Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I can take or leave cider, if I'm being honest--I prefer beer. My spouse, though, is all about ciders...especially the dry ones that don't add malic acid. Some of their favorites, in no particular order: Tumelo Cider Co., Portland Cider Co., Double Mountain Cider, and Swift Cider.

Nice. We’ve tried Portland, but not the others.

i just had a memory come up, from decades ago, the deepest i ever got into any rules discussion, was basically an article (but posted to the forum for d20 modern) on RAW vs RAI (rules as intended) in regards to a gadget from the d20 future splat book and it's interactions with one of the rules/character aspects in the core book. I even includes citations from the various articles dealing with the two things.

Re: beer

There is a kind of sweet and tan beer that is sold in here. It's called Nochebuena, and it's only sold in the leadtime to Christmas, then the government takes it away... n_n

I've had good beer across the entire catalog, from the lightest lagers to the darkest stouts, from mass-produced grocery store beers to seasonal rotators at the local brew pub. Gluten-free, hop-free, alcohol-free...honestly, if you don't know where to find good beer in Portland, just throw a stick.

Like...there are specific beers I don't like (Pabst, Budweiser, Coors) but that's not to say I hate all grocery store lagers. I'll just grab some Montucky.

I will snark on BigBeerCorp and its tendency to assimilate small breweries and turn them into names on a label, but I will also say it's OK to drink the beer you enjoy drinking.

I went to Russia back in 2005, and one thing that stood out was a tour of Razin Brewery’s facility in Moscow. When we arrived, they were still giddy about being bought out by Heineken. So part of our tour included a tasting in a board room. Each of us got a whole bottle of each of their 14 products, including kvass (a nearly alcohol free beer made from raisin bread and that tastes a lot like Dr. Pepper).

This was around 10:30AM.

I liked most of what I had, so when I got back to the USA, I started looking for Razin products. I found other Russian beers, but not theirs.

So I went online to see what happened. Heineken hadn’t bought Razin to broaden its distribution, or even to relabel their beers as Heineken products. They did it to get rapid access to the markets Razin was in, and their distribution network in those regions. The company itself got shuttered; its recipes shelved.

Like so many times on En World, i remain absolutely baffled by the push back against basic points that I would have thought are more or less self evident.

This sounds great, I'll have to keep an eye out to see if any makes it into the US
