Enjoy one of the many new kick-ass beers coming out of Utah. This will be looked on one day as the Golden Age of beer in the Beehive State. I'm drinking this incredible Imperial Stout from a brewery that up to this point was only really known for low-point beer, most of them only passable. Are there any other serious beer lovers on this board?

[Choop]

dogggggggg i love me some good beers, but i'm finicky about the flavor profile range. not too hoppy or sweet, rarely wheat, any color.

some of my favorites:
belhaven st. andrew's ale (best beer i've ever had)
alaskan amber
leon negra (by the other mexican beer company, cervezeria quetzlcoatl)

seriously there should be a thread about beers


today i'm gonna ... want to shake the hand of the inventor of silicon spray lubricant. no more squeaky hinges in my whole house. cue pervert jokes in 3... 2...

I am somewhat of a real ale connoisseur. Britain's got an amazing amount of local breweries, pubs have a mini-brewery in the back occasionally. I can get quality locally-brewed, good quality beers in Sheffield for £1.40, as well as their being pubs around with beers being 'Beer Champion of Britain' etc.

Do some homebrewing as well.

Local brewery Kelham Island has some top top beers. Pale Rider, Easy Rider, Night Rider, Texture Like Sun, Revolution From My Bed, Riders On The Storm, Cool For Cats, American Land, Reelin' In The Years, Parklife, Maggie May, Up The Junction... all beautiful

who's employed in a part-time position with "flexible"/sporadic projects? Me. I Am.

Worried it will be more sporadic than I think, but making 175$ in a day every once in a while sounds pretty damn good right now.

[theinevitable]

it's a market research firm that produces jargon, as far as I can tell.

our TRAINED ETHNOGRAPHIC CONSULTANTS use ETHNOGRAPHIC METHODS and CLOSE OBSERVATION paired with INNOVATIVE NEW TECHNOLOGY to... blah blah blah. Before my interview I tried to research the company, and I could find very little that actually told me what they do. luckily during the interview the guy gave me a pretty in-depth walk-through of what a day is like.

basically I go to stores (Wal-Mart, Target, Schnucks, Best Buy) and observe people shopping for certain products, and then approach them and offer a gift card if they'll answer some questions about a product.

I don't know how much I expect this to actually end up paying, because he said I'll be notified when there's a project in my area, and projects typically last 1 day, 9-5. But 22$ an hour is pretty awesome. I am doing training next week. I am trying to remind myself that this is not a job that will pay enough to live on, but, it is easy to get over-excited.

So they hired you because you have studied anthropology?

[theinevitable]

yes! I will be sure to tell everyone who has ever been asked "what are you going to do with THAT?"

[wombat]

That is fantastic, I absolutely love it.

[greenkoolayd]

One and the same.

so I've been applying to half a dozen jobs a day (filing, temp work, etc) and got an email about an interview. However, they're telling me I have to do a credit report thing online as part of the "screening process." Is this normal? I am super not-into giving my credit card number to the internet when I don't know what is going on.

I do not trust a website that looks like this with my credit card number.

is this normal?

I also can't find their office on google maps. hmmm.
