It looks like some functionality is returning to the old Mr B forum, but for me it is too little too late. I may still order from them from time to time. Actually I like some of their new extracts like the Northwest Pale Ale and Bewitched Amber Ale as a base for my own brews. I keep checking in to the forum but mainly it feels like watching a train wreck. Just can't keep from looking.
It is much more fun here now. :stout:

Well I quit brewing hme's in feb. and never bought a kit, I just buy dme, hops,and yeast. you got a good beer without much work or time involved. I can make 5 gal for what a mrb kit will cost with s&h. So it's not product loyalty I liked the site and the people. It was a great pace to learn. I still hit the noob threads over there to try to help them. and check the drainpipe but don't know fro how much longer.
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Say, did anyone else get an email from Mr. Beer? They were asking me if I have any kids in elementary school that can help them fix the website.

LMAO wasn't sure if they were still able to work their e-mail.

It is a shame about the site, but to be accurate, the basic log-in and posting functions are working now. The thing is ... this forum right here looks and runs the best of any of been on, including my motorcycle forum I go on, and that one is very good. On a side note, I got a lot of compliments from my friends when I served MrB Diablo IPA. Doesn't really taste like an IPA, but it's good.
