Message csbosox beers 1229 º places 13 º 18:07 Tue 10/11/2011 Pretty good article. http://inkkc.com/content/whos-the-biggest-beer-nerd-in-kansas-city/
Message theisti P beers 5291 º places 1153 º 18:34 Tue 10/11/2011 That was a fun read.
Message Indra P beers 2711 º places 78 º 19:24 Tue 10/11/2011 Nice. I noticed a bit of a contradiction, though: --- Ink: Do your friends get annoyed when talk about flavors in beer like this? Reinhardt: Anyone who lives with me or sees me on a regular basis knows my conversations are filled with pretty loquacious asides. A lot of verbiage. A lot of explanatory notes. (snip) Watkins: The issues I’ve had at tastings with people are not about whether they like the beer. It’s “I’m more geeky than you are. And I’m going to show you why I’m more geeky.” Watkins impersonating a snooty beer drinker, sniffs his beer and says “I take subtle notes of pencil shavings with leather.” --- Is it just me? Verbose and arcane descriptions are good, except when they’re not? Also, that site got the descriptions of the upcoming fests mixed up (Strong Ale Fest at Legends, KC Beer Fest @ McCoy’s). Super stoked to hear about the Strong Ale Fest, though! I’ve really missed that one, since Power Plant closed down. I just hope there’s a little less vomiting at this one.
Message beastiefan2k P beers 5028 º places 294 º 06:50 Wed 10/12/2011 fun read. Hooray beer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfGkhhm4vXw

Message hwwty4 beers 1 º places 1 º 08:05 Wed 10/12/2011 It was a fun time. Needless to say, I was a bit tipsy by the end of the session.
Message jtrockchalk 12:45 Wed 10/12/2011 Bill wasn’t impersonating a "snooty beer drinker". I’ve heard that exact quote at multiple tasting. It’s is go to move....lol!!
Message hwwty4 beers 1 º places 1 º 14:15 Wed 10/12/2011 Thanks Joel. Have I ever told you youre a ass.
Message foppa78 places 12 º 14:21 Wed 10/12/2011 Just found out this week that Joel and I live pretty close to each other. Didnt realize we had other RB folks out this way in the lees summit area.

Message Indra P beers 2711 º places 78 º 16:30 Wed 10/12/2011 Strong Ale Fest officially added to Events. Woot!
Message jtrockchalk 16:50 Wed 10/12/2011 Originally posted by hwwty4 Thanks Joel. Have I ever told you youre a ass. Sorry. Couldn’t resist. So the 2010 BT was really that much better than ’09? Sorry i gave/traded both mIne away. Was the coconut on par with the fresh FW11?
Message csbosox beers 1229 º places 13 º 18:58 Wed 10/12/2011 I’m not shitting, but I just realized jtrockchalk and Joel are the same person. Cool! With that being said, I can imagine we have all been accused of being a bit beer geeky, I mean we are all on this site. Bill, you are going to receive some good natured ribbing for the article, but I thought it was very well done and they certainly picked the right people to talk to.
