I don't think I can ever stop hating you for living in a province where they know what real food is like.

Six million people in the greater Toronto area and all we can do is bring bland culinary failure to its global apex.

Well, I've never used an antonym without meaning to before! Anyway, it's fixed now. So sorry for that.

How do you intentionally use an antonym? I'm imagining that it's like being in a cold room, and going "Man, it's hot in here" without a hint of sarcasm.

Classic · « **Reply #62 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:32:04 AM »

Sometimes... Fuck it, I'll just go with an example, or rather, your example:
In that cold room, I may be thinking of how nice it would be to be warm. So I'll try and find its antonym to make use of it.

That particular unintended antonym was caused by my careless construction of complex contrasting communiques. I think I may have also been enjoying the beer at that time. At any rate, while writing the first part I was simultaneously composing the exact wording of the next part and I guess the sentiment "bled through".

No it doesn't make sense to me either.

Welcome to the internet, where people struggle to communicate about their poor communications skills.

When I'm done with my home brewing experiments, everyone is going to be drinking Geo T. Hermal's Campfire Maple Stout, a generously smoked malt flavour with a sweet maple syrup aftertasted that remindes one of the Canadian wilderness.

Fuck Imperial Stouts by the way, they suck.

Oh hey Geo, that reminds me: I have a few bottles of beer I've been saving for a while now for you to try when you come over. It's called Delirium Tremens. It's fermented in such a way that it self-carbonates. The bottles are opaque (HURRR IT IS A MYSTERY) and feature a frolicking pink elephant on the label.

This will either be delicious or cause me to literally choke. Only time can tell.

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #68 on:** August 10, 2009, 01:38:08 PM »

Well, I'm hoping for the former obviously. I'm sort of hoping it will work like a fire roasted marshmallow only with more of the smokey flavour and of course all of the flavour of the malt and the hops. The test will be to see if I can impart a pleasant sweet taste that you can definately notice, without it being too strong and making the beer taste too much like some sort of sugary cola.

You showed me a bottle of that before, but I don't think we partook.

If we don't get the chance this time, I will send you back with a bottle or two.

Dogfish Head's Midas('?) Touch, a "Traditional Ale" with barley, honey, and somekindaberrymaybe is a yummy treat like you'd expect from Dogfish Head. It's sweet and malty in a way that I can't think of any near-neighbors that I've tasted. The sweetness of the drink very carefully matches the bitters and tarts. It comes through sweet with all of it's flavors balanced and not much hint of the 9% alcohol content it carries. Would drink again.

All Dogfish beers at this point are just 90minute plus flavoring. They've been very disappointing for a while :(

Classic · « **Reply #72 on:** September 22, 2009, 06:26:59 PM »

I don't have enough knowledge to seriously disagree, and I do unabashedly like their 90 minute but...

World Wide Stout?

This is why I hate our Communist Liqour Control Board: Blatant extortion at its very finest.

The funniest part is when you get to the bottom after making it past the other ridiculous nonsense. A lab fee? A LAB FEE?!?

I've yet to be impressed with a dogfish head offering to be honest.

Lately I've been day dreaming about starting up a bar in town. My inspiration is the fact that we now have an architectual college in the downtown Galt area and yet NO trendy bars for younger people in town. All the bars around here are sort of pub style if you're lucky and I say "pub" with the loosest standards possible. We mostly just have sports bars and places that play country music and cock rock which I find to be a hilarious statement as to how lame the general townie populous are here. I mean what team are they cheering for at these bars, the fucking Leafs, the Argos?

Anyway, I think something with even a semi-interesting theme like a martini bar with a menu full of crazy martinis and other mixed drinks and then some decent local beers on tap would be cool, somewhere where you could have a DJ or something live even, that sort of thing.

Well, If I meet a some mixologist here who hasn't moved to Toronto already, I'll think about it.

Or you could sell coffee and have a crazy 80's arcade theme, and all the tables would be old cabinet games, and...

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #76 on:** October 10, 2009, 05:31:59 PM »

Well, clearly anything I would open is gonna look like an 80s David Bowie video and have cocktail cabinets as tables, Matt.

Mongrel · « **Reply #77 on:** October 11, 2009, 07:00:35 AM »

Coffee house, bar or whatever it'll be, you just need to get some money together and actually open whatever it is you're going to open before someone else does it first.

OHHHHH, SO THAT'S YOUR BIG SECRET.
