Don't worry, next time you're out this way I'll be sure to take you into the alpine lakes wilderness in the cascades. One little slip and it's a long way down.

There's a McMenamins in PA?? I thought they were only in the NW. We have 3 in town here, one of which pinelandspaddler got so drunk at he peed his pants.

Pirat is good stuff. Not for the uninitiated. I take that back, it's good for everyone. I think its a trippel. Chimay may be a more easily drinkable trappist ale.

I did a thru hike in 2003. PA was by far my least favorite part of the trail, to be avoided at all costs, in my opinion. Aside from the '03 hike, I used to spend a lot of time on the AT in NJ while in college. Then I found out about the much easier to get to and light years better trail in...

Do people remember heavyweight brewing? Vineland, I think? Good stuff, I should have cellared some while I had the chance.

I know, it's horrible at the moment. Not only are they supremely inefficient but they charge an arm and a leg for them. Almost a crime. That's why we need more R&D for these things, we need that breakthrough. Take Giant Magnetoresistance, for instance (Nobel in physics 2007). It made high...

The birds thing was kind of a joke. While I like the idea of windfarms because of their low impact both environmentally and visually (if out in the ocean), they don't provide a long term solution to our mounting energy problems. They just don't produce enough power. But at the moment neither...

Well I bottled the IPA tonight and it should be in the mail by friday. Don't let gabe drink it all, as he usually does, there's one for you too. I'm also throwing in some cool rocks for you guys I found in the olympic national forest last weekend.

While I am a staunch advocate of petroleum-alternative energy sources, and have devoted myself to the cause, I'm not sure this is the best use of resources. Wind energy, while clean after setup, is fine for small scale operations it won't do much to put a dent in our oil dependence. Also would...

Not yet. It's dry hopping in the secondary with an ounce of palisades and an ounce of challenger hops. I should bottle it tonight and have it in the mail before the end of the week, along with those rocks from ONF. Last time I checked the gravity it was about 1.014, giving it an ABV of about...

That's an admirable collection, chris. I couldn't get mine to look that diverse if I tried, they seem to magically dissapper too fast. Unless I have a fresh batch of homebrew. It takes a while to drink 5 gallons of beer.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. This beer thread caught my eye so I joined. oh, I like the pines, too. Never had the ten fiddy. I'm guessing they're referring to the original gravity. If so, that's not much for an imperial stout. Why not enjoy great nature with great beer the way nature...
