funkybottoms posted:six years ago a case of GBS would have been a huge deal- i (mostly) remember getting pretty housed with a couple of goons on it and a bunch of weird variants/randalls that year, but for some odd reason haven't enjoyed it as much since... that said, the coffee variants are good and definitely worthy of inclusion (they're releasing different versions every Saturday from November 3 to December 15; it's somewhere on facebook iirc). i take it you're staying in town? Oh yeah I'm an RVA goon, every time I go on vacation I'm reminded that I'm criminally spoiled re: good beer

Beercation is one of the dumbest words. You are going on a vacation to visit breweries. Maybe you're going on vacation to relax, read some books, visit friends, and drink beer. Nobody says they're going on a beachcation, or a skication, or a friendcation, or an anything-cation, I don't get how beercation is a word. Dumb. It is dumb.

Doesn't mean it's not a dumb word. The kind of person to use beercation seriously in a sentence is the stereotypical beer nerd and wears a fedora as a fashion statement.

I have absolutely heard skication and I'm sure I've heard some variant for the beach too, though it escapes me at present.

It ranks up there with people/companies who put -gate after anything (Deflategate, and a ton of other hokey phrases I can't remember right now). The original, Watergate, made sense because that was the name of the office complex and encompassed all the shady poo poo the Nixon administration did. Adding -cation after something is just as dumb.

It was a particularly slow night for candy  I don't think people associate the area for primo candy. Their loss! The few that showed up got hands full of candy and I drank hands full of good and cheap beer. I also ate pizza.

I have a dinner res at 6 to carbo load for my 5k on Sunday (gently caress you, I am eating a ton of pasta to run 3 miles) but could probably meet up later. Otherwise I need to run to the Mousetrap sometime during the day to pick up some Cygnet (which btw is very good).

Mousetrap is a good idea since I too would like to pick up some lil mini baby bottles. Later-ish (gently caress you, 830p is late for me) is better.
