Thursday Open Thread 03-19-15

Good morning 99percenters!

The sun drank the last traces of snow from our lawn yesterday. That’s surely a sign that spring is on it’s way. And even better, one of our local beer gardens is opening for the season this afternoon. I don’t mind admitting that sitting outside under the spring sun and enjoying a pint of freshly brewed craft beer is one of my guilty pleasures.

If you have an inkling to drop your neighborhood local or maybe see what’s on the shelf these days at a near by retailer you might want to check out this handy guide of Craft Beer Spring Seasonals 2015 by the Craft Brewers Association. There are recommendations by region as well as availability by state.

This is an open thread so tell us what’s on your mind today, or share a beer recommendation of your own.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. - Friedrich Nietzsche -

My very favorite is a holiday season treat, Bells Double Cream Stout.

Larry Bell is a d*ck. I don't drink anything from Bell's. I'm fond of Founders.
