Jesus...Alpachino sounds terrible. I can't even drink iced tea, because the caffeine makes me all jumpy. Drinking coffee (except as an occasional treat) gives me terrible chest pain. I take after my dad, apparently, who can't even have decaffeinated coffee (which still has a small amount of caffeine). However, I can have 2 cups of green tea in the morning and it doesn't hurt...not like coffee *shudder*

Contrast that with Kellichou and our mom, who can each put down 3 full pots of strong coffee a day and not think about it.

When I was 10 or so, I had my Dad pour me a cup of coffee so I could try it.  I almost spat it out and he said, sotto voce "Its an acquired taste."  I replied, "Sure, but why would you want to acquire it?"  So many years later now, I am coffee's bitch.   At her altar I daily kneel, to make it safely to work, and to avoid her lash (headaches and crankiness at 5pm).  On the other hand, she's taken me on interesting flavour safaris to islands and countries that I haven't yet visited with my feet, so it seems to be a two-way relationship.

I have been drinking coffee since I was eight.

It is why my growth was stunted. It is why I am only 6'6".

I have no interest in coffee. As a child I rebelled by declaring (to myself) that I would never drink tea like my parents-- I would drink coffee, like all the cool people do.

Coffee is too hard. Tea is lovely.

In 5th grade, before an early morning, going out-of-state class trip, me and the dudes stopped in Dunkin' Donuts.  I had only drank coffee about five times before and was just getting used to the taste.  So I bought one and all the dudes were like, wow, hey, is coffee any good?  So naturally I said, heh, sure!  Man, it looked like they were gonna throw up.  Many full coffees were wasted that day.

Nowadays I don't really drink it very often, but when I do I take it black so I can actually taste it and I get pissed off if a restaurant doesn't have espresso.

As a rule, I don't drink warm beverages at all. No coffee, no tea (in any of its hot or cold varieties). I will suck down hot chocolate when it is at its coldest outside on occasion. I never really mastered drinking hot drinks without burning all hell out of my mouth, and still subscribe to jaydub's "why would I want to acquire it?" stance. I find that people who drink more than a couple mugs of coffee daily have 1) plant-wilting breath, and 2) a lack of respect for personal space.

I love Hot Chocolate a lot.

No digital camera with me, I'll have to go back to my parents for photos. 

It's the green Dude & Catastrophe one though.

Can for Alpachino.

Has anyone else had horrible results with the Achewater beer bugs? Maybe it was some strange coincidence of physics but i put a Russian Imperial stout in one of those of those guys and the bottom literally fell off the rest of the glass. (Note: I stored the glasses in my freezer)
Now Ive got two Dude and Catastropher glasses that I refuse to put in my freezer for fear of ruining my lap again.

[jaydub]

Well, there you go.  You're only supposed to serve Achewater in those, tepid as it was when it was drawn from backwaters of the river Lethe.

Did you brew the RIS yourself?  I'm getting ready to pitch yeast into my English Brown Ale as I type this.

Oooh! Kellichou and her boyfriend, being the microbiology awesome nerds that they are, are totally into zymurgy. Hell of rad, yo.

No i bought the stout at Dean & Delucas on broadway for like $6. I am however going to start homebrewing this summer at the latest. I work for Anheuser Busch and i think it would be fun to get some hands on experience. Do you use a website as a supplier? Im trying to find a decent resource.
