Hey, try living like that for 8 years like I have. That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger! At least the beer and food were good.

Is the Flat Branch still good? Planning to sample there this weekend. Any other notable Columbia MO brews/dining?

Well, they recently medaled twice at GABF, so apparently they're still doing something good. Don't know of anything else in Columbia.

If you don't mind an easy 30 miles total ...

I want! I want! Text sent.

I'm going to do a partial boil extract kit, and I have a 1056 smack pack. I know I could just go with the smack pack straight up, but I'd prefer a starter. Problem is, I've never done one.

So, does anybody have any DME I could borrow/buy? I'd trade my smack pack for a starter too, even though I ...
