Any see the post about JK SPON Still? Single barrel non-carbonated SPON. Low bottle count! I wondering how this one will be received?

Dont really see the neckbeards clamoring for still beer... Low bottle count may help it sell. Even the variations of SPON last weekend weren't selling like crazy... Maybe people have finally run out of money/credit?

JK fruited bottles are starting to hit the Casey trading wall. Too many of the same kind of expensive beers. Fruited wild ales are a dime a dozen these days. JK needs to start adding graham cracker extract, cinammon, and vanilla to these cherry beers to get in on the pastry beer game.

Take that fruit and add it to an IPA with some lactose sugar. Gotta cash in on the milkshake craze before it dies.

Thanks to PWonk for the Pliny

INT. THE COURTROOM DAY (after an Aggie win)
Everyone stands at attention as TXAGS enters. JAH003 is missing.

TXAGS (to B-MAC)
Call your witness.

B-MAC
Where's Jah003?

JOCK07
He'll be here.

TXAGS
Lieutenant, call your witness.

B-MAC
Defense calls Private NColoradoAG.

NCOLORADOAG is escorted in through a side door. He's wearing his Maroon Out 2005 shirt, cardo shorts, tattered Corona flip flops, and white rim Costas dangling around his neck.

62strat
Private, do you solemnly swear that the testimony you will give in this miscommunication inquiry will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God?

NCOLORADOAG
Sure..whatever.

62strat
Would you state your name, rank, and current billet for the record please, sir?

NCOLORADOAG
Private NColoradoAG, wort manager, WeldWerks Brewing, Greeley, Co

62 strat
Thank you, sir, would you have a seat, please.

NCOLORADOAG sits.

B-MAC
Private, when you saw PWONK walking under the bridge, did you notice he was talking with two individuals the entire time, and showing them the short cut underneath the garage? Did you stop to think that these two individuals may have taken him into the Letterman's Club for the first time (humble brag) and that they may have all been a bit toasty on free booze? Are you aware that his time in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band may have damaged his hearing a bit?

NCOLORADOAG
Have you ever shouted at someone in a crowd of over 2000 people and expected them to look up, son?

B-MAC
No sir.

NCOLORADOAG
Ever yelled loud enough to get through all the ambient noise? Ever picked out one guy in maroon over all the others out there?

B-MAC
No sir.

NCOLORADOAG
Ever seen a grown man naked? (Airplane)

B-MAC
No sir.

NCOLORADOAG
We yell, son. We yell loud or people don't hear us. It's that simple. Are we clear?

B-MAC
Yes sir.

NCOLORADOAG
Are we clear?

B-MAC
Crystal.

B-MAC speaks with the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you're about to drop your opponents
B-MAC (continuing)
Private, I have just one more question before I call La Fours and Chipotlemonger who were right next to you on the bridge: If you yelled loud enough, and your yelling always carriers through ambient noise, then why would PWONK not turn and acknowledge a man he's always enjoyed having beer with, why would he keep talking to the other individuals? Could it be that you were yelling during the game (like a good Ag) and may have misconstrued your vocal ability afterwards?

And NCOLORADOAG has no answer. He sits there, and for the first time, seems to be lost.

NCOLORADOAG
I was down on the concourse...waving..um yelling loud because--

B-MAC
But that's not what you said. You said you were on top of the tunnel and trying to yell (after having beer and yelling at the game all day)

NCOLORADOAG (pause)
Yes. That's correct, but--

B-MAC
You said, "I am always heard". I said, "Even over 2000 people and a random guy playing a saxaphone". You said--

NCOLORADOAG
Yes, I recall what--

B-MAC
I can have Scriffer read back your--

NCOLORADOAG
I know what I said. I don't need it read back to me like I'm a damn--

B-MAC
Then why would he not hear you?
Private?
Why didn't you--

NCOLORADOAG
Sometimes ambient noise makes it hard to hear shouting.

B-MAC
No sir. You made it clear just a moment ago that your yells are always heard. They are heard, or you go to the TexAgs beer thread and yell more about being ignored on there.

NCOLORADOAG
You little bast@#.

B-MAC
I'd like an answer to the question, Judge.

TXAGS
The Court will wait for answer.

B-MAC
If you were truly yelling at PWONK from on top of the tunnel, and your yells are always heard, why did PWONK keep walking?

NColoradoAG is looking at La Fours and Chipotlemonger

B-MAC (continuing)
Private?

NCOLORADOAG says nothing.

B-MAC (continuing)
You never yelled loud enough because you had been drinking all day and were hoarse from yelling at crappy play on the field that afternoon.

Lt. Joe Bookman
Object!

TXAGS
Counsel.

B-MAC
And when he didn't hear you, you didn't go find him you went onto TexAgs and posted about it

Lt. Joe Bookman
Your Honor--

TXAGS
That'll be all, counsel.

Lt. Joe Bookman
Judge--

B-MAC
You doctored the story

Lt. Joe Bookman
Dangit B-MAC!!

B-MAC
I'll ask for the fourth time. You "yelled"--

NCOLORADOAG
You want answers?

B-MAC
I think I'm entitled to them.

NCOLORADOAG
You want answers?!

B-MAC
I want the truth.

NCOLORADOAG
You can't handle the truth!
(continuing)
Son, we live in a conference that has great football and powerhouse teams. And those visiting teams have to be yelled at during defensive stands. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Jock07? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for the old Kyle Field days and you curse the new DJ and $15 chicken sandwich. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That PWONK's shunning of my yells, while tragic, probably was my fault.
You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at bottle shares, you want me in that stadium. You want me there (boasting) We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone of the Aggie Spirit. You use them on an AO T-shirt.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to 2%ers who come and go under the blanket of the very loud yelling I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went to your seat. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a foam finger and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a darn what you think you're entitled to.

B-MAC
Were you hoarse after yelling at the game all day so that no one could hear you even 10 feet away, much less in a huge crowd of talking people?

NCOLORADOAG
I did my job yelling at the game and I'd do it again

B-MAC
Were you hoarse after yelling at the game all day?

NCOLORADOAG
You're #$% right I was.

Silence. From everyone. TXAGS, Lt. Joe Bookman, the M.P.'s, they're all frozen. JOCK07 and JAH003 are likewise. NCOLORADOAG seems strangely, quietly relieved.

They were filling HSF bottles at Brash this afternoon...smelled delicious. Lots of good looking barrels stacked in that ho too
