New store just opened up around the corner from my house. Walked in there the other night and first display was Bells Oberon. Then I spotted 3 Floyds. Decent selection for a new store, guy behind the counter said they were working to build up their selection with the distributers. Added them on FB as they post deliveries there.

Walking distance from my house, shit, barefoot walking distance!!! I told the guy that he and I will become bfff this summer, I'm so excited!!!

Congrats on your new relationship.

Anybody around here heading up to 3 floyds for darklord day this weekend? I'm going solo this year I'll have a PJ backback full of goodies while im in line. I have Group B tickets so I'm planning on getting there early and hopefully make it in the brewpub before my bottle allotment pickup. If anybody wants to hang out and share some brews let me know.

Like a dumbass, I never thought to check here to see if anybody else was going. I had Group E. Got there at 9:30, left at 9, long ass day. Great time though. So many good people sharing beers. Got to try Heady Topper for the first time, and one guy cracked open his brand new Bourbon Vanilla Dark Lord to share. Unreal stuff. I thought the guest drafts were great. I had some out of market IPAs and DIPAs to share as well as some KBS. First time at Dark Lord Day for me. I'd recommend it for anybody. I was walking around in my Ames Bros Blaylock 20 tshirt so I would have been easy to spot. As many folks as I talked to, I didn't run into anybody that recognized my shirt.

Be sure to hit up Crux if you haven't had their stuff yet. They came out making great beer right away. I've been a little disappointed in Worthy as their beer hasn't matched how gung-ho they went with facilities and marketing. It's not bad, just average. It'll probably get better over time.

Went to Three Floyd's yesterday...wow! There were four of us and between us we ordered everything they had on tap. When we first sat down the server recommended Blot Out The Sun because it was about to run out. It was a Russian Imperial Stout 10%ABV and 97 IBU. It ws the miost incredible stout I've ever had. Even though it was bitter it started out sweet. Incredibly flavorful. I would make the drive again solely for that beer.

The place is amazing. The food is incredible and they play metal and hardcore inside. I highly recommend checking it out!
