All this fury over beer, my goodness.

Beer is serious.

Beer is serious.

Guess I should go easy, I like my beer as well.

That's why my drink of choice is single-malt Scotch, you can never go wrong with a single-malt... except with the price

Edit: spelling

Oh, I'm so with you on that Doc.

You're talkin Scotch, right?

Calling it $4!+ without trying it is definitely a Tort move, but I'm with @GBassNorth I've tried enough craft beers to know that I can't stand the taste. During that discussion I mentioned that it wasn't the bashing of Gibson basses it was that people think there's a finite amount of possibilities in the world, and like you said that most of them probably have never even played one.
Having tried a good amount of craft beers, I can't stand the taste.

Again... only used that word to describe it because I hacked through his fluffy way of saying it himself when he was bragging about it.

"I can taste hints of daffodil because that is what the goats ate while producing the manure they used to fertilize the hops"

 

[Off-Beat]

Yeah, I was thinking more American lagers. But true, when I was in Austria I really liked the Stiegl Paracelsus Zwickl I had.

Great beer. Not my first choice, but great nonetheless.

WOW!!! Yup... that's creepin' up on aircraft carrier status! With the increased width and flat radius, the thickness would probably ok. I just gotta see where the string spacing would sit. Thank you for taking the time to get that for me!

What's your favorite? I'll see if I can find it here.

Fury? I haven't seen any fury. Did I miss a page?

Schwechater Zwickl and Hirter Privat Pils. The Hirter maybe, but Zwickls usually don't survive export.

This ain't "either/or" mate! You can have both!

(in fact... it's encouraged)

WOW!!! $250 for a '67 NR???
That's incredible!!!

Can anybody here top that deal?

String spacing at the bridge is 17 mm / 0.67"

If by "blended" you're referring to a single malt blended with a good beer... I'm on board!
