Stuck at work ....... just found out a local bar out here carries Three Floyds Zombie Dust on tap!!!

great beer !!

View attachment 85029

MMMM I love Three Floyds. I go back and forth from Chicago to Indiana, and when I'm in Indiana, I live about 2 miles from Three Floyds. Ever since I got pancreatitis, I gotta watch my drinking and am taking an extended break. That being said, sadly, I've never had Zombie Dust. What style is it, and what does it taste like?

Hey Kim, did you get a shipping notice from Pro-Vape yet? Expected delivery for me is tomorrow. I'll be thinking about ya when I take my first toot off that thing, since you were the only other cool one here in the Backwoods playground to order one with me yesterday. (Just kidding everyone else) Going to bed now, everybody have a great day!

Good morning crew! (I slept in a little today; still kind of on vacation even though I'm back in the city :))

Hiya Whis & Crew!!!

It's my daughter's 20th B-day and opening night of her new play. Lots of merriment today :)

Congrats Wharf! What's the play called?

Only thing that comes close is Flying Dogs Double Pale Ale. Zombie Dust is in a league of its own for sure and is extremely hoppy. If you go to 3 Floyds a case will run around $35 but well worth it. This is one beer you HAVE to try if you enjoy micro brew beers.

Mine still shows as processing. I ordered it 12 minutes at midnight. Guess I waited 12 minutes too long lol.Not in a hurry, Even after it ships, it takes good 2 weeks for me to get mail here if weather is good.Some accessories I ordered on the 29 Feb just got here today :( But anyways, enjoy your provari!:D

Yeah, about 5 miles away. It is wicked foggy here still. I thought it would burn off by now, but it hasn't.

Damn. I haven't noticed it out here yet. It is a little cooler today (67 right now, which is nice, but it's been in the high 70's lately). Good luck to it clearing up for you soon.

What's the ABV on it? Maybe if it's high enough, I can store it until I'm able to drink again. My favorite Three Floyds offering is Alpha Kong (not Alpha King), and always will be though. It's a sextuple, in case you've never had it. And it was just pure perfection at 15% ABV. I was lucky to be able to have it on tap a few years back.

You go into edit signature & put your curser under the ULR & type what you want...then save

Besides changing the signature, I think he's also asking if you can customize your status that's shown above your avatar (where yours shows "Triple Guru" above your picture, and how they usually say: full member, super member, ultra member, etc.). I'm curious about this as well. Is there a way to customize that area, or can they only be earned over time to show certain defaults?

Edit: For example, is "Triple Guru" something that was given to you because you have over 30,000 posts, or did you create that yourself?

Think it is 6% or maybe 8% ABV dont remember off hand

It's automatically created based on number of posts I believe.

No...those you cannot mess with...they are given by admin ...I am the only triple Guru on the forum, so Roly personally gave me that title

however..above the triple Guru you can in fact change what is says...like where mine says Supplier assoc....that is found in general settings.
