Anyone else miss the Papa John's promotion?

I assume most of you live in the tri-state area. If so, please don't eat Papa John's. It is vile.

Btw. 10/10 on the avatar. I was fortunate enough to see Carlin live in 06 (or maybe it was 07). It was an outstanding show. One of my all time favorite comedians.

He's a funny guy.

He's a rarity in that he offers common sense societal commentaries that all sides of the political spectrum can get behind.

And it's not just his words; he's a master of communicating with the body. Extremely expressive. I actually made that gif myself because he made this awesome face in the middle of a random routine and I thought "what a phenomenal reaction gif"

That is from Jammin' in New York, IIRC. One of my favorites. I own almost all of this HBO specials that were ever released. George did what he wanted, didn't care about what people though and most were able to respect him for that.

You know, I think its about time I watch his specials again. I suppose I'll order a pizza from Papa Johns when I do so.

Do you ever get their snowpack? I really like it. Although, I am lukewarm on the winter warmer IPA. I feel as if the taste of that beer has greatly varied depending on the batch.

No I really am an IPA person--after that stouts and porters. With IPA's I prefer 7%'s and above and though citrus ones usually are okay if given a choice it will be just a regular IPA. The Sierra Nevada Brewery is huge though and worth visiting if you're ever out that way. Though not a whole lot else to do in the area unless you're really into mountains and outdoorsy kind of stuff.

What are your go to stouts? By that I mean high ABV specials, nitros, etc.

I love stouts but the move to nitro/sugar infused stouts isn’t my favorite. It seems everyone’s doing it. I’m more of a dry stout kinda guy.

Founder's Breakfast Stout is worth the price if you can find it. Some with the Canadian Breakfast Stout.

Mean Old Tom from Maine Brewing is good, too.

My favorite IPA is Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. Been told that I need to try the 120 Minute, but I cannot get it in NC.

I like stouts, but for me, it needs to be cold outside for me to really want one. The weather here rarely stays cold enough for me to enjoy them completely.

Generally when I go the stout route it's mostly pot luck. See what's available and go from there. The fall back is always Guinness though--which is the only old guard product out of the beer family I'll even touch. There was a local microbrewery that made very good stouts and porters but the owners pulled up stakes and took their business to Florida.

What I got in the refrigerator right now is SixPoint Brewery's Resin IPA. Some Sierra Nevada Torpedo. One Dogfish 90 minute IPA and some Uinta Hop Nosh. Sometimes I go kind of local with Ithaca Brewing. I like their Flower Power. But there's a bunch of different ones---there's an element of pot luck to this too. Every summer we do a brewery tour of the finger lakes--there are a lot of breweries up there---actually they're everywhere. I like them rougher or less refined. Otter Creek is another one--Backyard Berner or something like that.

Maybe I didn't watch enough of his stuff but I never liked Carlin. He sounded like a grumpy old man ranting more than a comedian. Never found him funny.
