Well, there is your tradition, always start with a Stone IPA.

Meanwhile, last week I tried the Blackened Voodoo from Dixie.

Now granted, Dixie is right up their with Iron City and Stegmeier in taste, but Katrina damn near killed them and their recovery only has one direction to go

The Blackened Voodoo was actually quite tasty, not very bitter and finished clean. However, I believe this was a contract brew and not out of NOLA.

The BV is a good beer. We have had it in these parts since the pre-Katrina days. And yes, sadly, since the Dixie Brewery was devastated during the levy breeches(both from the flood and from looting), all of their brewing is now contracted out. I keep hoping for the day of its return.......

You have no idea how close I was to reporting this as spam. We've been getting it a lot lately...

Think I'm a little quick on the trigger today?

Anyway, I haven't seen you before (I think), so welcome to the forum! You've come to the right place...

I tried the WalMart Dr. Scholl's machine, and bought the cheap ($50) orthotic it prescribed. I've never had the prescription type, but I have received a lot more relief from them than the general shoe inserts that claim to help.

I have to take a look at the Dr. Scholl's.
I bought a pair of New Balance Cross trainer with the proper width (anyone want to buy a pair of 1 yr old New Balance 11 EE??) and then went to a medical supply store where I bought a fitted pair of orthotics for about $50.00 (probably the same type of thing as the Dr. Scholls).

I was on the field for 3 hrs last week / no problem.
I also used them on a 4 day vacation to Pittsburgh and have a 3 game series scheduled Saturday.
They seem to have done the trick.

I picked up a pair of cluncky full support shoes (also with an orthotic arch support) for everyday, so the New Balance can take their place as my full time base shoes.

Now I have to see if I need to replace my plate shoes with a wider version and support them.
I'll find out this weekend.
