re: Fbd- Jersey trash edition

The Nugget Nectar I had was a pleasant surprise along with a guys Galaxy Session beer. Both were really well done and look forward to trying more.

What drew me to the FBD threads a few years back was the in depth craft brew discussion and seeing all the different beers people were consuming. I enjoyed it. Now it's all about meeting up with (insert poster here) and showing off. Maybe cause I don't know a lot of the Krewe irl, but that never appealed to me. Wish we had more beer discussion. Miss the days of the 20+ page threads.

The IM stuff is going to happen, but let's try and keep it civil.

I get the feeling that plenty of the thread is people showing off. Whether its them just drinking at home or meeting other posters and all of them posting from a bar of the beers they are drinking. It comes off very look at me/us

I'll let you know, Kim. I should be booking my flights this week, so I'll know how much free time I can have. Because it's a film festival, I'll be there somewhat late on the nights I work, but I am trying to snag myself a couple days of free time.

Screw you old man.

All I know is that everyone I have met through this thread has been great people. Tonight was a great example of that...regardless, I started lurking in this thread when I was still at LSU. Started participating soon after, only a year or two ago, and I have noticed a big change in the whole logistics of this thread. I have nothing but great things to say about those I have met. Let's keep it real and what this whole thing is about. I have learned a lot about beer because of this thread. And I will raise a toast to those who have made this what it is

P. S. I really fricked up my knee tonight

LL, when you in SA? Going March 5th through the weekend for my wife's cousin's wedding. We can day drink Friday and post pics of the beers and how much fun IRL stuff is.

Man that would be the greatest but I won't be heading there until the following Wednesday. Trying to make it back to BR for St Pats parade too, but that might not be possible.

For me this thread has always been about the beer and the people. Look at tonight's thread and the guys at the box. Drinking beers that have been discussed over and over and over again here. It's not so much about those beers but more about the people having those beers at The Box. I enjoy seeing that while I sit here and take sips of my brew. It's like a virtual beer bar happy hour. Everyone here is guilty of the "look at me" stuff. It makes the thread fun and entertaining IMO. If it's not someone posting a beer from the beach on a Tuesday than it's someone posting a pic of a beer and a screenshot of their 13 mile run. Etc etc. Was the same way in the "20 plus page days". Only diffrence now are the beers are getting stale and the IRL relationships are getting stronger. I remember when posting a pic of Jai Alai was special, now it's just "meh". Abrasive will be that way next year In the end the beer is the common denominator to all of this madness.
