I picked up a couple of bottles of hot sauce while in Brooklyn and found another bottle for my next purchase; they were sampling a half dozen varieties and one, though pretty damn hot (ghost and scotch bonnet, IIRC), was super tasty.

Yes and it's been going on for quite a while. Beer got silly and strange years ago, starting with the over-hopped IPA and Belgian styles, both of which are a real chore to drink.

Or, why I don't look forward to having to move someplace humid when I retire.

Was in Greenpoint several years ago. Traditionally had a large Polish population. Many businesses had signs in Polish.

I don't like the look of porches, particularly that style, but they are useful now and then.

I know. Try to find a nice, chewy Porter these days. Anchor makes one, but nobody stocks it. Biggest problem in the beer market seems to be balance - there's more to life than IPAs.

It's a place called Heatonist, I think that it's in Williamsburg, but close to Greenpoint. Little shop, nothing but hot sauce. They provide/sell all of the sauces on Hot Ones. It's a 15 min bike ride from BK Heights.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the IPA gravy train run out of steam very soon. I enjoyed it for a while, and I still get in the mood for one now and then, but it's become so one-note that I don't know where else it can go.

It's a good note, long overdue IMO. For years I've been settling for Heiniken, Dos Equis, Paulaner, Mother's Milk, etc. trying to find something hearty and robust flavor-wise. Can't stand weak, dishwater beers. I love that I can now go into almost any bar and find at least one hoppy offering. One out of 8 or 10 isn't asking too much.

I think that people are still looking for a punch in the mouth, though, which is why I see sours taking off. Maybe things will swing back to stuff like super clean pilsners, like a generational palette cleanser, after the next wave of flavor assault.

Family forum, mister! Reported 
My ride this morning started with light rain and overcast skies. However, It wasn't until the rain stopped and the sun came out that I got thoroughly soaked.

B-Spa is nice. I like the village and my kids go to those schools. If you ever plan on having kids, I wouldn’t buy on East Line speedway. You can get decent 2000+ SF houses in Luther Forest in Malta for mid 3s. It’s a great neighborhood. There’s also high point and travers meadows all close to GloFo. From Luther you have pretty easy access to the Zim and Washington County empty roads are close proximity. Can’t recommend it enough.
I'll look at Washington County. One thing to keep in mind is while house space is good, we're very willing to pay to get acreage as well; the big appeal of the second and third houses are that they sit on several acres, with few neighbors even outside of that. Remember, I was the one who wanted a moat, but I'll settle for a thick forest.

And all I care about is the kitchen. The porch might be nice, but I'm used to them being just for show down here. It's either oppressively hot or arctic, and anyway it's loud outside. Might be different there; AG"s parents in Scotia have a lovely backyard porch.
