Nice

Had a cigar city collaboration (can't remember with who) tropical triple tonight and a bunch of ****ty COS breweries barrel aged attempted beers. The tripel was pretty decent. Oh yeah and Ska's mandarin Modus which was pretty good as well.

This is good.

Tusker is the best beer made. Hard to find here in the states.

Sorry, I have been out for Lent and then in Tanzania for the past three weeks, but if we are talking about the same Tusker beer that I had in Tanzania then you sir are either stoking a fire or just plain wrong....had that beer and the only thing it was good for was the bottle cap that I was able to add to my collection, which took me three attempts As they kept stealing the bottle cap from me at the bar

My wife does HR as well. What is the name of the conference?

It's called the Jobvite Summit. Jobvite is the applicant tracking system that we use at our company.

Ok fellow "LSU bottler sharers"... I've way overbooked myself Saturday. Totally forgot that Final Review is Saturday morning and I'll need to attend that since my brother is a Senior. Also, didn't realize that I've got a ton of family that'll be in CS on Saturday as well. So, best case I can get out to the share around 11:30. Also, aggiejz, I won't be able to host since none of my family will be going to the game/tailgating.

With all that being said, I'd still like to come and hang out with you guys. Any chance ya'll would want to push the share back a bit and head up to the game a little late? I doubt I'll even go up there since I am incredibly bad luck this year. Don't feel like you need to cater to me, though. Like Ron Burgundy once said "Just tossing it out there... If you don't like it you can go ahead and throw it right back".

No problem, sir. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to pushing it back a bit. Sure would be nice if Aggie Alley was still a thing and we could just do the share out in LF and watch the game.. But alas.

Another option could be doing it after the game instead of before? Or maybe doing some before and some after? I'm up for whatever. Y'all let me know what you're thinkin.

I can walk to Olsen from my apartment in about five minutes, so just about anything works for me.

Damn...was off TA for Lent...am I too late?

Kroger by the house had an asston of DR, picked some up for the hell of it

On a trip to Kentucky last week, we stumbled across a store that had several cases of BCBS Barleywine. I didn't have room to bring back more than a 4-pack, but we enjoyed it while we were there.

you can pick up a Tusker at DisneyWorld at the Animal Kingdom park....and figure it is quite unremarkable.

This is actually pretty nice

Not a problem. I'll see what I can grab on our way out on Friday. I've seen Two Hearted and Oberon. What's your email? I'll let you know Friday if I was able to get anything.

Also snagged some cigar city Jai Alai and Tallgrass brewing Ethos IPA. That Jai alai is awesome.

Man I walked into my beer store and saw a chick coming out the bomber room with two 12oz Avery beers.. I got all giddy. It was the Rufus Corvus barrel aged sour.

I walk in bomber room and see the spot on the shelf with the tag and 'limit 2 per customer'.. All gone

But they still had a RR consecration left from the weekend shipment, so I'm not quite as sad as I could have been.

DEBC dream crusher. Delicious.

Ahh, but surely not as fresh as in the country in.which it is made...have to have it in Tanzania to appreciate the full mediocrity of the beer...amd the four other beers made in that country

Ok... any way we can get things started around 11 or so on Saturday for the bottle share? I'd be fine with getting things started after the game (3 ish) as well. I figure those that want to go to the game can head up whenever and those that don't can stay down at the share (if we do start at 11)... I'd even be down for heading up around the 7th (if they still let you slide in without a ticket after a certain point like the good 'ol days).

My guess is I can show up around 11:30. Really hoping final review doesn't go past 2 hours... aggiejz, shoot me an email sometime. I can probably help out with tailgating/bottle share supplies.

Oh... and how about I bring a 12-14 (512) Double Pecan Porter Vertical for messing everything up?

There is a texags radio chat crawfish boil going on before/during the game. I would be all for pushing back the start to noon. Or a little later.

Still hoping the Rufus makes its way down here

It's been a long day so I'll shoot you an email tomorrow jah. We'll iron out all the details soon.

I'm cool with starting later too. Around 11 and/or after the game works for me.

Forgot to add:
I walked by some of these:



So of course I bought some. They come in pairs of course.

No, that's not a potato in the pic!

I'm okay with 11 for the share. First pitch is 12:05, so that gives us an hour or so to take down some beers. And then we can definitely come back after the game and crack open anything we don't finish in that hour. If you'd asked me 2 weeks ago, I might've said I'm okay with going to the game late but we're suddenly back to the point where this is a huge series.

I'll re-post the spreadsheet link when we get to a new page.

Wynkoop had that on tap when I was there last year. I passed.
