Made a quick trip to JK for BdBdB but Spon Flor stole the show. That may have been my favorite beer of theirs so far. Definitely top 5. I need to trade for a couple more bottles.

They had it when I was there recently as well, but were out of bottles to go IIRC. Tried it as well, and it was spectacular. Agreed on the Top 5 for JK.
Have you gotten to try this Blanc-du-Bois batch yet?

I don't see it either, but have been told that several times. Guess it's the British accent.
A lot of stuff happening in this beer.
I tried it too but unfortunately it paired in comparison to Flor. It was solid just like last year but my tasting of it wasn't fair since I was drinking them side by side.
Finally opened a crowler of Brash Black Masses. These guys are knocking it out of the park with their stouts.

Ended up buying these secondary market to keep my vertical going. It cost $80 but I figured I would've spent that much on beers to trade and shipping anyways.

My first time
Picked up a six pack of Lagunitas High Westified at the West Alabama HEB this afternoon. It looked like they had one more case on the floor underneath one of the wine displays for anyone looking for some.
NIce Star Wars stuff
Maybe I'll wear my Chewbacca onesie to the Assassin/KBBS release.
I love that beer.

Those are my kids toys. I keep mine on my nightstand with my lightsaber nightlight, Leia doll, and Billy Dee Williams signed Lando pic.
Oh, and we totally nerded out with our view at the Chili Peppers show. You could smell Flea's ball sweat. It was awesome.
I have the bathrobe version.
One can never go wrong with Billy D.
Had a few beers with Hudson out at ABW today... Chatted it up with some of the bartenders as well. 1st off... They have no idea when the new taproom will open. Basically tried to do their own thing and not follow some of the permits (seems like an ABW thing to do). Gonna be sweet when it does open up.
If you can find their new Collab with New Belgium (Double Unicycle)... Buy it. Really impressed with it (don't typically like collabs). Will probably only see Austin distro with 600 cases. A new batch of Bloodwork should be out soon as well.

I've still got a number of data issues to fix up that are causing some areas to be underrepresented and I also want to move to a more flexible visualization tool (chose this for quick and dirty), but here is a map of the country showing # of breweries per 100k residents per county. I filtered out counties with less than 50k people, these show as gray. The scale should go higher but this is maxing me out on the number of possible bins for whatever reason. There are actually 48 counties with > 5 breweries per 100,000 people. Top counties:
Deschutes County, OR: 15.4
La Plata County, CO: 12.8
Boulder County, CO: 12.2
Watauga County, NC: 11.3
Larimer County, CO: 10.5
Deschutes County, OR: 15.4
La Plata County, CO: 12.8
Boulder County, CO: 12.2
Watauga County, NC: 11.3
Larimer County, CO: 10.5
I'm also showing San Diego County, CA has 115 breweries, which is pretty insane. This is roughly the same as the top 9 counties in Texas combined (those 9 counties have a total population 4x San Diego County).
What's everyone's favorite seasonal? I look forward to Unknown's Hospitali-Tea.
These are all empty. How long did this take? Bottle share?

SN Narwahl. Didn't see any this year though
Just a reminder to the other guys going to Toppling Goliath...
You need TWO valid forms of ID.
And your $200 must be CASH.

Been saving up '10-'15 vertical plus 2015 Cognac version. Waiting for our homebrew clone to finish up (brewed in August, oaked 3 weeks with Woodford, now just keg conditioning...) plus the 2016 versions to complete the epic Flight Night

What's considered a second form of ID besides your DL? My passport is expired and has my old address. I emailed TG and they said anything a bank would accept. I'm still not sure what that means.
paystub works. bring the passport just in case.
Should still be acceptable. My passport has an old address and Canada didn't turn me away last year.
Edit... just realized my passport doesn't have an address, haha.
And if it's expired, I'd bring something else.

Where do you live? I have extra 08 and 09.
I still can't believe how many people on this thread got selected for the TG deal. Did the news of the lotto just not get out? Who was the one who originally brought it to this thread?
Lol, yeah, pretty wild. I have a friend in Austin who got selected as well and will be up there too.
I have printed out my most recent pay stub to take with me. I'll bring my work ID badge as well.
I brought it up on page 1064, and of course I did not winChipotlemonger said:
