The grumpy old man in me likes my bike to be as mechanical as possible, I don't want to remember to charge my shifters, power meter, gps, etc. Maybe that's why I still ride a 1989 Trek 1200 with down tube shifters and biopace cha

Unfortunately it was completely finished. They may be making it again next year. IIRC the cost of materials and time were much greater than their other beers, so it was a bit of a loss leader.

A Seattle micro brewery did a recreation of this for Chinese new year. It was delicious. http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2017-03/20/content_286203... Full disclosure, the brewery is owned by a friend of m

It's a bit creepy, but we do already sell network enabled baby monitors that do the same thing minus voice commands. Clearly a few have been sold as they were what were blamed for the Dyn DDOS
