But you can find me often at the Hyde Park Kroger in the beer section for long stretches wracking my brain about what to buy.

  Ha, I do the same thing. Pisses my wife off. "Just pick something already."

  In addition to lots of good beer, the Hyde Park Kroger had tons of hot chicks shopping there.

  I routinely frequent this Kroger because the ratio of hot chicks:sketchy looking people is much better than the one in my area.
  
  Also, for the beer.

  The other day I saw a hot chick walking out with a 6pack of Boulder's Hazed and Infused. Dear lord I nearly messed my pants just seeing that. This is surely the diamond in the rough of Kroger stores.

  Yes, it is a fantastic Kroger for hot chicks.

  If she was wearing Yoga pants...GOAT.

  My favorite are the Grandin Rd trophy wives that shop there. Women in their late 30s to 40s that have nothing to do all day but work out and count stacks of money. MILF city.

  Just picked up a bottle of Special Holiday Ale; calaboration between Stone, Jolly Pumpkin and Nogne O along with a sixer of Nugget Nectar. Very excited to try the Holiday Ale, some of my favorite breweries so I will be drinking it shortly.
  
  While I was at the beer store the owner let me split a bottle of the Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout he was drinking with a couple guys there and it was really good. A very easy drinker and will most likely pick some up next time. I would recommend this if it's in your area.

  Yeah, Grandin runs along the Cincinnati Country Club. I live off of Grandin so I see the MILFs jogging and/or walking their dogs by my house all the time. It's fantastic.

  Truth. Allegedly the quality is supposed to improve once they start brewing it in Cincinnati. I'm willing to give it another chance once its brewed here (still haven't gone to the Lager House yet), but yes, it is a terrible IPA. In fact, none of their beers are very good. They're not BAD, just.....ehhh.

  The Lager House is good but it is fucking expensive.

  Tend to agree with you. Although I got really hooked on the OTR when it first came out. I must of had that nightly for over a month or two. I did the same thing with Anchor Steam once and Steam is not that 'great' of a beer.

  I find OTR to be the most agreeable of the Moerlein beers. But you're pretty much on my shit list if you make a shitty IPA.

  Thanks for the heads up, I was considering this tonight.

  The Stone IPA is fantastic.

  Well I was hugely disappointed in the Special Holiday Ale. Never had anything from Stone or Jolly Pumpkin I didn't love but this missed the mark, I could only finish half the bottle before I poured the rest! Said it was an Ale brewed with spices; was very nutty, minty and spicy. Could be a good winter beer but just has way too much going on and the overpowering flavors don't mix.

  Maybe let it age and see if the spices tone down.

  Agreed, and I think this beer gets overlooked a lot since they have so many other great beers.

  Killing a few Sierra Nevadas tonight while I unwind and watch some basketball.
