Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Hobby Grade Edition

Break out the floppy drives, it's time for Capri Booze, forehead stamps, and METAL.

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

For people in WI if you haven't been to the New Glarus brewery I highly recommend it! It's a great place to spend an afternoon.

Just in case you guys wanted to know, the address is totally visible at 13.47, I'm sure JD wouldn't want his address being public.

Damn, was hoping the package I sent would be in this one.

Edit: But I did see it on Jeff's desk, so there's that.

Deep fried tempura battered cheese curds from some home made stand by a gas station in the middle of nowhere are the best kind of cheese curds.

Mozzarella sticks, while delicious, have nothing on these things.

It's crazy how regional beer is these days. I immediately assume the person listing those "good" Wisconsin beers is from the Madison area and get annoyed that they didn't mention any Milwaukee beers. >_>

They finally took a chunk of Dan's brain for study, eh? Well, good luck figuring out the magical way it works, science.
