It is always pleasant to reflect that if Elon Musk and Bill Gates put all their money together, the best pint of cider they could buy would be neither better nor worse than mine

I don't know what it's like to live in South Dakota or something, but some guys who have won multiple national medals for lagers came over the other day to brew a lager with us and it was just normal. You could go to their place and drink their lagers if you want (or you could drink ours :) )

Beer is dramatically better now than in 1986. No matter what kind beer you like (yes, even "anything but IPA"), someone near you is probably making a very good example of it, and you should go patronize their business.

If these were cars, you'd need a 6-story parking garage and it would take 2 hours to empty out after the game. People would leave the game early to "beat the rush" and would have missed singing Take Me Home, Country Roads together.

Today is the anniversary of the Mt. St. Helens eruption! Smarty Pints is on the case! Come hear two scientists talk all about it. Talk starts at 630, get here by 6 to make sure you get a seat and a pint*. *it's important that you get a pint. That's how we pay rent. We have NA selections! :)

Prof. Harold Tobin
Professor and Paros Endowed Chair in Seismology and Geohazards, UW Earth and Space Sciences
Director, Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
“When Mt. St. Helens blew its top - and how we (probably) will know before it happens again”
Mt. St. Helens blew itself to pieces in 1980 in the largest eruption on record in the Cascade volcanoes. 46 years later, we can still see the effects in the landscape today. UW and USGS scientists recognized the signs of an impending eruption months in advance and sounded the alarm, undoubtedly saving many lives. Now, MSH is considered the most likely of Cascades peaks to erupt again – but how do we know? We monitor tiny earthquakes, bulges and changes in the land with GPS, temperature, and gases, all to detect any signs of unrest. I'll discuss the state of the science then and now and our role in it here at the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

Dr. Eric Wagner
Writer and researcher
UW Center for Ecosystem Sentinels
“After the Blast: The ecological recovery of Mount St. Helens”
On May 18, 1980, the world watched in awe as Mount St. Helens erupted, killing 57 people and laying waste to hundreds of square miles of land. Everyone thought life would take ages to return to the mountain, but scientists who visited soon after were shocked to find plants sprouting up through the ash, and animals skittering around downed trees. Ecologists have since spent decades studying life’s resilience in the face of seeming total devastation. Through their work, the eruption of Mount St. Helens has become known as the greatest natural experiment in Pacific Northwest history. Tonight, author Eric Wagner will take everyone on a journey through the blast zone. He will talk not just of the surprising ways animals and plants survived the eruption, but also the complex roles that people have played, all while showing how fascinating Mount St. Helens still is more than forty years after the blast.

A couple of former coworkers/friends who hadn’t met in years just ran into each other in front of the bar, started talking, comparing kid pics. “You’ve got a 4yo, too? No way! Dude, I bet you’re an amazing dad! I bet you’re crushing it!” “It’s fun! But it’s hard!” I love this place sometimes.

West Coast IPA is mostly a reactionary style. Most (not all, but most) is made to prove the brewer remembers the good old days and doesn't truck with this hazy stuff. And is not very good as a result.

Brewers are creative people - they look at an empty brewkettle, and a pile of possible ingredients, and figure out how to create magic. They partner with other creative people (artists, copywriters, etc) to promote the magic. There's no good reason to undercut other creative people.
