What's new

Upcoming for 2020!

It didn't have to. Convincing me was the condition to being invited to future poker games. So it was up to Firegirl, if that was a Trout alt, to decide if they wanted to be invited in the future or not. I can say unequivocally, Firegirl is not interested in coming to any of my poker games.

Maybe because it’s Trout?

well the deal was that he doesn't get to come to the games anymore. If that's the deal he wanted in order to keep being firegirl then he got it. Simple.

I'd honestly really like to stop talking about this. I don't have negative feelings about Truot. As mentioned, he has been one of the most entertaining guests I've ever had. He's been awesome. I don't want to keep justifying my decision in public.
 
Yeah, I couldn't tell ya. I drank it straight out of the can. I've never had an issue with floaties or super hazy beer though. I had some Heady Topper awhile ago and it was murky as ****.
So I was wrong... Suss It Out was the beer I had and the second one didn't have floaties.

I'd like to talk more about my scoring methodology.

For the "Best Bang for Your buck at the Utah State Liquor Store" there will be an oz. of pure ethanol per dollar score. But there will also have to be some other ways of evaluating the best overall value. Some of it will be subjective. I can't just rate beers based on the ABV/$ score.

I have some ideas and expect to have three scores and use those to make a composite score that will help me declare the ultimate best bang for your buck beer in Utah for 2020.

That's the easier side of it. What's more complicated and much more subjective will be how I rate Utah craft breweries. I'll be reviewing both the experience in their tap rooms (if they have them) and their beer line-ups. Maybe I should separate the tap room and overall brewery experience and then focus on single beers (could do best draft and best "high point")?

I'll be getting started soon and I hope to update each thread 2 times a month. I think I'll be doing something that is not common, not something you've likely ever seen. I certainly haven't. I'm not basing this on some type of model or example. This will be something contained within 2020 and I will issue my end of year awards in December, shooting for the Solstice as a deadline.

I'd like to invite people to be my guest at a few of our local taprooms. This would mean I would buy the drinks. I often go out by myself and I'm thinking this is not the best way to evaluate a venue.

If anyone is interested in accompanying me to one of the places listed feel free to PM me. I'll pay for the drinks within reason.
 
I'm a huge fan of 2 row Dangereuax Farmhouse Ale. One of my favorite beers of all time. Also I'd be interesting in going for a drink with you man. I live in San Clemente now but I am in Salt Lake about every other month for work.
