    Just put in an order for a 4 pack of Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA when it comes in around late Feb. Talked to the owner of my local liquor store and he said even if he can't get it on order he is in good with the distributor that can put one aside.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    Very much enjoyed it the first time. Might have the other tonight for the game if I can feel any better. Feeling like crap + super bowl sunday = maybe no craft beer for me tonight.

    A coworker just came in and gave me:

    2 Bell's Hopslam
    A Innis & Gunn Irish Cask
    A Founders Backwoods Bastard

    I'm very happy and wish it was not 8am in the morning and I was not at work!

    My drinking partner called me up yesterday and said he had picked us up a treat or two for last night and that I needed to drop by last night. Real funny guy he is...he enjoys getting anything and everything he sees that we haven't had....so last night we had a 32oz bottle of King Cobra malt liquor to split :lol:
    Of course it was FAAAAAAR from a fine craft brew but it was surprisingly smooth and nice tasting...I wouldn't recommend drinking more than two of those bottles though or you'd probably wake up in a roadside ditch

    I'm almost a week in on my first shot at homebrewing - an Irish Stout. The positive is that I somehow got the wife so into it that she agreed to let me build a 3-tap kegerator to finish off the basement! We'll see if it happens.

    how big of a batch?

    i'm gonna go visit the local brew store...i want to build something like a 5 gallon brew house in the shed.

    only problem...that's way more beer than i would ever need. :lol:

    Well I also was getting a bit of something weird in the aftertasste to start but it lessened to me as I continued drinking. I've still got two in the fridge...I may have to finish them off tonight

    Can any one tell me the street value of Hopslam? A sixer is on ebay for $26.99 +$22 shipping. It's not available in NJ :cry:
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I got a call from Total Wine letting me know my six pack of Hopslam is ready to be picked up. Last year it was $20 for a six pack so I assume it will be around the same price this year.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Thanks. It 's available in PA but don't even get me started about the archaic liquor laws in PA.
