My thoughts and opinions as I drink my second PBR with spicy hot V8 juice.   PBR and spicy hot V8 juice.  Cheap and good.  Like CBGs. 

I see a decline in the numbers of videos and photos posted on CBN.   Is interest decreasing?  

I have a shit-load of opinions on this, but right now, I want to hear what you think.  What is the state of the CBG world and where is it going?

Super funny Clock :)

Ha!   I enjoyed The tasting and playing.   Thanks!

LMAO, James!

summer fun for sure unk. but also i wanted to say. my framus 3 stringer gets lots of sit in the shade play time. rigjt now for me just getting out after a long winter is nice. i think when it really heats up and its lots of a/c then more time at the computer again. my favorite morning beverage is coffee. if you want spicy and cheap. forhetvthe v.8 and get some snappy tom. :)

Yup.  Glad you are getting good out of the Framus Threeus.  I bet it booms.   Snappy Tom is good maybe better than Spicey Hot V8.   No doubt about it, I was being a cheap ass the day I bought the PBR and V8.  But it sure was good.   Had the 5th beer with V8 yesterday AFTERNOON.

This is my take. I have so many hobbies, many of which collect dust now. The CBG has supplied me with aspiration enough to satisfy my craving. The annual festivals push it to the limits for a while and then let up for nine months. There are so many social connections surrounding this CBG culture that it can not be nailed down to a single specific group. Your question UJ, on the decline is a tease. Each year, more people are introduced to CBG's and many of them obtain one or build their first. Where's it going? In every direction, including commercially and globally. I like the global connection because it has found a common ground. Because of it's wide range of sounds, visual diversities and financial attainability it has the potential to stick around a very long time. I laugh at a few music venders that can not take CBG's seriously, yet with my Gibsons and Fenders  the first guitars picked out by visiting musicians are the CBG's. Simply because they are fun and exciting instruments. The Gibson is fantastic, so is the Fender but the CBG's seems to open up new experiences for people.

Wait . . . Unc, is the PBR and V8 juice actually (shudder) . . . MIXED TOGETHER??

Try it Kevin.  You will sing and play better after drinking  a few of these and you will get  your vegetable servings too.

John as I write this, there are 2609 views and I didn't count the comments. So I think there is still a great deal of interest in this community. One thing though, I'm going to buy stock in PBR and tomato juice. I never drank beer with tomato juice but my father did. I was always partial to blackberry brandy and tomato juice though on a cold winter's night. I don't drink now,  gave it up in '91. The only vices I have left are women and song, The wine was messing up the women and song part of the fun. :) P.S. am looking forward to seeing pics of all of the PBR canjos you guys are going to make.

Well this post took a right turn into the bar parking lot for just one!

Redbeer is for hangovers. And camping. Stay away from the spicy Turtle.

Bud was brewed by a Germany and is owned by a Belgium company. go figure.

California alone has over beer 450 breweries.

Oh as for posting vids I found a old Halo game  the last 2 weeks when I sit at the pc I tend to shoot aliens.
