Now that my wife has found a few beers to her liking, I can buy sampler packs under the guise of helping along her beer education. Today it was a Summit Brewing Spring Sampler pack. I'm such a selfless hubby.

...fortunately, he lives in my town, so I must recuse myself.
Hey LOP, someone needs to drop the "steel is real" seal of approval on that thread.

I guess you had to be there. It's mostly about drinking...with friends...sort of a very messy party based on local products.

Also, I've never encountered a beer I liked. My ex of five years was a beer lover and spent the whole time trying to find one I'd like, so it's not like I tried Beast Ice once in college and decided beer sucks. Tried a bunch of Sam Adams brews, Guinness, bunch of locals from NY and CO, and others I can't even remember. Light, dark, IPA, whatever. Just can't find one that's enjoyable.
Give me a 10oz filet, a salad, and a giant glass of ice water and I'm happy.

Maybe the good news is that the company picnic will be a crab feast.

I... like my food to not look like an alien. To start with, no chitin, no legs, no buggy eyes. I'll eat shrimp but I have to pretend I don't know what they look like. Got diablo shrimp on my filet one time at a fancy restaurant (Truluck's) and they brought them out with faces and legs still attached. That was problematic.
Also, I've never encountered a beer I liked. My ex of five years was a beer lover and spent the whole time trying to find one I'd like, so it's not like I tried Beast Ice once in college and decided beer sucks. Tried a bunch of Sam Adams brews, Guinness, bunch of locals from NY and CO, and others I can't even remember. Light, dark, IPA, whatever. Just can't find one that's enjoyable.
