Perhaps I owe Dopp a beer...

[Guitar's Cry]

I've heard a dozen different descriptions of existentialism, such that I still have no idea what it is.

The quickest and easiest I've heard is that it postulates existence before essence, but even that doesn't quite always fit.

How much do you need to get to the point of Nihilism?

:biglaugh: Pretty dang good. Frubalicious good!

 

[doppelganger]

Sounds cool, but what the heck is a 1554?

Enlightened Black goodness.

 

[doppelganger]

How much do you need to get to the point of Nihilism?

Depends on body weight. Though I drive my reality better when I'm intoxicated.

 

[Buttercup]

Is that 1554 anything like Guinness, Dopp? *shudders*

Belgians don't know how to brew.

Belgians don't know how to brew.

These are Coloradans.

These are Coloradans.

I prefer Sam Adams.

Just seems to sweep everything else.

 

[doppelganger]

I prefer Sam Adams.

Not bad, but too "hoppy" for my tastes. I tried their cream stout a while back and was not impressed.

But you should give 1554 a chance.

Would you, could you, with a goat?

 

[Buttercup]

Sam Adams, Oktoberfest is a great beer. Too bad it's seasonal.

The New Belgium, Fat Tire has been my favorite beer for at least 3 years.

Try it after a shot or two of your favorite whiskey. YouTube - RED SOX Win 2007 World Series!

Anyway, I tried some Octoberfest a few weeks ago and it was loverly.

Not as thick as Guinness stout. Its' a black ale so . . . not like a stout or a porter.

Though on the subject of Sam Adams and porters, the SA Honey Porter is pretty good.

Hey dopp... have you ever put salt and pepper on your beer? These thick German beers are like a meal.

No. I'll have to try that sometime. Can you recommend a good brew to try it with?

 

[Buttercup]

Not as thick as Guiness stout. Its' a black ale so . . . not like a stout or a porter.

Ahh. Then, I would probably try it.

On a sad note, I heard beer prices are going up because of a shortage of hops this year!

 

[angellous_evangellous]

No. I'll have to try that sometime. Can you recommend a good brew to try it with?

I did it once, I don't recall offhand what kind it was. It was a thick hearty dark beer, and it could have been Guinness stout.

I've been studying my own epistemology and discovered that I'm an existentialist......

Greetings Angellous. Just wanted to note that if you are an existentialist, you are in the very best of company. Paul Tillich was a Christian Existentialist Philosopher and it don't get no better than that (IMO).

(Incidentally, anyone who can drink beer and read Heidegger has my admiration as does drinking beer and reading Hegel.)
