I knew it was local (not the sam adams)... thanks for the chime in on that one Billy

I'd actually put it up for a close second in favorites... right behind my Guinness Extra Stout

While I'll admit Christmas has become Wayyyy to commercial... I wouldn't quite say it's pointless...

Warning: If you're not the religious type please discontinue reading now

I myself find it comic that a religious Holiday such as Christmas has the exposure that it does... So many people that don't have any idea of who Jesus is... They think Christmas is all about Santa and presents... WTF

... So I like to enlighten people (if they find it annoying or not

)... I like to find time throughout the holiday season to talk with irritated shoppers and ask them what they think Christmas is all about. If they give me the Santa and how their kids expect to have such and such under the tree... I ask them why they don't celebrate Hanukkah... Their response obviously is almost always "Cause I'm not Jewish." My response: Well it doesn't sound like you're christian... and the speal goes on from there LOL

Sam Adams Utopias.. lol well then again i never really liked that taste. lol. If you would like a pretty good beer that isnt quite as expensive defintiely look at Ommegang Hennepin.

yea, that's what I meant. i just missed an H. I didn't care for it all that much, but it wasn't bad. It is also 14% alcohol, I think lol. I still have the bottle at home, I'll edit the post if it isn't 14%.

Specialized are some awesome bikes. Friend of mine has a Specialized road bike like that, except one in the ~$700 range. I'm thinking of getting one myself when it gets close to spring.
