    Open it! Memphis is a great foodie town (lived there for 11 years), you should definitely visit if you've not done so.

    We get this often here just 2 hours from the North Border. I'm not a hop head but a good friend is.... says it's one of his favorites. I'm more partial to Bell's Expedition Stout. Highly recommended if you can get one to try.

    Yes, open it. It doesn't keep well long term. I'm still trying to plow through this years harvest..

    Most importantly, enjoy it!

    Smooth and delicious,
    No indication it's a 10% beer.
    Very nice.

    I seriously hope you're not doing both of those at the same time! Are you on the passenger seat? Did you drive it? Thoughts on the 599 GTB?

    I only had a spirited ride, no driving.

    I like the 599 better then the California for
    Power
    12 cyl
    Smoothness
    Old mixed with New (buckles on rear shelf etc) a lot of character inside the car
    Looks
    Feel including road feel in addition to the interior feel
    Seats are awesome, they look great and comfortably hold, firmly yet gently caress you - more like a sport seat then the california but very comfortable, the just HUG

    I like the California better than the 599 for:
    Roof comes off although not that important to me, just kind of a bonus
    4 seats
    availability and price

    If I followed just my heart I'd get the 599 and screw the kids when they need a ride.
    Add in a little bit of logic and I'm back to looking for a California. Then maybe one day adding a 12cyl. HOWEVER now I need to try a 612 as well to be fair...

    ^Great intel, Jason!

    Smoothness? That surprises me given that you're comparing single and dual clutch transmissions. I assume your driver was using paddles? And, that you did too when you test drove the Cali.

    Some of the YouTube videos of 599 GTB, the shifts look jerky. Maybe down to operator skill?

    At any rate, sorry for the thread derail.

    Sooner than you think, they won't fit in a Cali anyways.

    You know when you see desperate people dieting that are eating baked chips and rice snacks and other weird things that taste like ****? And you shake your head because it's still calories so why bother if it tastes so bad?

    Like that.



    Joking aside, after a bike ride home in 77% humidity it's not bad, kind of like a colored San Pellegrino. All other times it's pretty bad.

    I've switched to sparkling water, it tastes better and is 0 calories.

    You gotta do what you gotta do. You're definitely doing better than me with the discipline. I dropped 10+lbs and now I'm only around 5 or so down. And drinking more often again. **** happens when you lose your job (again) and decide for a career change lol. One of these days I'm gonna go study at a bar for the hell of it.

    It was funny you posted the non-alcoholic beer that day because around the same time i had this urge that day or the day before to pick up a 6er. But decided not to.

    One of my buddies dads was an alcoholic years ago. He drinks non-alcoholic beer now and has for probably 20 years.

    The only thing I might beat you in right now is walking the stair climber at the gym. :D
