Disagree. Most english-style breweries stick to their craft. Unless there's a collaboration of course.

I can’t speak to the conversion costs, but our first year of heating with natural gas was about 1/3 the price it had been with oil.

Why? Are the IPA fans the only ones who go to breweries?

I know I avoid them at the liquor store but every time I go to a brewery it’s the vast majority of the selection; which I’m turn makes me less excited to go to breweries

Thank you!

Fair, it's kind of a gamble whether propane or oil will be cheaper. We bulk bought propane in the $2.80/gal range ( prepaid for 800 gal and they deliver throughout the season) which I know is not an option for a lot of people due to eating an upfront cost. But since we locked in with our propane supplier for a year they waved the tank rental fees. It ended up working out for us. I think my mother ended up paying around the same total amount for 2 oil fill-ups $4 /gal * 2* 300 gal tank.

I laughed but also understand the need to be wooshed for fun

I was rowing.

He didn't ask her out of the blue, and her reply of being offended is why he probed as to what she was offended about. I'm not saying the guy is not at fault, I do understand why he would question the fringe of what these proposals require. You're trolling for comparing it to a completely different situation of asking someone next to you if they are a pedo. Context actually is important. She could have just explained her position instead of grasping her pearls and getting offended. To state it clearly, I don't condone either of their actions but I can see motivating factors for either side.

propane is tricky as it has less btu per gallon equivelant than oil. it depends on the costs of each at the moment, and you can get into tank rental fees, and then you are pretty much stuck with whatever propane suppiler you go with. Someone who was locked in at $3.10 for propane noted oil needed to be $4.30 or more for propane to be a better deal. I think that included the propane equipment being a bit more efficient in the calc. Personally, I'd stick with oil over propane.

If you go before the trees start to grow their leaves back it’s one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I go once a day when they are home. Truly something to see

The largest heron I've seen in my life is on Alton pond. I do not know where the rookery is, but there's a pterodactyl that runs it.

silly herons rowing - -

especially when they could just fly

They'll have a hazy IPA on tap within a year. Bet.

There's a vocal minority that echoes this "I'm sick of IPAs" sentiment, but the reality is they're what keep the doors open and lights on for most breweries.

Converting my house over after our oil boiler just shit the bed. We have forced hot water baseboard heating. Getting quotes right now for $14-$18k and that is without the cost of the unit itself, that's just for labor. RI Energy is also not being convenient about running the lines to the house. They refuse to do anything until June. Normally I get this, but we've had such a mild winter, the ground isn't frozen. They still refuse to come out earlier. It's going to be an expensive pain in the ass, but not having to worry about oil will be nice.

I used to see herons at Carr Pond rowing around from the Gilbert Stewart Birthplace Museum.

that's because 85% of them are fucking gross but no one wants to admit it for fear of being shamed by some moustachio'd beer snob.

a good IPA is really good but the fact of the matter is that most simply aren't.

This one and Home Depot in Seekonk are my picks!

George Washington Hwy in Smithfield. Right across from the entrance to Smithfield Toyota.

Not in RI, but not far: in Sutton, MA there's a campground called Sutton Falls. There's a lake on their property that feeds Lake manchaug. I've seen herons in the swampy northern part of that lake every time I've been there in the last 40 years.

the birds are natives, protect your silly man-made pond containing non-native species :D

Looking forward to this.

Been waiting since 2021 for them to open.

Not yet, but Sundaes on Oaklawn Avenue opened last Saturday to hold you over!
