How dense do you like your storage servers? How does a 12-Bay 3.5" SATA server in a 1U package sound? Too good to be true? Too loud to be practical?

Guess again.

But first... What am I drinking???

From Ninkasi Brewing in Eugene, OR, it's Steady Orbit IPA (4.5%). Honestly, I had high hopes for this one, especially when the aroma hit me while pouring. But I was quickly let down, and that's a shock to me, as I don't know that I've ever NOT liked a Ninkasi beer. This one was just a miss for me though.
