yep.

There have been problems with German Vendors attempting to ship absinthe to CanuckyFuckyLand...

You guys are just in a bad spot.


Maybe you should look to a local vendor...

Labatts!

I would if they accepted C anadian funds. $US=$CDN

The exchange rate is brutal!

LOCAL ie. in country. sheesh


... and I think we Americanians are starting to feel the bite of poor exchange rates. US- Euro (ouch). The price of absinthe has gone up almost 25% in the past couple years.

i think he's talking about a fellow hoser who charges in US$.

Just curious...

What is your favourite label? Blue, Classic, 50, etc.?

BINGO!

actually, i like them all.

i probably have bought blue more than any other though.


(dinky - it takes $200 Hoser to buy $150 American)

COMPTOIR FRENCHMAN

Have any of you dealt with this guy?

Yep. Top feller. Buy from him with complete confidence.

My bad. Sorry.

Complete confidence, eh?

The nice things about the Frenchman are:
1) prices quoted are in dollars & include shipping
2) even when currencies fluctuate, his prices don't (I've been buying from him since November, prices have remained constant)
3) great responder to e-mails
4) interested in a spoon too? E-mail him & you'll probably get a really good package price.
5) sends you a nice PayPal invoice, paying him couldn't be easier. (OK, I know there's a bunch of PayPal haters here, I find this convenient myself)

If you just want 1 bottle or 1 bottle & a spoon, the Frenchman is currently your best bet.

I purchased the 6 pontarlier glass/spoon set from him. Quick shipment, good packaging, I give him the thumbs up.

Oh, thanks.

That's what I said. Do I stutter?

Lots of misunderstanting in this thread.

It's a mental quagmire.

The bermuda triangle of meaning.

really?

inconceivable!

That word always reminds me of "the princess bride".

i said it like he does as i typed it.


incontheeevable!

I wasn't sure if you were just throwing me to the lions because I'm a FNG.
Thanks for the advice.

...the larger her hand, 'til no one understands...

The one thing we do not joke about around here are good vendors.

Never had "Miller Genuine Draft" with isomerized hop extract, eh 6er? The stuff is simply bad.

Yea PU is great if you can get it without it being light skunked. Old belgian doubble beats BudMillerCouos any day of the week.

Youngs Doubble Chocolate Stout is another good beer.

I agree. I had my first one with chocolate cake. Good combo.

Pilsner Urquell is one of the worst beers I've ever had. Why would they bottle it in a light green bottle? It tastes like a hippie's armpit.

Coors Light is the worst. It tastes like a meat eating hippie's ass.

great.

I didn't need that image, and don't want to know whether or not you know that from experience!



But if it works for you, go for it.

Grate.

grrrrrrrrreat!

Anyone recognize this label?

Please respond HERE

Anybody want a peanut?

Now that is funny!

You have a point about Pilsner Urquell.. You know that Aussie place next to Duck Island? Had one there. YUCK!

Is the reason draft beer is considered better because it has little chance to be skunked in transit?

Who knows...it is my opinion that Czeckerland's have absolutely no taste buds.

What Aussie place? No, I don't know. I know of one in Ballard, but that's a few miles away.

Of course they have no tastebuds. They burned them all of with flaming Filterated Czeckerland Xit shots.

I enjoy Pilsner Urquell because it has a crisp hop bitterness. Mmmm...Hops

Hey, Sparky — generally, you'll want to confine to Smuttty's Place any imagery you wouldn't want your hypothetical mom, kids or boss to see. In Smuttty's Place, all's fair game. Heads-up.

I had a hypothetical mom ... always thought she was sick ... drove us nuts.

Oh wait. I misread ...

Well, the problem with Pilsner Urquell is that it sucks when it's in bottles (I assume they pasteurize it differently when they put it in bottles), and that I assume they've licensed the name and the recipe to others (just like Interbrew did with Stella Artois).

Pilsner Urquell *in Bohemia* is quite palatable, though. Not as good as even Ceske Budejovicke and certainly not as good as Regent, but god nonetheless.

[*Draft* beer? And the Louched One wants me to write in American English? Yuck!]

Ha!
Don't you dare, PFW.

Red alert!
Red Alert!

Mmm...Draught beer!

October Howl on tap.

Not bad either, especially since I made it.

This in comparison to the last two kegs that I just dumped down the commode.

Man, do I hate an infection.

I feel you pain. Someone pulled back the window blind in the cellar and I lost a whole batch of pilsner to light shock!

That's the yeast of your problems.

Guilty as charged.

My employer has the same attitude.

Which is why I relish in writing abut true-colour visuals of the -class TrueColor type just to keep making the point my resume claimed I was fluent in *English* .
