That's a good beer!
Drank quite a few in undergrad. The big discussion was what the “33” meant. The owners bought a closed brewery on the anticipation that the prohibition would be lifted two years before it was. So prohibition ended in 1933, there are 33 steps going into the brewery and 33 tributaries feeding the river where the water comes to the brewery. The company never revealed what the “33” was for.

Ive definitely seen the 33 before. I used to love drinking these on the boat.
That is really cool, Kevin. Your making history fun with beer! Just like I did in middle school. :)

One of my rfas put it’s rear end against the front glass so now every time I look it’s mooning me. It’s got some wiping issues, there’s a empty bumblebee snail shell stuck to it’s right cheek.

Wet wipes work well. Aloe to be more specific. Remember to wipe front to back though if it's a lady RFA.
 
Best to ask @Snoopdog about the fungus gnats. I had one of my two tuppers get an invasion (small invasion) and I manually killed off all of them I could.
Like the real Snoopdog?! Didn't think he dealt with mushrooms (fungus), mainly the devils lettuce.
 
I just want to say thank you all for the congrats on the gift card and the "Rock" banter. I truly look forward to 'seeing' you guys and gals daily. You all have helped me through some rough days! I love my extended fam!

Same to you brother. You're always a bright spot on the day with your shenanigans. You were an jnstant smorgster!
 
Luis isn’t drinking a cold green bottle with me. 😪 I thought for sure it would get me a seat at the cool kids table!
 
@tharbin I tried to grab you a couple tropicana anacropora shots today when I had the lid off the tank. I'm looking forward to seeing it take on that traditional "anacropora growth pattern"

I'm named Chris and live in the United States. I love fruit and drink way too much coffee (moka pot is my life). I love birdwatching, hiking, photographing wildlife, reading, and language learning. I spoke only Korean until I was 5 when my mother stopped speaking to me in Korean for school to make me pick up English. I forgot all my Korean but I can still read and understand at least 15% of what I hear. I am an upper-beginner to lower intermediate level in Spanish and am self-studying the language at home and school. I am a beginner in German (near A1) and Mandarin (HSK-1). I had a 1-month unit in my history class about how domestication worked and changed human history. Cool class because he let us watch a lot of documentaries. I kinda like turkey bacon more than normal (my unpopular opinion).
Welcome to the Smorgasbord Chris!
