Can't say we're on the same page WRT the sex issue, but the joy of fine brewed beverages sends me down the neander route. You need a clear head for power tool work, but if I've got a stack of chair spindles in the shave pony, or some mortising chisel work to do, surface planing the benchtop, break out the Stone IPA or Guiness, and enjoy the quiet.

I'm drinking a Saranac IPA as I type, and I gotta tell you, it tastes pretty good. It's funny how my beer tastes have changed over the years. Now I seem to be pretty much all over the map!

All over the map, you say? You've had a few too many, my friend. Hand me your keys and I'll drive you home.

[dteckie]

Yes hand over your car keys and while you are at it hand over your shop keys so we can confiscate your power tools so you will not get hurt. We have your safety in mind.

Minor beer gloat - I've worked a few times with a painter named Seguitas who was in the Russian army and kisses the hands of prospective female customers when you recommend him for a job, and the other day he says, "you goink be here tomorrow? I bring beer. Good Lithuanian beer," and I thought, uh oh, one of those lunches that lasts until dinnertime. So he was on the job the next morning, went to his beat up station wagon with the ladders on top, opens the back door and drags me out a whole case of Svyturys Lithuanian beer. It's very tasty stuff, though I'm no connoiseur. Kind of like Old Style without the bitter aftertaste. He's a good painter, too, but doesn't charge enough for his work.

Beer always tastes best after a long day of woodworker while I vaccum up the dust. Makes the whole clean up process much more fun. Beer + power tools are just not a good mix.

[Dave Balderstone]

I agree. Beer and my shop go together well, when the tools are off and I'm cleaning up the floor and the bench.

Beer plus a tape measure does not go well either.

[Joe Tylicki]

So which is it?

Very tasty? ...or tastes like Old Style?

Joe

It's very tasty stuff,

What's with a yard of ale then?

[bridger]

I have a no alcohol in the shop rule. if there's alcohol in you, you're not in the shop.

[BUB 209]

You're drinking Old Style (or I am). After you sip it, there's this agreeable, full-bodied flavor. Then, somewhere between the sip and the swallow is a distinctly bitter taste. This Svyturys stuff is the full-bodied flavor and no bitter. I'm regretting there are only

4 bottles left. I'll have to ask Seguitas where he got it, probably up on Belmont Avenue in Chicago's Russian neighborhood

[dteckie]

Tastes Great? Less Filling?

[BUB 209]

It tastes okay but it's very filling, but I'm smoking less and enjoying it more, if you go back that far.

[Robert Bonomi]

Tastes filling! Less great
