    ^ Sure did! I pick mine up tomorrow. Excited to taste this year’s version.  I’m even more excited for the BCS variants.  The reserve and vanilla especially. Fun times!

    Heading east to Cleveland to visit Cuyahoga Falls. Any breweries in Cleveland/Akron that i need to go to most?

    Then, through Pittsburgh and down to Shenandoah in Virginia. Anything in the 'Burg or near Shenandoah that I need to visit?

    From there, it's south through the Charlotte, NC area to visit family and a day trip to Congaree. How about in that area? Any must visit breweries in Charlotte or Asheville? 

    Also would be interested in visiting and recommended Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives along this path.
    I owe you both beer and I have last years CBS that I will send over so you can both do a side by side.
    Sounds delightful! That is, of course, assuming I am able to remember what I thought of them the next morning.

    You are the man, Chris! That would be fun. I know some guys that age them and do multi-year “verticals.” They say it does get better with age. Just grabbed this year’s release this morning.

    Got mine this morning!  I was reading that this year's is better than last year's.  Will prob wait a few weeks to drink it...

    Just wish they did 4 packs. 25 oz bombers for the same price as a 4 pack (48 oz) is ridiculous to me. Oh well.

    Yeah, it would be nice to drink 12oz at a time.  Drinking 25oz of that on your own is tough!  Usually end up sharing these big bombers...

    I've got a few releases from a few locals lined up for you two Anthony and Malroth.

    I need to pack them up and send them already.  Sorry I have been lazy and busy.

    ^No worries Chris

    Picked up a couple CBS this morning. Still have KBS from 16, 17 and 18 ready for side by side taste tests. But at this point, I feel I should wait a few months to add the 19 KBS in there as well.

    . Yes. It's been around for over a 150 years and is still family owned. They make an annual strong ale with what they consider to the best ingredients of the year. It's supposed to age very well but it never lasts long enough in my house. It's rich and malty, and quit boozy for an ale at 8.5
