That was the part I found most distressing.

(The saddest part is still that I willingly drank a Rolling Rock)

I quit both. Quitting twitter wasn’t really important. I’d mostly just retweet other people’s stuff. But yeah, this was kind of a sad comment in an otherwise lighthearted thread. Here are some flowers and smileys to balance it out: 😊🌷🌸💐🌻☺

real thrown for a loop by this too. did they mean saison? maybe?

anyway nice job getting to drink beers for work you all, hit up a craft brewery sometime you might like it

Right?

I’m still sore about having missed getting a hold of the limited edition Beer Thousand a few years back.

for the record, this was wildly accurate!

I, too, was wondering this, whiskeyclone.

Yeah, I can drink them and all, but I’ve never much cared for them and really hate how much of the craft beer market they’ve gobbled up. I don’t mind bars having one or two on tap, but in some places they’re like 95% of the craft offerings. Stupid lemming Americans (I’m from Philly).

Lighten the fuck up.

Replace IPAs with scotch and I agree

Right? I honestly hate that feeling more than anything. And then you wake up at 11:00 hungover and can’t go back to sleep. Oof, it hurts me just to talk about it.

Yeah, I mean think about it this way, IT’S FUCKING BEER YO.

Sure you could say music is as arbitrary and pointless, but you could also follow that thread with just about every form of entertainment. Jesus Christ, they’re probably shooting Tom’s heart full of adrenaline in whatever little room In Pimlico they have him chained away from his family, so he can continue reviewing every sound nature has ever produced or whatever.

People wanted to drink some beer and have it be called work. No one’s pretending to be an expert.

Yeah maybe it’s best you quit drinking. Fingers crossed you were the person who said that. Or maybe you just quit Twitter. Either way, Jesus Christ, that’s honestly up there with the most depressing things I’ve ever heard.

Bubba Gump’s for a real taste of fake New Orleans.

I’ll back you up on that. IPA’s taste like gym socks covered in bandaids.

That sounds fun actually? I mean it’s very clear they aren’t pretending to be beer experts so who cares?

pizza is also gross.

well, gross the way it’s usually made: cheese is like a disgusting mucous, and when it is literally covering a pizza, this is way gross.

Next week on Status Ain’t Hood: a roundup of all the CD-Rs Tom felt weirdly guilted into buying cos someone scrawled his name on them with a sharpie.

don’t forget sbarro’s for that classic New York slice!

Drinking a 4-pack (12oz bottles) of Founders Barrel Runner in one night without bothering to read the abv on the label I think is what singlehandedly kicked off my alcoholism a couple months ago. None of the other hangovers were too bad after that one. Except for the wine ones. (4 days sober now.)

The M+Ms store is also pretty good.

Also, school is cancelled for the next two days, so i’ll be hunkering down v hard and drinking some beers here at home.

Just never IPAs.

IPAs suck

Give it time. My local supermarket sells generic orange soda.

The part where you put the URL in mobile Chrome has a lil setting for it. I like them!

when I was in college I found this Steel Reserve poster with two Rhinos fucking. It said, “You think this is raw?”

Obvs I hung it up.

I hear there’s some good beer coming out of Asheville

I did! Me and my GF split the 4 pk with another bomber a few weeks back. Didn’t think we’d get that rocked…but we did lol

Dank is the right word for it.
It has so much flavor for a low abv IPA. I’d drink it all the time if brewed regularly, no novelty sponsorship required.
