    To you. To a large portion of the population. If the only two options I had were Coors and Budwiser I would not drink beer. There is a reason why thousands of craft breweries sell millions of cans of beer that are not the 'cold and wet' type like the two you mentioned. The reason is a small...

    Europe 2025/26

    Which is easy to do. You’ll get a modest self contained apartment on snow in a French resort for under 150USD per night at that time of year. Same goes for Italy. I’m going to challenge myself to average 150aud (about 100usd) per night when I go in March next year. I spend the savings on group...

    That lager is breaking the stereotype @jamesdeluxe has labeled us with. 🙂

    Oz/NZ 2025

    Went to Rottnest Island yesterday. Went for a bike ride. It’s very scenic and the beaches and water are beautiful. They’ve also got these little fellows. Too cute.

    Not always. A Cherry Ripe and a good stout is a match made in heaven. Do you have Cherry Ripe in the USA?

    New England/Northeast Foliage Reports

    If that is disappointing I’ll be impressed if I go in a disappointing year. It looks lovely to me. I had planned to visit this year but those plans were stymied by my dad having some medical issues. Won’t get there next year either as we’re going to Slovenia/Dolomites in late September for...

    Oh no. That was a go to for me for quite a few visits between 2010 and 2020.

    My mates that drink the commercial ‘cold and wet’ beer that is tasteless to me think I’m a weirdo.

    You're a curmudgeon. I personally love IPAs and I find the adjectives helpful because the description means I can make a choice that suits my taste. The dumb names and silly graphics are dumb and silly but more amusing than anything. I drink a large array of beer styles but they are usually...

    That’s sad. Craft beer is one of life’s great pleasures. The grey lady is the NY Times?

    Panorama, BC - Panorama Is Skiing’s #LifeHack. Actually, so is all of B.C. outside of Whistler.

    The writer seems a bit negative toward the mainstream US ski areas. My family were at a few of them last Christmas holidays. Whilst it was busy lift lines weren't bad at all. We had a great time. Better than the week or so later skiing in Canada in the freezing fog.

    The Pitfalls of Gen AI (Skiing-Related)

    I'm a Luddite by nature so it's no surprise that I find AI horrifying. I despair for the human race.

    Schweitzer, ID: 03/03/21

    Thanks @jamesdeluxe . I’ve not been to Schweitzer or any other interior north west US ski hills. I didn’t even know it had lake views. I’d love to check the area out one day….

    Oz/NZ 2025

    It would have been nice to get a few days on skis down south given it has been a decent season for the Oz mountains but I’ve had to stay close to home as I’m assisting my dad to get to medical appointments temporarily. That winds up very soon. I took my lad and his girlfriend to do the last...
