    This is good.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    It’s been a while since I’ve had Nut Cracker.  Not since I lived in Lawrence, KS.

    I think it's a pretty solid Winter Ale. I really miss drinking Sleighr from Ninkasi---that is an amazing Winter Ale.

    Won the Prop Day allotment that they do for Chicago area only.  Included 2 bottles of prop and a couple of the variants.  Cracked the Brand Fourteen stout last night and it was fantastic....apparently it's a close remake of Prop 14.  Also won a raffle at the main liquor store chain in Chicago area that includes 2 originals and 1 of each variant that I can pick up on Friday.  Love that there is a focus on the barrels this year instead of loading up the stouts with adjuncts...

    Nice finds! My local store should have all the variants allowed in NY except one (I wasn’t told which one) so I’m excited for Friday.

    Think I'm going to schedule a winter Tree House run.

    Very Green is probably my personal fave.

    For any Bearded Iris fans, it is confirmed that they’ll be distributing to the Chicagoland area in the near future. I’m in Nashville and went to pick up some stuff today and they confirmed. Definitely exciting.

    A co-worker of mine doesn't live to far (an hour or so) and we just started doing beer swaps...their beers are fantastic. He's grabbing me some more next week.

    That's awesome. No offense or anything but I think he's getting the short end of the stick on this swap lol.

    I know there's a lot of hype around them and all but I admit I completely buy into it. Never have I had an IPA or multiple DIPAs for that matter from them that didn't taste overly boozy. Imo better than Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, Trillium, etc etc. It's too easy to drink nearly a case of their DIPAs it's dangerous. So so sooo good.

    Looking forward to getting up to their Cape Cod spot in better weather.

    You're probably right! No offense taken at all! Ha!

    He's enjoying trying some KC beers that he's never had & we have some great breweries here.

    This one is good, but they’ve put out better Props. Glad this year has more straightforward barrels and less adjuncts. Working through stuff from 2017-2020 and will let this years sit.

    Nice (and pricey) haul! 

    I got everything but Prop, since I’m in NY.
