Would also recommend Innis & Gunn if one would like to try a lighter beer with some taste

The Innis & Gunn oak aged beer is very drinkable

Not tried their Rum cask aged beer yet.

If you ever see this on sale your side of the pond this is superb:

Stella, Pilsner, even budvar are all inbev or millerSAB beers. If you're really strongly anti-corporate (and I'm not suggesting anyone is) you'll look further afield for a good pilsner. Not that they taste bad at all.

I'm partial to Victory Prima Pils, although it's hoppier than the originals, or maybe something German. I've also recently gotten on the Full Sail hype train because their Session lager is a decent beer-flavored beer and it's not too expensive.

Details needed. I just imagine you and Kvc lounging in a smoke-filled room and planning Junya kops.

Pause.

Pretty much junya blazer everyday, down vest or parka over that, cropped wool trousers (like my oliver spencer ones) and all brogue boots everything. A little more TB in my life, vest will most likely be junya or Gamme Bleu.

I just got a sweater back from this girl I loaned it to a week or two back after she stayed over. Turns out she washed and dried it. Yes, washed and dried a 100% wool sweater. It's a bit more child-like in sizing now.

How dense do you have to be to think that's a good idea? **** me.

Luckily it was only mid-grade heat but I think it's still time to break out the pleb mall brand stuff from the basement for such instances from now on. I can't risk losing my knit soldiers to attrition.

Yeah Shepherds Dog was incredible. It is definitely a solid album though, I've been listening to it a lot.

good, I think everyone here despises Y3..

This is the reason I advocate having a couple of beater knits, terrible.

Looks like "chinoguy" is on a scorn filled butthurt rampage.

Will end up banned if he continues this route.

ugh, so sorry for your loss comrade. Which was it?

First and last time this happened to me was in highschool when I was still rocking John Varvatos. Learned my lesson, and always keep a few low level pieces around, though it has hilariously led to instances of "Hey I'm stealing this one..." "No you're not." *tosses allsaints cardigan* "You can have this."
