Festbier and rye crisps. Fall has arrived!

And yes, I like a heavy pour to knock the gas down a bit. Prost!

Quick trip to VT with a pop-in at Treehouse in Saratoga Springs, NY (and a couple of local Va brews, plus one NJ).

L-R, top to bottom: Lawsons, Tree House, Four Quarter, Alchemist, Kane, Hardywood, and Aslin.

Hi Vermonters! My buddies and I will be attending the Killington Brew Fest at Pico in a couple of weeks and have a free day on Friday. What should we do?

​

We have done this trip 4 years running and in the past have done Alchemist, Lawson's, Cabot Cheese, Ben and Jerry's, some day hiking, etc. What would you do with a day that starts and ends in Killington, and should include one brewery stop and local lunch place?

Thanks for being such awesome hosts!

PSA- these things are insanely hard to open. Can't vouch for the taste.

Got a touch of arthritis in the old thumbs, and it was a struggle to get these open- I am only 54!

Resorted to multi tool scissors...

Edit for more detail: I used scissors initially but there is an inner seal or wrapper that's practically shrink wrapped to the battery. Hence the "old person yells at cloud" tag.

Blood pudding or similar

I am curious why we don't see contestants making more use of blood from their kills. Blood has iron, some salinity, other minerals, and even a bit of fat, and is used as a food source across cultures. Collecting the blood from a moose may not be feasible, but hare/beaver, other small game?

Edit:

TIL that bleeding out even bigger game animals is not as crucial as I was led it to be. Thanks for the responses!

If you were making an 80s mixed tape today, what's a song that people would be surprised you included? Something just way outside the type of music you normally listened to.

Mine would be Space Age Love Song by Flock of Seagulls. Not something you saw on Headbangers Ball.

Edit: by people I mean your crew from back in the day. And what was your usual genre?

On ‘Alone,’ Hunger and Isolation Dish Out Mental Pain

I was wondering if any longer term health/mental well-being studies have been done (knowing the show hasn't been on that long) and it doesn't seem like it, but I did come across this and thought I'd share.

My son just added this to his car. I am simultaneously annoyed and proud. Not sure how he plans to deal out penalties though. Or people poking his car all the time.

Who is going to the DC show tonight? Busting out my custom Vans for the occasion.

Kids got me these a few years back, and these are the only shows I wear them to.

Do you think your kids will end up better off than you are now when they reach our age? Why/why not?

About to be empty nesters and wondering what the future holds for my twins and the oldest when they graduate college. Between AI and the economic trends of recent decades, I am not sure I can confidently say they will end up ahead of the game.

New to ASL long bow shooting but not trad archery. I picked up a Mushin Styk in the same weight as my recurve, and am feeling it in different muscles- particularly my upper traps. Wondering what to tweak.

I think the low wrist grip, lower brace height, and slightly more open stance have thrown everything out of whack. Looking for tips and recommendations for videos to watch as I work this out.

I am a big fan of Cone Head full strength beers, and this did not disappoint. Absolutely loaded with layered flavor.

Their full strength beers are all a touch sweet, but not overbearingly so and that translates really well here. The grain bill also keeps this beer full bodied, well balanced by the Motueka, Strata, Simcoe, and Nelson Sauvin hops.

5/5 will buy again.

These two are both delicious on their own, but sometimes the grilled pineapple is a too sweet for what I am looking for. Blended them together last night for some grilled pork and it was amazing. Just sweet enough and layers of flavors with the heat.

I may need to let el Yuc know about this.

Well that was humbling. Picked up a St Patrick Lakes Mushin Styk at ETAR. Coming from recurve, it's a whole different game. Welcoming any and all tips.

Very glad I found one with a dished grip. The carbon and wood looks fantastic, and this thing is smooth and zippy. 39#@29. I am still trying to dial in the grip, and my first few ends were all over the place. Didn't take a pic of my best end, but it wasn't much better than what you see here- 25 yards, just for the heck of it. Need to spend some blank bail time.

Dad's who are empty nesters now- gotta any tips or "watch out for"? Oldest will be a junior in college this year and now the twins are heading off as well. We haven't had a house to ourselves in 20 years, and I am already missing them!

We do a lot of fun things with our young adult kiddos, travel, concerts, the twins share my principal hobby. I am starting to feel lonely already as I look at the concert schedule in our area for the fall.

What's a simple thing that would make Dad life (and Mom life) easier? My vote: resealable cereal bags being standard.

It's 2026 man. Why doesn't the giant Cheerios bag close?!

There is a town called Jersey Shore in the middle of Pennsylvania. Told a local I was planning to visit it while I am nearby and his advice was "don't, you'll be very disappointed." How bad can it be?

The conversation with that local also included the sprinkles/jimmies question. Team jimmies all the way.

u/Brewer1056 — 3 months ago

NBD! My first ASL. St. Patrick Lake Mushin Styk. 39# @ 29 in., carbon backed, dished grip, not cut to center. What do I need to know coming from trad recurve?

Sorry for the pics, best I could do tonight.

Stayed home sick today. Watched some old Price is Right, ate a bunch of saltines with ginger ale, and then had a Van Damm mini marathon.

If you have to be sick, this is the way to do it. 1982 episode, I was 10. Perfection.
