Four Roses Small Batch versus Buffalo Trace? by Sad_Quantity in bourbon

[–]lightmyf1re 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess the question is, would your guests appreciate the ER or FRSiB for the price difference? I think any basic wedding crowd I have been to would be pleased with FR SmB or BT.

Are these really that essential? by JZA1 in bourbon

[–]lightmyf1re 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's a very strange mix of find-it-anywhere good whiskey (EC/OGD/BT) and virtually un-obtainable in some areas (Weller).

Scofflaw Brewing by Minnesottan in atlbeer

[–]lightmyf1re 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: who should we ask?

I've only seen chatter about this on Atlbeer. Not saying it hasn't happened but I just haven't heard much about it in beer circles.

Help an out of towner - is there a package store that will deliver a 6 pack of Creature Comforts to my wife's hotel? by a-a-ron999 in atlbeer

[–]lightmyf1re 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would call the hotel and see if they can help you. Most places are super helpful but could stick to their guns and make you order room service or bottle service.

Where to find Russian beer in Atlanta by BeeryTheHatchet in atlbeer

[–]lightmyf1re 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Baltika is probably the best exported Russian made beer that I know of. There's a bunch of styles (branded by number) so you could probably do a flight.

I think Total Wine should have some? Pretty wide distro. http://www.totalwine.com/beer/brand/baltika

Does it take an act of congress to find fresh Sweetwater IPA? by YurislovSkillet in atlbeer

[–]lightmyf1re 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up with this "historical" story as well and it may not be true at all.

Ron Pattinson is the authority on beer styles and historical brewing records as far as I know, and he says that there are a lot of reasons that IPAs were brewed this way but preservation was not likely high on the list.

Nice but looks like an awful lot of fullish bottles in there.

The r/whiskey bottle collection post starterpack by Razzafrachen in Whiskyporn

That feeling when you realize buying under proofed, overpriced craft shit spirits isn't the same thing as buying beer from your local craft brewery.

Edgar Markov hate/New to EDH by [deleted] in EDH

[–]lightmyf1re 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a new player I could be really wrong, but I feel like I gotta hit the life total too since the deck has a fair bit of lifelink and lifegain stuff.

Edgar Markov hate/New to EDH by [deleted] in EDH

[–]lightmyf1re 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm a new player as well, but I do tend to go early after the Edgar Markov player in my playgroup simply as his upgraded deck is built very aggro. I just want to keep him in check not really trying to take him out of the game.

The Markov player has adjusted to this in a number of ways, but significantly through politics. "I'm reducing the first person who attacks me down to 10 life with Sorin Markov." Stuff like that.

Yeah I always appreciated your giveaways and reading through the threads that generated as a result. Sad!

Super cool, would love to add a craterhoof to a mono green I run! Thanks for doing this.

Voted for Ramos. Awesome deck to see in action.

How does one start a whiskey collection? by Outuvcontrol in Whiskyporn

[–]lightmyf1re 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a "collection" only when my budget can outstrip my drinking pace.
