What do you do when your primary NAS is 85% full? You build a new server of course! Just in time for the release of FreeNAS / TrueNAS Core 12.0, I've got an all new NAS and 88TB of disks ready for some sweet ZFS goodness.
But first... What am I drinking??
This is a pretty rare beer, as it's normally only available on draft, and not widely distributed. It's the Prince Charles Wee Heavy Scotch Ale from Santiam Brewing (Salem, OR). Clocking in at 9.2% and 25 IBU, this is the PERFECT beer to just sit down, read your favorite book, and enjoy for two hours. It's sweet, but not syrupy. Almost reminds me of a really good brandy in how you want to drink it. HIGHLY recommended.
