Very cool. I'd like to try that. There's a place here called the flying saucer that has a ton of beers. I will need to see if i can find that.

</div><div>Fi and I had it in the UK last year. FINALLY a few bars in LA started serving it AND we found it in bottles at a beer store near our house one day. I hope it catches on in the US.</div><div>
</div><div>Edit: It's 70% Belgian wheat beer and 30% real strawberry juice. It's sweet, so it's not REALLY like beer, but it's drinkable. I don't like things too sweet. Like, I don't like most ciders or sweet lambic. But Fruili is NOM.</div><div>
</div><div>Actually, my real favorite beer is Allagash Curieux. I bought some for my bachelorette weekend, which commences tonight. Unfortunately, I have a bad cold, so that drinking is going to work out well.</div>

Ok, well seriously i'm not out to annoy everyone. That is seriously not my intention. Sorry.

Good.  Because I hate what beer tastes like.

i'm afraid to find out if they sell it at the beer store because i'm sure i'd turn into an alcoholic on that stuff - it just goes down so easy!  (i'm glad someone else knows what i'm talking about, hehe)

It's a website where  you can create booklists  and review books and have friends that recommend books to you until you end up with a to read pile of 1000 books  or more.  I'm at more right now and trying to be realistic about which I'll REALLY read and which just sounded vaguely interesting for the 10 seconds it took for me to mark them as to-read.

See, I like strawberries. And I like beer. But the combination doesn't sound appealing. I might try it if I see it around though - you never know!

Interesting. I might look this up. I just ordered a Kindle, so I downloaded 8 gigs worth of eBooks.

ETA: Thanks Salt.

texagj

I don't know. I think its because we are both new and just really enjoy the conversation and want to chime in. I guess its coming off as annoying.

xyrius

ak - you'll thank me later

moose - do you buy the hardcopy books or do you have an e-book reader thing?  i'd like to get one of those (dont' know the real name for it)

eta: oh, kindle, that's what i was looking for

You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.  No worries.  Hang in there.  And apologize less in FFF.  :)  (Don't apologize for apologizing, either.)

akhensley81

Don't worry, tex - I annoyed the piss out of people for the first few months. I was just thinking the other day that I haven't been flamed for irritating someone in a while. LOL!

Don't let it get you down. Sometimes it just takes a while for people to sort of settle in to the culture of the board. Stick around. Every couple of weeks someone realizes that their favorite posters all annoyed the crap out of them when they started out.

Everyone else: I'm intrigued by this Fruli. *scurries off to google local sources*

texagj, i think you earn respect around here by rolling with the punches - like squirrly said pretty much

I have the Sony eReader and I like it, but right now I'm using my library card a lot.

It happens.  Our memory is either long or short depending on how you handle things.  So far, not so bad :)

When you find it, please to be sharing.

That's right, tex! Be proud of your newb self.

opalsky007

Closest place I'm finding is in Salem. It's hard to search for it in Boston because I keep getting hits for Boston Beer Works and Boston Lager on beer blogs.

This will need further research.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I'm through this whole thing. Damn. I skimmed most of the WoW stuff though.

Opal, if Amoro knew what KA warned her of before, why was she banned THIS week of all weeks and why did she blame Heels and posse for it? If she knew, that doesn't make sense. It's all very coincidental.

texagj

I like to try alot of both beer and wine. We do have a TON of microbrewers down here though so our selection is pretty great.

texagj

Lol. Hey its my fellow newb! I felt I had to speak up for us
