    Also, the ACME in North Canton has a massive pile of Pumking still.
    You're in North Canton? How long you around?

    If you're still around on Monday, I'll buy you a brew.

    I was over there doing some shopping. I live in Alliance so it's not like it's very far.

    Who did I just accept as a friend on Untappd?
  • sherm03
    It was probably me. I just started back up on there and was going through Curly J's friend list looking for names I recognized from here.

    I've had the Permanent Funeral before....

    "An Imperial Pale Ale that's better than a lot of IPAs. Huge nose of hops and a little grass. Nice tropical finish with some citrus. Wow !!!" (5 caps per Weecejr on Untappd)

    Kind of lame, as I don't think a name change was necessary, but it's cool that nobody's being a dick about it.

    True, but the money to fight it would have been too much for this little brewery. Looks like they are good with the change as they have already tweeted ..."Hey we changed our name to Bad Tom Brewing guys! We're trademark infringers/outlaws now! Bad Tom Smith would be so proud of us!!"

    Speedway was just above average ??? (I had to type that again to make sure I read correctly)

    I was just as surprised as you with all the hype.

    Speedway is easily in my top 3 Stouts ever, if not number one. Been drinking that beer for years.

    COA called me out on Untappd. I have another bottle to try again another day. I went thru my stout list and found 19 that I liked more.

    I know it's not a stout but I'm sure you have Coors Light ahead of it as well!

    Coors Lights gets a .5 only because .0 is not an option!

    I'm sure those 19 aren't stong coffee based stouts.

    Opinions are serious business. I've hesitated to offer my opinion of a certain beer that one of the posters here presumably likes so much he uses it for his screen name. For me, it was the very definition of "meh".

    That is most likely the truth. A few are Russian Imperials. A few are choc/vanilla/cherry.

    I have no problems with opinions, unless they are irrational (see sleeper and his trolling). I will also state if I think a beer is overrated because I don't see what most other do. For the most part, I think we have a good discussion on here and I find new beers to look for to try.

    BTW, I think the BORIS series is an excellent brand of stouts and rank them pretty high.

    I just remember that you aren't a huge fan of coffee based stouts, which I happen happen to love. I'm sure I've had beers that were super hyped that I was under impressed by them. (Artic Panzer Wolf comes to mind)

    We all have different palates. I have a friend on Untappd that gave Coors Light a 5. I just LOL'd when I saw that and moved one.

    Speaking of the BORIS series, I'm hoping I will be having some barrell aged BORIS on the 17th of this month. Going to a Barrel Aged Tasting. (They had it at last years event)
