13 Prs. of Railroad Crew Socks, White is rated out of 5 by 111.Rated 5 out of 5 by Truckingal from Great buy!! You sure cant beat the price for general daily-wear socks. This is the second time I have purchased these socks for both my husband and my son-and both say they are comfortable to wear. They dont last forever-and at this price I wouldn't expect them to. But at this price, you can easily buy another years' supply. Great doing business with you, Sportsmans Guide!!Date published: 2015-04-13Rated 5 out of 5 by LM 123 from Good Socks Great Price! I've worn Hanes crew socks for a long time, however recently the quality has gone down considerably. I thought I'd take a chance on these railroad socks and I was pleasantly surprised. They're very comfortable and the workmanship seems flawless, unlike the recent Hanes socks. Plus they're made in the USA.We'll have to see how they hold up, but so far so good!Date published: 2015-04-10Rated 5 out of 5 by GrayLaser from Great Value Great price..........great value.........look good........feel good on your feetDate published: 2015-04-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Ace B from Cotton Socks Nice to have cotton socks at a great price.

BlackBerry has reportedly hit out at technology analyst firm Gartner's analysis that the smartphone manufacturers' customers were becoming increasingly concerned about the sinking company's future prospects and that they should move to other mobile technologies.
The struggling smartphone manufacturer said that firms using its products do not need to shift to other technologies and the company's job cuts were part of its strategy to focus on its core enterprise business.
Gartner's analysis were based on BlackBerry's financial losses and planned redundancies, but the company said that many of the firm's conclusions about the potential impact on sales is 'purely speculative', the BBC reports.
According to the report, BlackBerry products are used by governments and large financial institutions around the world for secure communications.
Gartner had reported that businesses have up to six months to make plans to switch from BlackBerry to alternatives, as the company confirmed losses of 950 million dollars in the second quarter and is set to be acquired by Prem Watsa's FairFax Financial, the report added.

RAGBRAI group develops rules for vendors during July 23 stop here

"One aspect of having RAGBRAI visit a community is the opportunity for individuals, organizations, and businesses to generate income as a vendor. While a perception is that everyone can 'get rich' when RAGBRAI comes to town, the fact is that will not happen, however those who want to get involved, do some extra work, have some fun, and make a nice profit will probably meet their expectations," explains Diane Thompson, chair of the local committee planning for the RAGBRAI visit to Clear Lake July 23.

De-Junkifying the Indian
Those were the days when evening snacks comprised of nothing more than the home-made yummy treats like Bhajjias, Pakodas, Channa. Cutlets used to be a bonanza. Well!all of this were good, healthy(Mind you!....All prepared at home by mom).I still remember the mouth-watering channa with Puris served piping hot when I returned from school. I know you will have lovely stories to add this.
Fast forward.....Circa 2014
Mom rushing out of her office, picking up her children dashing straight in to a Junk Food outlet namely Mc D's, Dominos ,KFCs and the likes. Or take the case of those funky college goers who are regulars to these joints and only need a very simple reason to do this......perhaps the spending power of these kids have leapt up so high; and it seems the parents also don't mind. The junk food culture is a kind of 'nothing else to eat syndrome' (though I know most of them don't have a choice) in the sprawling food courts for the corporate lot. This could be my stretched imagination but just thinking how many of us actually do eat junk foods on a regular basis. Eating out always existed in our social culture for over two decades now but the food we ate out was not JUNK!.
Let me clarify something before we start to know more on 'Junking'. Fast foods most misinterpreted food under the sky. All junk foods are almost 'Fast foods' but all Fast foods are not junk! They are some readymade foods made in a 'jiffy'. But when such foods are prepared in a jiffy they need to use some unhealthy ingredients to make it tasty.
How can we define junk food? Any food that contains empty calories with no nutrients and made up of highly processed foods, high Sodium contents and tastes great!!! The best thing is that the taste always makes you eat more than one!
In India Junk-eat outs have become the norm of the day today these so-called fast foods or junk foods are a part of imported western culture.
Let 's see how Indians became junkified:
1. Work meets eat junctions:
Enter IT revolution in India. The time period saw a beginning of all new lifestyle,eat@work in sprawling food courts with many MNC food brands with a few Indian ones luring to some great variety of food. Lest we knew this would kick off a slew of health hazards.
2. 'Mall'ified culture:
We did have big complexes of shops in the nineties. They did have one or two eateries in them. People did shop-n-eat but had limited choices. But what mall culture did to an average Indian eating habit was way different. It threw up a variety offering a range of foods from world cuisines such as Chinese, Italian,Mexican and so on with our very Indian Cuisine favourites like Chaat,Tandoori etc and made it available at one place-one go! It changed the way people shopped. They shopped for food than for other things.
3. Working couples:
Down the years with evolving nuclear family system and the number of working women increasing eating out has become more of a necessity than luxury. The problem is most them left with unhealthy food choices. With little or no time to spare for cooking, a major chunk of Indian were Junkified this way.
4. More Spending power:
Well, that is a certainly news! Standard of living of an average Indian has increased by atleast 50% in last 2 decades. So have the life styles and food styles.Then this Junkified Indian is born. And then burger becomes most part of his meals and Colas become their staple drink.Lo!
5. The Western Hype:
When we great varieties of foods, especially snacks back home. But the hype created by the MNC eateries are being luring that people are flocking into them. Also if you see closely most of them have Indianised with a 'Masala 'twist to their menu.
How to get De-junkified?
1. Change to Indian snacks more
2. Try carry out snacks to office
3. Shift to more 'real' food like fruits and salads for munching time
4. Go more whole grained snacks.
5. Do away with cola drinks and replace them with healthier alternatives.
6. Teach kids about junk-eating, treat them with more Indian snacks
7. Have a budget for food, see to it you work within that range.
Indians are meant to have healthier generations ahead with rich culture and eating habits. The way things are moving we are heading towards creating a sub-standard generation. Choice is your, make a wise choice today!

-Thanks in advance
EDIT: Nevermind I got it.
You can't the achievement description is wrong, here's what I wrote on true achievements it does take some practice, getting 16 katanas or orbs on there own will not unlock it. Couldn't unlock this till a Japanese friend noticed the error and helped me out.
"First off I'll start by saying that the achievement description is wrong for the English version it should read:
"Equip a total of 8 katanas and 8 steel orbs on your Phantom."
Anyone who views the achievement description for the Japanese version will notice the mistake. Also it doesn't take much to notice you can only have 16 items around your ship at any moment.
Once you know this it's rather easy to do, first off however this achievement can only be done in "Slash" mode and it's slightly easier with only one life as you can have more phantom mode energy when on one life.
Following guide is for the DEFAULT CONTROLS
First off you need to get eight steel orbs and turn them into katanas, to do this in the ship form shoot with the RT shot and kill the enemies to collect steel. You want to collect enough steel to make exactly eight steels orbs, you can see how much steel you have collected by the small circles that appear in the ring around your ship. The eighth circle is the one you want to stop at, just before you complete a full half circle around your ship.
(Note: for the next part the more phantom energy you have the longer you can stay in phantom form making this achievement easier to do. Also do not change back to the ship form else you will lose any items you have around your ship.)
Now once you have eight circles around your ship press the X button to swap to phantom form this will convert the collected steel to steel orbs. Now comes the tricky part you need to launch all eight steel orbs by press and holding the A button into an enemy to turn them into a katanas, each one must hit an enemy to change into a katana. If one of the orbs fails to change into a katana you will have to start over.
You will likely now be low on phantom form energy, but while still in phantom form and with eight katanas now flying around you. You now need to use the RT shot of the phantom form to collect steel again this time to get eight more steel orbs to appear around you. Unlike in ship form however in phantom form as soon as you get enough steel for a steel orb it will automatically appear around you.
As soon as you get eight steels orbs and eight katanas around you the achievement should pop, but be sure not to fire or lose any of the katanas as you collect the final set of steel orbs, else youll be starting over again, same if you dont have eight steel orbs before your phantom form energy runs out.
This will take a number of attempts I lost count of how many times I had too many or too few katanas, I also couldnt do this unless I had only one life as I just didnt have enough phantom form energy to collect the last few steel orbs otherwise.
One last tip for collecting steel the closer you are to an enemy when you get them the more steel you get from them.
Oh and items floating around your ship and phantom disappear over time, so speed really is required here.
I got this achievement on the first level after killing myself twice at the very start to increase my phantom form energy bar."
This guide needs to be alot more detailed in places, as it just doesn't provide much information.
Big Catch is a real pain to unlock and I can't find a good guide for it on the net.

National Geographic Genographic Project
Download this activity as a PDF.
The United States is often referred to as "a nation of immigrants," and indeed it is. The population of the U.S. is made up of people who have come from other places – some many generations ago; others very recently.
The students in most classrooms are a microcosm of national immigration patterns.
Graphing Historical Data
a) Distribute copies of Activity #12-Handout 1 and sheets of graph paper. Instruct students to create bar graphs comparing the foreign-born population of the U.S. by region of birth for each of the four years for which data is provided. How have immigration patterns changed over the past 150 years?
Collecting/Presenting Data
b) Have students interview their parents or grandparents to find out approximately when their family first came to the U.S. and from which country.
c) Provide each student with a world map, preferably one that is "Americas-centered." [See Americas-Centered Map]. Have each student locate the family's country of origin and draw a colored line from that country to your location in the U.S. Have each student label the line with the approximate date of the family's immigration.
d) Post a large Americas-centered map on the bulletin board and have each student add his/her immigration line to the map. Compare patterns on the class immigration map to the patterns observed in the national immigration graphs. Discuss similarities and differences.
Extending the Activity
Not only is the United States a popular target for international migration; people within the U.S. are very mobile as well. Each year people move in response to new jobs, changing family circumstances, or retirement.
a) Ask the students how many of them were born in the state where your school is located. Post a blank map of the U.S on the bulletin board and have students add their names to the states in which they were born. Ask how many students have lived in more than one state. Add this information to the map.
b) Visit this map of U.S. migration flows from the Pew Research Center. Examine the interactive maps on this web site that show movement of population among the regions of the U.S. over time. What patterns can be observed? What changes or events might explain these migration patterns? Click on the tab "States" and locate your state in the graph below the map. How does migration to and from your state compare to that of other states? Why do people move to or from your state?
National Geographic Bee Championship
The national championship final rounds, featuring the top ten finalists and moderated by award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien, were held on Wednesday, May 13, at National Geographic's Washington, D.C., headquarters. National Geographic Channel will air the final round of the National Geographic Bee Championship at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Friday, May 15, and on Wednesday, May 20, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on Nat Geo WILD. It will also air on public television stations; check PBS listings for dates and times.
Fifty-one state champs as well as champions from the United States Territories and Department of Defense schools competed in the national championship. View the list of state Bee champions.
Utah State Winner
Gauri Garg, Utah State Bee Champion, was asked to select one superpower, and one global and community issue to solve. She'd use her special powers to end pollution by converting pollutants and educating the public about hazardous vehicle emissions.
How to Help
Fund a School
Donations help fund schools to participate in the National Geographic Bee.
Geo Bee Shop
Student Activities
Teachers can use these activities in the classroom to prepare students for the bee!
Geo-Scavenger Hunt
Simply memorizing terms and place locations can be tedious and even boring. One solution is to make the task fun with an atlas-based scavenger game.
Exploring Diffusion
The movement of people, goods, or ideas from one place to another is a process known as diffusion, which plays an important role in shaping the characteristics of where we live.
Tracking Violent Storms
Springtime brings the possibility of extreme weather, including violent thunderstorms and tornadoes.

I have been blessed with my bottom being out of proportion with my legs and waist. My current breeches (bargain value- $32 tough rider) make my butt look massive. Anyone aware of breeches that would be show appropriate and disguise my booty? I was checking out taylored sportsman breeches, which have a wider belt which would be slimming, but am not sure how they look from the back.
I know it seems silly, but I am a fashionista outside of the show ring, and would like to look my best in it.

Cideries that were operating five years ago are now the industry's elder statesmen. Some stick only to apples, others use them as a base palette for other flavors. All of them are part of a working orchard.
Alpenfire Cider
220 Pocket Ln, Port Townsend, 360-379-8915; alpenfirecider.com
First release 2008
Nancy and Steve (aka Bear) Bishop would cross the border to Canada and drink something "sweet, sparkly, and nice" during their courtship days as 19-year-olds in the 1970s. Additional years of cider appreciation confirmed that making the type of cider they like—bone dry and slightly bitter—required apples uncommon in Washington state. So they started planting cider apples like Britain's bittersweet Brown Snouts and Dabinetts alongside the heirloom apples in their Port Townsend orchard. The uber dry, brashly tannic Pirate's Plank is one of the most delightfully challenging ciders in the state. And if you happen upon a bottle of its Burnt Branch Reserve Glow Rosé Hard Cider, made with a rare green-skinned apple with bright magenta flesh inside, snap it up immediately. The crazy-laborious bottle conditioning process is what gives the sparkle to all of Alpenfire's ciders.
Taste it The tasting room tucked next to the cidery is the place to find rarities like the Dungeness Orchard Blend, a semidry still cider, blended from no fewer than 70 different
apple styles.
Eaglemount Wine and Cider
2350 Eaglemount Rd, Port Townsend, 360-732-4084; eaglemountwineandcider.com
First release 2007
Cider apples are in short supply across the state, but when Jim and Trudy Davis bought an old 1883 homestead in Port Townsend, they ended up owning an abandoned orchard full of them. Today Trudy makes red wine and swingtop--stoppered bottles of cider. Her homestead series is made exclusively with apples from that long-forgotten orchard, colored with flavors of hops, ginger, raspberry, and even quince. The results are pleasantly complex.
Taste it Traverse the homestead's winding driveway for a tasting split among eight ciders and five wines, separated by a palate-cleansing buffer of cheese. In the Seattle area, Full Throttle, 99 Bottles, and Metropolitan Markets carry Eaglemount.
Snowdrift Cider Co.
277 Ward Ave, East Wenatchee, 509-630-3507; snowdriftcider.com
First release 2009
The Ringsrud family has farmed apples in the Wenatchee Valley since the 1930s. In the early 2000s the Ringsruds made the prescient choice to graft over part of the orchard to sharp-flavored cider apples. Another smart move—taking cider from an expensive hobby to an actual business in 2008, precisely the time cider started catching on. Five years later Snowdrift is racing to keep up with demand for its seven-cider lineup, made almost entirely from heirloom and cider apples. The most popular cider, the semisweet Cliffbreaks, pairs complexity with just a bit of sparkle. The English-styled dry cider caught on slowly at first, but in recent years it's gained momentum as customers wrap their brains around cider that speaks of crispness and caramel rather than
apple juice.
Taste it Snowdrift has a decently broad presence in Seattle, at PCCs, Whole Foods, bottle shops, and bars like the Dray or the Noble Fir. The cidery does tastings and tours Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 5 and also by appointment.
Tieton Cider Works
321 Humphrey Rd, Tieton, 509-673-2880; tietonciderworks.com
First release 2008
Three generations of the Campbell family have grown apples on this land but cider trees appeared on the scene in 2008; impressively 55 of the orchard's 400 acres are dedicated to cider apples. Though it boasts the state's largest cider apple plantings, Tieton's top seller is apricot cider. The disarming sweetness is a gateway drug to the more complex stuff, like its reserve line—smaller in production, higher in price tag, and focusing on traditional cider apples. This year Tieton released its Cidermaker's Reserve—a blend of bittersharps and bittersweets—that spent two years in a bourbon barrel with appealingly boozy results.
Taste it The cidery takes visitors by appointment, but Tieton's regular line is easy to find in local bars, restaurants, and bottle shops. Look for the seasonal Holiday Cheer spiced cider, tasting of maple, vanilla, and apple pie.
Westcott Bay Cider
12 Anderson Ln, Roche Harbor, 360-378-3880; westcottbaycider.com
First release 1999
The oldest cidery in the state is nestled on the north side of San Juan Island, where the climate resembles the famed apple orchards of Normandy. And at 14 years old, it's practically ancient compared with its counterparts. In 2011, founder Rich Anderson took on two new partners who introduced apple brandy and some other distilled products and continued making a trio of crisply complex British-style ciders—traditional very dry, traditional dry, and traditional semidry—from bittersweet and bittersharp apples. Westcott Bay is another of Washington's few estate cideries, harvesting, pressing, and bottling right there amidst the orchards.
Taste it Ciders make occasional appearances at Capitol Cider, Whole Foods, PCCs, and Central Co-op, but none of these are nearly as quaint as the small orchardside tasting room, open on Saturday afternoons during summer (otherwise, just call ahead). The distilled liquors attract more visitors, according to partner Suzy Pingree, but "almost everyone walks away with cider."

Rocket Raccoon for the win!
dude awesome.
Hmmm..Iron Man, Thor, Nova, Wolverine, and Jean …all in dark blue and Yellow…
Hmmm…Jean as Marvel Girl…nope, not interested. MG always did seem lame to me. And since the Phoenix Force is now possessing any and everybody in the Marvel 'verse, I'm having a hard time getting excited at the idea of Jean coming back. Until Jean Grey-Summers comes out of the White Hot Room as the one and only Phoenix, I'll pass on this one.
And yeah, I hope Rocket Raccoon whumps 'em all. He looks capable.
this is the jean of the past coming to the future. the present jean is still dead.
whats the deal with the Roadkill holding the massive gun? never heard of him. i am so out of the loop. i am much more knowledgeable with golden and silver age comics. doesn't the whole idea of a vermin holding weapons just make everything seem a bit kiddish.
Not trying to be negative, just asking.
That Roadkill is Rocket Raccoon, part of the Guardians of the Galaxy-team, they're getting a movie in 2014 so they're trying to get the team members more in the mainstream comics!
Why the hell would the hulk put on armor …. -_-
I like that Captain America has a baby arm
nova,iron mans black and gold armor sooo cool,and thor have the best new outfit rehauls no doubt!,the hulk with armor is retarded!, wolverine and spidey wit same ole 90's duds blahhh,cyclops looks ridiculous they shudda kept his avx visor design concept,they shud make nova a guardian of the galaxy now as well as wraith

FEDERALLY INSURED BY NCUA 2 Garden City BrewFest 2014 • Missoula Independent Welcome to the 22nd annual Garden City BrewFest The 22nd annual Garden City BrewFest is upon us, and the Missoula Downtown Association and our 475 members invite you to spend an afternoon in beautiful Caras Park celebrating great beer. The event begins at high noon this Saturday, May 3, as the culmination of Missoula's 3rd annual Craft Beer Week. This year's BrewFest is shaping up to be one of the best yet, featuring over 70 beers, some of Missoula's best food and live music. The brew lineup is extensive and Montana's beer cred continues to skyrocket, with 14 of the 35 participating breweries hailing from right here in the state. All of Missoula's own breweries will be on hand, proudly pouring their latest seasonal offerings. Be aware, some of the brews are only available in limited supply, so we encourage everyone to come early to sample the greatest selection. All of the beers in BrewFest will be judged by the discerning palates of the Zoo City Zymurgists, Missoula's local homebrew club. The Zymurgists will select winning brews in a variety of categories including a "best in show." Keep an eye out for the Community Brew keg that showcases the best homebrew of the year. The Zymurgists hold an annual Community Brew competition in collaboration with Big Sky Brewing, challenging club members to brew their best beer. The proceeds from the winning beer are donated to a local nonprofit of the club's choosing Montana's largest BrewFest wouldn't be complete without great food and local music. This year we have a great lineup of food vendors ranging from older favorites such as El Cazador and the Sentinel Kiwanis brats to some We encourage all Missoulians to enjoy Garden City BrewFest responsibly. Mountain Line runs free of charge all day, and a taxi cab company would be happy to give you a ride home. Designated drivers receive free water and soda during the event, so be sure to get a DD wristband from one of our volunteers at the event entrance. Along with taking care of yourself, please also think about Fido. We care about dogs as much as the next canine-loving Missoulian, but because of health code restrictions, dogs are not permitted at Caras Park events. Garden City BrewFest could not take place without the amazing support of our community. A big thank you is in order to Bayern Brewing, Five on Black, The Trail 103.3, Exact Image, the Missoula Independent, and Montana Headwall for partnering with us to produce Missoula's favorite spring tradition. Let us not forget about the 150 volunteers who staff the event. Without the contribution of these community members, BrewFest simply would not happen. alters photo by Cathrine L.W We hope you get excited while thumbing through this program, brought to you by the Missoula Independent. We will see you in Caras Park at noon on Saturday. newer additions like Burn Street Bistro's "The Beast" food trailer and Bao Chow's delicious Chinese-style steamed Adam Reel buns.

Garden City BrewFest 2014 • Missoula Independent 3 4 Garden City BrewFest 2014 • Missoula Independent photo by Cathrine L. Walters Craft Beer Week connects us by Ryan Newhouse, MontanaBeerFinder.com Missoula residents should feel proud that the Garden City celebrates its own Craft Beer Week. The reason is self-evident: They like beer and being social. And though it is the only official Craft Beer Week in the state, it is one of more than 1,260 beerrelated events across the country that are listed on the official American Craft Beer Week calendar. The idea for a national Craft Beer Week started in 2006 when the Brewers Association changed its American Beer Month—traditionally held in July—to a weeklong coordinated effort preceding the busy summer beer season. The celebration was moved to a week in May, and in the first year, 124 breweries posted events. Two years later, the number of participating breweries jumped to 168. By 2012—the year Missoula Craft Beer Week started—activity was no longer measured in breweries but rather total events (1,368 that year). Many were organized by avid craft beer fans with no official ties to a brewery. In 2010, the U.S. House passed House Resolution 1297 in a show of support for the "goals and ideals of American Craft Beer Week." Montana's former Republican Rep. Dennis Rehberg co-sponsored the bill. While American Craft Beer Week falls in mid-May, cities around the country have taken the liberty to host their own craft beer weeks when it suits their climate and beer drinkers best. In fact, the only month when there isn't a Craft Beer Week somewhere is December. For Missoula's Craft Beer Week, it made sense to its co-founders—myself and Alan McCormick—to schedule it the week before the Missoula Downtown Association's annual Garden City BrewFest. This partnership with the MDA has proven fruitful. In its first year, Missoula Craft Beer Week held about 20 events. In the second year, just over 25 events were scheduled. This year, about 30 events will take place in seven days. Over 15 local, state and regional craft breweries and all three local distributors are taking part in 2014. But Craft Beer Week isn't just about sipping cool new beers. It is about blending everything that is fun and tasty about beer with educating people about the beers they drink. Events held during Missoula Craft Beer Week include beer and food pairings, educational tours, live brewing demonstrations, art projects, brewer's dinners and— yes—lots of beer. These events weave together into a weeklong celebration of craft beer. They also keep Missoula connected to the greater and ever-growing movement of American Craft Beer Week nationwide. That probably deserves a toast. Missoula Craft Beer Week is sponsored by Draught Works and the Missoula Downtown Association. For a full list of events, visit www.MissoulaBeerWeek.com. Laughing Griz Photo by Cathrine L. Walters Garden City BrewFest 2014 • Missoula Independent 5 photo courtesy Bridger Brewing Beering no evil There's more to the perfect brew-tour than just beer by Alex Sakariassen I don't recall exactly who coined the phrase, or how many beers deep we were at the time. But somewhere in the shadow of Glacier National Park, while bouncing between Flathead Valley breweries in summer 2012, a friend lifted a glass and uttered the following: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of draught, I will beer no evil." The quip quickly transformed into a mantra of sorts for our odd collection of Montana reporters, college friends and significant others. We'd initially received the informal brew-tour invite from a buddy in Whitefish who was, admittedly, pining for drinking companions. His offer came as a reprieve from the summer bustle of our respective towns, and each carload of 6 friends rolled into Lakeside to a series of backslaps, hugs and high-fives. While the weekend started like just another boozey reunion over those first pints on the back patio at Tamarack, it only took a few hours for it to blossom into something far grander and more memorable. The first casual chatter about other promising brew-tour opportunities came, if memory serves, over glasses of Bufflehead Brown and Imperial IPA on Flathead Lake Brewing's sunsoaked deck in Woods Bay. By the time we hit the Skee-Ball machine at Great Northern Brewing in Whitefish, it had occurred to some of us that we'd only begun to scratch the surface. Cities like Bozeman, Missoula and Billings all boast multiple breweries. The Bitterroot Valley seemed primed for some sort of taproom-to-taproom outing. At the weekend's close, it was all but official: A second photo by Alex Sakariassen Garden City BrewFest 2014 • Missoula Independent tour had to happen. We dubbed our new tradition Beer No Evil. There's actually a trick to pulling together the ideal brew-tour. Some groups have released various resources online that can help get the planning process started. For example, the Montana Brewers Association publishes a statewide map of its member breweries that can be helpful in singling out a particular city or region, and the Billings Chamber of Commerce actually has a one- page walking tour guide covering the city's seven downtown breweries. That said, making the trip your own is an art that can be boiled down to three key factors. Flow: Anyone can drive from one taproom to the next, but the task grows more challenging with each brewery you add to the itinerary. You don't really want to backtrack, wrestle with heavy traffic or feel pressed for time. We lucked out in this regard on our first trip. Starting at Tamarack put us in Woods Bay, quite by accident, just as the sun was striking Flathead's deck full-on. Great Northern turned out to be a mere four-block walk from where our crew planned to crash for the night. For our second tour—a five-brewery jaunt in the Gallatin in summer 2013—we started on the outskirts in Belgrade before gradually working our way, taproom by taproom, into central Bozeman for a craft pizza dinner at Bridger Brewing. Food: Starting a day of drinking on a full stomach is kind of a no-brainer, and thankfully it isn't too hard to find a brewery complemented by good eats. Belgrade's Outlaw Brewing was an obvious first stop in 2013 for this very reason, and we dined on barbecue pork, french fries and mac and cheese from the brewery's partner restaurant, Bar 3 BBQ. A heavy lunch kept our crew in high spirits when we rolled on photo courtesy Bridger Brewing Garden City BrewFest 2014 • Missoula Independent 7 photo by Cathrine L. Walters to Madison River Brewing, where we crossed paths with a bachelor party in comically overstated cowboy duds. The groom himself wore an iron ball and chain on one leg. It was clear he could have used a pulled-pork sandwich himself. Transportation: The real hitch with these Montana brew-tours comes in the form of distance. We'd been careful in the Flathead to make sure those driving refrained from slugging too many beers before we hit our final destination. The Gallatin proved similarly tricky as we traveled from Belgrade to Bozeman, where we made our first stop at 406 Brewing before continuing through town for a rousing game of Jenga at the BoZone Brewery. All told, we only covered about 12 road miles. But there was a consensus among the drivers that Beer No Evil 3 would have to involve bicycles. Additional consideration should be given to pace. If we learned anything over the course of two brew tours, it's that styles and flavors vary widely even at a single brewery. Want to guzzle beer for the sake of a buzz? Stick to the lighter domestic fare. A brew tour should focus on enjoying each beer on its own merits, with attention paid to what sets it apart from the rest of its craft beer fellows. The ultimate goal is simply to revel in the diverse collection of IPAs, lagers, amber ales and stouts that this state's booming craft beer industry offers up so readily. photo by Alex Sakariassen photo by Alex Sakariassen 8 Garden City BrewFest 2014 • Missoula Independent Once the tour's over, plans will most likely already be underway for another. Talk amongst our crew this spring inevitably turned to Missoula, the possibility of renting the Thirst Gear brew bike and the list of new breweries slated to open by summer. "It's going to be a magical day," our lead organizer "Yea, Whitney told the group via though I Facebook. Another friend put it a tad walk more poetically: through the "It's like Christmas, but better." We've since valley of back-burnered our detailed discussions the of a brew-tour in shadow of Billings or a trek through the draught, I Bitterroot, knowing full well that the will beer beer will be just as tasty and perhaps more plentiful in no evil." another year. In a short time we've learned that no matter where you travel in Montana, the pints will be fresh and the breweries many. We've walked through the "valley of the shadow of draught" twice now, and the only thing we fear is getting so hooked on one brewery that we miss last call at the next. photo by Alex Sakariassen Send text message keyword NODUI to 25827 to get a listing of cabs, car services, and a bus schedule from the U-Dash Gold Line. Garden City BrewFest 2014 • Missoula Independent 9 photo by Chad Harder Better beer The art of judging craft by Carl Spurgeon, Zoo City Zymurgists We as homebrewers spend a lot of time with beer. We don't just enjoy drinking beer. We enjoy the history behind beer, how it came to be, how styles were and are being created and what they meant to the people who created them. We enjoy the science of zymurgy—the study or practice of fermentation in brewing, winemaking or distilling—and push ourselves to create a better product. One way that we accomplish all of this is by judging. Those of us who judge beers are a special kind of beer fanatic. We attend off-flavor parties where we purposefully taint beer flavors and drink them, just so we may recognize them in a competition setting. We pour over style guidelines produced by the Beer Judge Certification Program and the Brewer's Association and speak on the differences. We taste a lot of homebrews and compare them to commercial examples of the style. Generally speaking, we are the beer nerds. The reason we do all of these things is to make ourselves—and those passionate about homebrewing—better brewers. Whether it is at a casual meeting or a formal competition, a homebrewer that hands you one of his creations and asks, "So, whadda ya think?" is looking for feedback. They don't want to hear, "Oh, that's good," or "That tastes like you siphoned it off a diesel truck!" They want constructive criticism. This is where the beer judge comes in. We inspect the bottle. We gently pour 10 the beer into a glass and evaluate the properties of the head. We may swirl and sniff it and chat about the aroma. We hold it up to the light and check its clarity. All of this happens before we even put our lips to the glass. Once we finally get this sweet elixir into our mouths, we swish and swirl, breathe out of our noses, let the beer touch every taste bud in our mouths before we finally let it finish down our throat. One more breath out and we may be able to finally form an opinion. Now, in an informal setting such as a homebrew club meeting, we don't spend too much time deciding if a beer was brewed to style. Homebrew is a place for creativity, and limiting yourself to known styles only hinders this outlet. Rather, we speak on other elements of the beer: the process, the quality of ingredients, fermentation times, storage temperatures, aging times, mash PH, off-flavors, etc. This is, again, all about feedback. This is all to help someone brew a better beer. and it is the reason people enter these competitions. Many even enter a beer they know will not win, just so they can get help figuring out what needs to change in their process. At a competition, things are slightly different. Styles are a big part of what we base our judging on. The reason for this is that we must have something with which to compare. For example, we all know an IPA should have a big hoppy aroma, but a Kölsch? Not so much. We cannot rightfully judge the two as equals in the aroma department. We judge beers to the style as the BJCP or BA, depending on the individual competition, describes it. The areas we score are: aroma, appearance, flavor, mouthfeel and overall impression. All of those categories, with the exception of overall impression, are scored "as appropriate for style." Overall impression is completely your personal opinion on the beer. Each category is worth a different amount of points, which we add up to decide who goes to the next round. We still pay close attention to the aforementioned details, looking for off-flavors and mistakes in process or just general bad impression. We don't focus as much on feedback at beer festivals, although brewers are welcome to look at our notes. We do not expect to ever see off-flavors in a commercial example and giving a commercial brewer feedback on his processes is not something those outside of the industry can effectively do. Sure, the basic process is the same for commercial and homebrewers. But the equipment and commercial needs are far different. When we sit down at the Garden City BrewFest, our table of judges will treat this festival judging just as any other important competition. We ask our judges to eat only a bland breakfast—or none at all—so as not to taint their taste buds. We ask them not to use strong shampoos or perfumes that could throw off distracting aromas. We do our best to find a place as far away from food vendors as we can to avoid interruptions to our senses. You will notice us with our BJCP guidelines out on the table, comparing and discussing the beer's likeness to the style guidelines. More experienced judges will be training the newer folks on how to taste, smell, describe and think critically about what a beer should be. This again benefits us, to make us better brewers. This benefits everyone by pushing the commercial guys to brew a better beer. It's always about the beer. So when you see the table full of beer nerds sporting the Zoo City Zymurgists colors—sipping and swirling, tasting and chatting—realize that we are working very hard for you. We are doing all that we can to push forward an industry we believe will keep flourishing. We are proud of our local Montana brewers and what they bring to the craft beer market. We hope that our feedback inspires more homebrewers, better homebrewers and better prospective commercial brewers in the state. We hope that our BrewFest judging brings about a fun, competitive spirit that pushes commercial brewers to improve their processes, think outside the box on ingredients and styles, and keep Montana leading the race for better beer.
