No worries, except that apparently I can't read the captcha text. There are versions that ask you to type in the highest number or click the largest circle, but they probably don't work with blogger/blogspot.<br /><br />Re: focusing on the new and trendy -- of course, I understand that what makes "news" is interruption of what normally is going on, and of course you've been fantastic in focusing on _everything_ a brewery or distiller does. Just noting that what the forums and most articles talk about isn't anywhere near the norm.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634642987617262810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-6022268631227048362012-02-17T22:08:01.488-05:002012-02-17T22:08:01.488-05:00Bill, don't know what to tell you on the captc...Bill, don't know what to tell you on the captcha. Sorry about the inconvenience, but I can't go unmoderated, too many jackasses and spammers out there. If you get a Google Mail account, you'll be in like Flynn, and never even have to use it for anything else; just a thought. <br /><br />As for the obsession phase...believe me, I haven't forgotten. That's part of why you don't see me blogging about stuff like that very often.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-70717312932270401592012-02-17T21:44:54.300-05:002012-02-17T21:44:54.300-05:00"I think we're going to get over the obse..."I think we're going to get over the obsession phase, and soon." We tend to forget that the vast bulk of craft beer/good booze drinkers have already done this, or never entered the obsession phase. For beer, the overwhelming amounts sold are the "old" stand-byes-- the one-day-only brews make up a miniscule fraction of one percent. The folks that dominate the forums (and to be fair, the bulk of media attention) go towards the rare, but what folks drink is the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, NB Fat Tire, etc. It's a case of what is talked about having little bearing on what folks actually drink.<br /><br />Your captcha technology to post a comment is getting more and more offensive!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634642987617262810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-31615898494455114132012-02-17T15:41:07.852-05:002012-02-17T15:41:07.852-05:00That's a fine post, that is.

Speaking of Heineken back when it was Heineken (and you were still a wee lad), I sailed to Europe on the Holland Amsterdam line and was shocked to a)find the draft Heineken available around the clock was so fresh and tasty and b)that it only cost $.15 pint. Can you still call it a session if you never leave?Jack Curtinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249230993709392609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-39329484853397627192012-02-17T15:21:22.421-05:002012-02-17T15:21:22.421-05:00Nice!
