...because we need one.
This is just a thread to relax and chat. Anything goes. There are a lot of us here that get a long very well, even when we disagree. I thought I'd make a place for us to say hey, maybe play some music, and just shoot the shit.
We can party here on the 4th. Whatever your choice, win or lose, I think we'll all need a drink.

There used to be a radio personality named William B. Williams.
I always wondered if the B stood for Billy.

Yeah, the name in Belhaven is mainly a marketing ploy to get people to buy it. It is brewed in Scotland at a monastary if I remember correctly.

LMAO!!!!
My grandma was an English War bride and my Pap used to call her Irish to piss her off. Even though my maiden name might as well be Shamrock, she told me never to say I was Irish.

There isn't really a particular type of Ale called a "Scottish Ale".
There is a "Scotch Ale". That is a beer that is very malty and smokey giving it a Scotch Whisky flavor.

Shan't discuss it cause it normally turns into a big fight and I like you people too much. Let's just say that, back when my temper was hair trigger, the surest way to get my ire up was to call me Irish

The kiwis are a funny people. But don't say it like that to their face because they also tend to be a very tall and athletic people.

I recommend Mad Elf Ale from Troeg's brewery. It is an asskicking 12.5% abv but you don't taste any of it. Tastes more like honey and cherries.
