, but I’ll bet you a Deutsche Mark that you all brew it better than we do!

Cheers 🍻

My experience with beer:

Drunk in the bathroom
Tell me whaduya see
Beer hacks
Beer hacks
Lookin back at me

Tis only the truth

Pliny the Elder is like 3/1/69, it's a real winner.

I wish this beer topic had come up a few months ago. We recently traveled to Bavaria and spent some time in nearby Regensburg. Sampled quite a few local brews. All were fantastic. Lagers are my favorite. We avoided most of the larger hofbrauhauses as they seemed more like keg parties for adult tourists.

Pliny the Elder was brought up. It’s a beer I hear recommended very often. Just curious about whether or not it is worth tracking down. Philly is one of the few places on the east coast where it seems to be available.

Well, somehow the IPA craze has not gotten hold of my heart here in Germany. As you might know, we are subject to the "Reinheitsgebot" (German purity law) here in Germany, so traditional German beer can only contain very few basic ingredients. However, German brewers have now started to experiment with all kinds of flavours, so we can get IPAs etc. here as well. However, my favourite beer is a classic one from a small brewery. Its name is Leinburger Helles (lager), Leinburger Senator Dunkles (dark beer) or Leinburger Jubiläumsbier 1617 (special edition, and yes, that is the year the brewery was founded). So, if you ever happen to come to a village in Franconia, Germany, called Leinburg, have one of these. I assume the people of Leinburg have never heard of a group called the Grateful Dead, but anyway, their beer is okay.
Last week I was listening to 10/27/90, Le Zenith, Paris, on my way to school. The sun was comin' up while "Space" was slowly transcending into "Playing In The Band". A magical moment. That's what it is all about for me. Exactly the right music at the right time.

Just installed an iflash quad into my 5th gen iPod. Replaced the 60 GB spinning hard drive with 4x256 GB SDXC memory cards. And a new 1300 mAh battery.
Total available storage is 953 GB.
Will use lossless ALAC files.

I have other music players (iBasso DX80, and DX120) that have slots for SDXC cards, but they don’t play music through the USB port. The iPod will play music through the USB port, so I can use it in my car and have lossless and gapless playback. My car will play from a flash drive but only lossy mp3 files and with gaps between songs. The iPod upgrade will be a game changer in the car.
