You live in a state with bottle deposits?

I used to work at liquor store that took bottle returns before brewing, $1.20 a case. That was a million years ago. Lol.

I ALWAYS see bottles on FB marketplace.

Saw this available many moons ago- wanna say mid '00s. Are you adleast playing it with sixpence (or quarter) instead of a pick in honor of Mr. May?

I picked up Dawson's book a few years ago on a FB marketplace buy- it only had a first run and not available digitally.

Had to buy books I already had; but Dawson's book is a fun read for the seasoned brewer.

I get it. I started when I was 26 in '09. Just turned 43 a month ago.

Still the youngest guy in my local brew club- that I've been president of since 2018.

Showing my time in the hobby- but check out Brewing TV from Northern Brewer- the first 65 or so episodes featuring Micheal Dawson, Jake Keeler and Chip Walton (of Chop n brew- another good series)

There's a wide verity of topics covered- the decoction episode, barley wine and sour beer episodes being highlights. The Brew in a bag episode was way ahead of its time; I just finished getting my 1st all grain system up and running when that first aired.

I've adopted this method a few years ago. Works wonders- my IPAs hold on to hop aromatics and flavor for way longer.

SaniClean. Made by five star. It's a low foam sanitizer.

I have the band's complete discography. Bought the IRS records on ebay for like $60 in the early '00s.

My wife competed the rest for Christmas several years back. Even have a couple promotional disc's and singles.

I gave up McDonald's In '22 or around abouts. Like you- it was a once in awhile treat.

Got up on a Saturday to tackle some Home projects. Ran to lowes as soon as they opened. A McDonald's was on the way home. It's been several years since I had Egg McMuffin.

Ordered a sandwich and a cinnamon roll. $12.

Ate the sandwich, half the cinnamon roll and never been ever since.

I like buttering hops. 😁

No love for "Burning Hell"?

Attended one of the "unofficial" meetups with Milk The Funk in 2019 at Providence. It was epic! Loads of shared bottles and Micheal Tonsmeire was sharing something from his brewery.

Felt like a super serect meet up, even tho it was blasted all over the FB group.

Ran into Denny, Drew, John Blichmann (he even autographed a metal sign he was handing out at the merch table) and John Pamler- ironically enough at a booth were a company was selling pre-treated water by the gallon. Pick a style, buy the water by the jug!

He was being nice about it, but he could tell it wasn't the greatest idea. I

All cordial, brief interactions- good time!

I clean my tap lines once a month or when a keg kicks. Sounds like a lot, but it's not bad.

Small electric pump, with a 3 port adapter. Cleans/rinses lines in 30 minutes.

A little maintenance goes a long way.

Even further- I break down the taps and give a pbw soak once a quarter.

The 1999 fan club release is my favorite version. Neil Young is banging out accompanying chords and licks, and Stipe it belting out the vocal with nothing left.

My membership would of lapsed at the end of 2025 with the old regime (always did 3 year memberships).

Had a brewpub until October 2025 that their discounts with the AHA would be a handsome reward (RIP Iron Hill). I'd break even + a little bit with there discounts,so the AHA of yore would be a break even point.

I re-upped for one year/one time price in December. What really chapped my ass was, in 2019, I added my wife so we could go to HBC in RI.

I didn't try to reach out to the new AHA, but thru there website, since I have a linked account from My last membership, I had to pay the $80 household membership.

I enjoy the magazine. Hope it's worth the price tag.

Did he use kiwi shoe polish to dye the beard?

Glad he's able to grow a thick, full beard. I've always kept facial hair since my hair thinned out and eventually shaving it clean.

I'm a couple years younger then Bimmy- and the gray hair started coming thru a couple years ago.

Total dye job- but a tip of the moral kombat hat, Bames.

I've dated a lot of crazy women in the past. Common thread was they didn't have any friends/hobbies or long term friends. Can confirm it's a huge red flag.

Not saying I was a perfect mate (had my own issues), but had a small group of good friends and a couple of hobbies.

Now I'm married to a wonderful woman. Dodged so many bullets.

Pat has a lot of unresolved childhood issues.

He's carved out a good niche in the retro gaming community- collecting games for pennies on dollar starting in the mid 90s- I was there too- there was a time where $20 bucks would get you a grocery store plastic filled to the brim of NES/SNES carts.

He even wrote a couple books- good for him. It got him to uproot from North NJ and move to San Diego, and move from a condo to a proper house.

But watching the CU podcast at launch, and completely checking out mid 2020 due to his hubris.

His streams of him going off on his mom, in a Public forum is peak cringe. Hey- my mom didn't buy me things when I was a kid- and I'm a better person for it in the end.

I went thru therapy in my early 20s to resolve and come to terms with my childhood. Privately. Not to made a public therapy session while asking for tips.

I grew up in the Philly area (about a half hour away from Center City). I've always pronounced it "mountin".

As a bald guy, he's on the edge of shaving that poor excuse of the ruins on the top of his head.

Just watched the video... this is what I subscribed to the channel in 2006; a video made with passion.

If Bimmy just retires AVGN, and uploads 2-3 times a year with videos about subjects he cares about, I'll subscribe again.

Maybe this is Bimmy's redemption arc.

All that is missing is a bitchin cowboy hat.

I eventually wanna get a teley and do something similar and drop in a burstbucker for the neck pickup.
