I just got the one from Costco. I love it. It should be all you need if not more than you need. WiFi, digital probe, phone alerts and you can manage temps once it's started. ( you can't start the grill with your phone because of obvious liabilities. )
I love cooking with charcoal, but it's hard to justify when only making one or two burgers or a couple of steaks. I really miss that smokey flavor, however.
I usually cook extra or in large batches to have over the next few days.
No doubt. They're even tough getting through customs when you go there on vacation. When I flew in I didn't have a return date on my plane ticket as I was flying to Australia 3 weeks later on a different airline. They wouldn't let me clear customs until they could verify I was actually confirmed on a flight out of New Zealand in their system.
Love me some Dead Guy Ale. Spent my first Christmas with Ms Zubov at Rogue Brewery in 2014.
That's too bad about Rogue. More reason to drink Deschutes. Just wish I could get it here.
hazy ipas suck. i want a beer, not bitter juice. i have no problem with citrus flavor ipas, but hazy ipas are barely beer.
All Belgian beer sucks, IMO. I despise that coriander after taste. We've discussed this before, but I think we do beer so much better than the Europeans. I've had some decent Marzen's but for the most part the selection from across the pond is completely underwhelming. They should stick to wine. Red ales, ambers, balanced west coast IPAs, porters & stouts....No european region can touch us.
i love a good floral or piney ipa. a good citrus note ipa is great too. i dont want to drink a hop flavored screwdriver which is all a hazy ipa is. i also prefer IPAs in the 5.5-7 range because i like to have more than a few when i drink and anything higher is just getting me drunk faster than everyone else around me lol.
Newcastle is liquid trash. I've read so many things about how they use the worst ingredients in that shit. Before I knew better, I would occassionally order one or two at a certain place in Vegas that had no better options. Like clockwork the next day I would feel like shit, even just one of those would give me the worst headache.
I don't get how people drink double & triple IPAs in public. 2 of those & I'm comatosed. I learned my lesson one nite harshly...I had 3 Dogfish 90s on basically no dinner. All of a sudden I went full re-tard out of nowhere. The next day I felt like I was hit by a truck.
united states are the beer kings of the world and it isnt even close. we have so many breweries creating so many different types and qualities of beer. so many bars serve a wide selection of random beers. i was in ireland last month and other than a select few bars, pretty much every bar had only guinness (beamish and/or murphys stout depending on what part of the island u were in), heineken, coors, rockshore, and a couple other rather generic irish beers.
i think the same thing with the belgian triples. especially in places that dont have public transport like NYC. how are ppl drinking these 10-15% beers and then driving home?
LOL. These days it's so easy to separate the drunks from the beer lovers. You can't tell me anyone drinking an Ultra or a Miller lite or even a Stella, actually likes the taste of beer. Not too many things in life funnier than people paying $16 for a Bud Light at a sporting event.
