By request, a gathering spot for Chicago-bound folks to connect and plan!
@ devils friend
Jenny Screamers!!!!
will check out the Ballist point, recommend Mothers Milk, a nice dark one from Keegan brewers in the Hudson valley
@mothers milk....
Will check tomorrow at my local Beverage emporium....
@ Genny Cream
TOTALLY !!
That was my big high school beer. Unbreakable cardboard cases - remember those suckers?
Huge, thick, green bottles.
Then we used to slam Rolling Rocks and argue what the "33" meant.
That, by the way, one of the true mystery questions of life...
Stella....STELLA!!!!!
Where's you at girl?
Miracles happening here in SD land.....
haha, katwoman, mayhaps?
had a friend who pal'ed around with a drop-dead gorgeous creature named Moe. Sweetest doggie I ever met.
Labatt's
Are you sure the green bottles are brewed south of the border? The (terrible) stuff in the brown bottles was and is brewed in my old home town (London) - also would not drink it knowing where that plant is built...and what it is built on - and half the people that work there...remember, Labatt's used to allow their workers to pull beers off the line and drink on the job...hell they used to have beer vending machines in the break room that were free...ah the 80's now there is H&S to deal with...now they put a weekly 24 on your paycheck.
@green Labatt
Never seen em, green Molson golden and moosehead....
I'm a 2xIPA man, myself....
Need a Canucks second opinion here....
Jury is out....
Greenies
The green bottles were what we used to send across the border - had an alcohol content of like 3% and tasted more like water or Coor's light than beer...Brown bottles were domestic and had an alcohol content of 5%. These tasted like they were recycled beers from the night before...D-Town only ever had the greenies...they MAY have stopped that practice after they were bought by the Dutch and then bought again by the Brazilians...who knows anymore - never touch the stuff myself.
Boo where you from?
oooooo
Stubbies going waaaaay back. The death of the stubby is a sad story...interesting that upstate NY got the domestic stuff...even in Europe I always saw the green bottles...gave an already bad beer an even worse international reputation.
In any event, I soooo would not recommend Labatt's under any circumstances. You CAN still get stubbies from a small brewer in Waterloo ON...Red Cap beer. The lager is kinda crap, but the Waterloo Dark is pretty decent. I always bought it when I was in Ontario just for the stubbies and the sentimental value. That and Labatt's and Molson, together killed the stubby.
Beer
Mmmmmmm.....beer. I grew up in Hamilton Ontario and I always drank Lakeport. I don"t know if its still around. It was piss but it was cheap. I've moved on to better since. Stella, Keiths, Rickards. But really...nothing beats a pint of Guinness. "These peanuts are making me thirsty."On a side note, did anyone see that catch Kevin Pillar made last night against the Rays? I nearly shit myself.
@ Stella...
What did you grab?
And say hi to "mom" from your SD family while you're at it :-)
Mom says hi
When she gets home from work in the future.
My sister is here doing laundry and she does say "Hiiii." She is one of the three I was trying to score SC tickets for (including me), and she is the closes thing I have to a significant other -
"You are obsessed" she literally said to me 8 minutes ago.
"You should come with me to the lot in Santa Clara," I then said.
"I probably will," she said, haha. Her heart knows a good thing ;)
I grabbed my computer Tony. It was at my place - next town over. Dead.net is o-k on my phone, not great.
It's a beautiful day here in California. It's my day off and I am cruising (as we say in Hawaii). With a little launders mixed innit.
@Stella STELLA
Sister that was the most tripped out conversation I ever read....
I'm turning into my father....it's like Ebonics without the ebony.....
And you know something is happening here but you don't know what it is....do you rrrrrgrrrrr!
NOPE.....
Rrrrrgrrrrr down the rabbit hole.....
White flag held high.....
I surrender....
@ the wall
helluva catch. the pitcher now owes Pillar a case of Guinness or whatever he prefers.
It's a miracle!
Our brothers in arms and hearts have put in my hands two tickets - one for each night in Santa Clara!
My turn again to feel that humble love and gratitude.
This fits in so well with the beginning of my story, which I've told in brief to Tony via email... this time I will be there.
All the years combine <3
ps. rrrgrrr you get the jist. It's just that I'm a deadhead and I miss/ed Jerry.
shhhhhhhh....be very very quiet....
STELLA STELLA!
I know.......said in a David Gans monotone whisper....
congrats on the ducats chica!
Beddy bye Boze time....
big announcement coming to SD next week......
It's a secret......
Do da do....
Do you promise not to tell....
Out!
Jesus that's freaky
My brother's name is Chris and he was always first...(being the older)....maybe that is just me (probably)
Congrats Stella Blue Moon
I'm going to crack open a stella artois in your honor.
Hello all
I finally found this forum,..it was a task for me,.. I'm severely sleep deprived and this Santa Clara Ticket fiasco has got me almost to the point that Klang was over Chicago. It's keeping me awake at night. I was supposed to see these shows with my Friend from Venezuela, He's in Texas now and as bummed as I am. I know I'm listed on the spreadsheet as not going, but it should say needs 2 tix for each night. but 1 is a start,...thanks for any and all help, I have you all in mind as well,.. been scouring cash or trade,...ebay,...etc...looking for any face value anywhere. If I score I will share the wealth as well. I'm in PA., and Ca. is a lot of travel without at least one ticket. preferably a saturday so I have time to look for a sunday while there, as well as a cheap flighht and shelter. Muchos Garcias!
@ StellaMoon
Please bring stories and pictures with you on the train ride. Great way to pass some time.
the train
I am really looking forward to that, and pics and stories is a great idea. Please do the same. I freeze under pressure but hopefully I can recall one or two good ones.
Cards. Movies. Planning what to carry-on and what to leave down below. I'm going to find out what the storage situation is in coach.
all this talk of beer
anyone have natty bo from Baltimore? (not natty lite but probably similar quality). friend just dropped off Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Commodore Perry IPA. wow! GLBC is the best unknown brewery IMHO. Yuengling...it is too bad it got chic. I always thought it was good everyday brew, reasonably priced. Not anymore...the pricing. still a decent brew but not cheap. looking forward to sipping a few with SDers in Chi in 73-ish days.

Cheers! DevilsFriend...
Haha yes. There are so many fun strings in the ball of yarn that's my name here.
and MKAV - there is a forum on here for people to commune about their brews. I think it's called what's in your fridge? Not that this isn't a fine place to speak of such things. Of course it is. It's a fine place. Period.
@July.....There were Days....
Don't know bout you all, but these weeks are flying by...
With each day that Kyle counts down, I am realizing the days between become fewer and fewer.
Before we all know it, it will be 7/6/15 and this will be long gone...
So Totes....count slower, ok?
And to the rest of us....let us savor each other's virtual company but real friendships...
Talkin with Tony yesterday...yeah we really do have a special group here,...something to be proud of....
Coffee is on, hot and fresh....
Big weekend here in the not so Great not so white and not quite as north as some here....

This is the place and this space is getting HOT!
So let's get on with the show....

Coffee's on Here too.. Have to be at work in 45minutes,...UUUUgghhh!!! Another day sweating over lumber. swinging a hammer and fretting 'bout Tix. Will do my best to settle down,.. My girlfriend is about to throw me overboard! I don't blame her. I guess in the grand scheme of all that going on in the world I am a Lucky dog. You're right, before we know it, it'll be a few years down the road, we'll pull the SD tee shirt out of a drawer and Smile Smile Smile!!!!
Where's Totes???
And where's our countdown?
Did our brother have too many Stella's last night?

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
