Anthem buddies at the Legion game last night. 9yo Jillian 3rd from the left and 11yo Sadie 5th from the right. Jillian was smitten because the Ottawans were speaking to her in French lol.

KBS hitting the shelves today.

I was just about to rec maps, but yes, it's the Hospitality Inn about 4 blocks east of Children's. That's, of course, UAB Medical Center's Jefferson Tower in the foreground.

So Southside is on fire. Old abandoned hotel on 7th Ave S. Hazy as hell here.

Bwahaha

I establish dominance over all arthropods all the time. Pinched by a soft shell in the surf during family vacation? I won’t rest until I’ve caught and eaten him, that spineless bastard.

Damn.

Should have shown him who’s boss and drank his stubborn ass.

Bonus spider, yeah.

I actually bought Hop Bullet initially on your rec. On the Hazy, it just doesn’t measure up to what I expect an NEIPA to be. Feels ok, looks ok, tastes meh. Compare it to peeling an orange and eating the rind rather than the flesh.

LOL start here.

Hang on. Got to go get SMB so we can gang up on you and tell you how wrong you are.

I don’t necessarily disapprove of their model. It works sometimes. Hop Bullet is a freaking reg in my fridge now. Pretty much displaced Torpedo. Speaking of which, Torpedo was another one that I think they nailed using that same model. Agree completely on Hazy Little Thing. But speaking of those “mass market” NEIPAs, I still snap up that NB Juicy Haze Voodoo Ranger from time to time.

Agreed. SN missed badly. Hops barely there, no malt to back them up and way drier than I prefer in the style. I finished the pack after a while, but almost exclusively for catching a buzz. Just got nothing out of it.

Quite literally takes the thing that makes IPAs unique and interesting and dumbs it down. Tried SNs, might as well have been drinking their pale.

Yeah it was the G13. Came in a variety pack. For the life of me, I can not see the appeal of this “THIS BEER TASTES LIKE GANJ” thing going on. I mean, a nice dank IPA can be a good experience, but there’s a limit, you know?

Sweetwater's 420 strain tastes like I'm literally drinking a bowl. WTF. *ahem* Not that I know what a bowl tastes/smells like *ahem*

I was so pissed when the little teaser add this past month turned out to be for a ******* Stella Artois ad.

LOL Kodi

So Sadie’s first game was today in Montgomery. Thrashed Capital City 3-0. Not much asked of her in goal, but she had a save or two. Funniest thing was the wind assist she was getting on her punts in the second half. Other keeper was fielding them lol. Montgomery beat Vestavia earlier this weekend, so that’s promising. Vestavia Invitational next weekend. Big one.

Pulling for their sissy.

Momma. Daddy is an alcoholic, apparently.

Luckily, both girls entered the game relatively late, and Trussville has a great training program. Those big scrums are extremely uncommon at this level. Positional play is emphasized, and just about every touch takes place with lots of space to work. Gives them lots of room to try and be creative.

We did dance, which, as a dude, I couldn't stand, but thankfully she's suddenly decided to give soccer a go like her big sister. Sadie has turned into a bad ass keeper for Trussville's 07 competitive team. Jillian is extremely green, but she played the entire game today, most of which we played a man down, and ended up blowing out Briarwood. She was nervous as hell going into her first game, and today was a huge confidence booster. She's got a lot of learning and growing to do, but we couldn't have asked for a better start.

It's official, I now have two soccer players. Jillian just won her first game 5-1.
