if you're a fan of IPA's, you should try and have some Pliny, Heady Topper and Ghandi Bot.
and there is the distinction: you are choosing to contribute. when a photo of mine is used without my consent, approval or of my choosing to have it be used, it has been stolen.
it can be, but that's a pretty large blanket statement. first, it's not free. it costs me something when a photo is used without an exchange of payment for a license to use that photo.
but even playing devil's advocate: marketing doesn't pay our mortgage. publicity doesn't put food on the table for my family.

Everyone should be giving this a shot, congrats (and thanks) to everyone at Zurb! http://zurb.com/ink/
i'm finding it odd that there are people who feel like commenting on the appearance of the gentleman (actor/friend/founder/dude) in the video in a negative way. who cares how a guy in a video is dressed to demonstrate a product? and then even if you don't associate with the type of grooming or style of dress, that's totally cool, but to start throwing around gross oversimplifications like 'hipster'?
stop being so fucking superficial.
sheesh… it's just a cool, simple video introducing a product. way to tear it apart.
ps: i typed in "sweet action" and it went all green for me. i submit to the jury exhibit B that clearly shows that ANDREW RITCHIE can not fucking type!
but how about you go drink a sixpoint and then take one of the suggestions it's thrown at ya?! enjoy a good fucking beer tonight :)
you have broken the system and you should be rewarded for such a thing… go drink a good craft beer and celebrate!
typing "Dale's Pale Ale" brings forth the lovely foamy compliments i so desire in a green, hoppy, insulting website. go give it a shot and you'll feel warm and fuzzy (from the website, not just the beer)
so tonight, i raise my bottle of pliny to you and tomorrow i shall raise my can of heady topper to you. for you will have checked out a site about beer. and typed your shit correctly.
if on the other hand you typed in "Mephistopheles Stout" you would of course not have entered the name of the beer, and you would be rightly told that you are an inspiration for birth control (or other such wonderful life lessons)
or at the end of it, you can be like the others who get it and realize, it's vulgar insults and vulgar encouragements that helps suggest craft beers to drink after you're done drinking the one you're currently on. either way, thanks for looking and taking the time to type in your beer to see if a shitty website approves of your (mostly) shitty life choices :)
the real question is: why don't you know the beer's actual fucking name?!
THE Crisp (by Sixpoint)
http://sixpoint.com/beers/core/thecrisp
it's even IN the url slug! ;)
but really, it's not an exhaustive list as there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of beers and new ones getting all of the time, so I'll make sure to add it. and like it says on the site, shoot an email if you've got suggestion ;)
http://ShouldIDrinkThisFuckingBeer.com
it is making absolutely zero money (yet), but the engagement on the site is INSANE. also, the site itself, and the people who come to it (and email/tweet/blog/instagram/vine/smoke signals/carrier pigeon/etc about it) are passionate and willing to support craft beer.
besides the benefit of interacting with super cool, kick-ass people who love craft beer, i've also been in touch with some breweries who are wanting to partner on a multitude of things, and i've been invited to come brew a batch at a few of them, with the head brewers!
so to summarize:
• making no money on this side project.
• not losing any money on this side project.
• over 75 million hits since launch, over 1 million people and over 50 million suggestions every month.
• fuckloads of fun interacting with the craft beer lovers and the craft beer world.
• the amount of engagement the site has will help support the next phase which will make money :)
• ...
• profit!!
also-- the main "cloudcat" text in your <h1> is being cut off on the end. take the font weight of 500 and turning it off or just making it bold will stop it from being cut off.
agreed. and it's one of the main reasons that I moved toward an exclusively apple-based workflow over the past 10 years.

3) Any production Machine has a million things connected to it. So the fact that you have to plug >in a million wires into the thing is a mute point.
completely agree as well. most people plug a bunch of shit in, so complaining that they are going to have plug shit in and that will 'ugly' or 'clutter' it up, is definitely a moot point.

This is cheaper than I thought it would be.
i was a bit surprised as well. pleasantly! i was thinking starting price would be $3499, or even $3799. i still have my 2009 mac pro that i'm contemplating replacing with the new mac pro in december.

I still think anyone basing their video or audio off of Apple is insane since they have continued to show that they are more than willing to put pro users on the back burner for what 3 years and need I tell you the Final Cut Pro fiasco?
I love apple hardware and software, but i don't rely on their professional software. Before FCPX issues, i was running Final Cut 7 and Lightroom. Never really liked aperture (for a whole hosts of reasons) so that wasn't an issue. But once FCPX came out I switched to a mixture of Resolve and Premiere/AE. i actually see this HUGE update to the Mac Pro as showing professionals how they don't want us to be on the back burner anymore.
as an artist myself, it's refreshing to hear someone who has 'made it' be honest and authentic in his representation of struggling as an artist. it's comforting as well that he isn't disillusioned about his success, his talent, the luck, the struggles. and he wants to use his success to help the current/next generation of artists and creatives get a foothold in the city? cheers to him!
