    Black Tuesday is a relatively easy one to land... lots of people get bottles with trading in mind. Too damned sweet for me though, blech!

    The only bad thing is that literally nothing from Texas can trade $4$ (until some Texas brewery comes out with a $35 750mL bottle), so you've gotta either trade out of market or find someone that really wants a specific local. I could see 2 x Funk Metal landing one EASY.

    You've combined stories--I was talking about Rocky Mountain Oyster Stouts; Brad was talking about massive truck balls. Either way, balls.

    Man, I've offered up 2 WBDPP's before for 1 and never even had a bite. But I could see where 2 Funk Metals might attract more attention. I'm sitting on 6 WBDPP that are mostly intended for trades.

    Man been traveling all weekend. Thank you so very much for the generous hospitality Jeff, it was very much appreciated. I hope everyone else had a great time with good brews and cool peeps. I definitely enjoyed meeting the entire lot of you wonderful people.

    More importantly however, thanks Jeff for that awesome pic with me man!

    Sidenotes:
    Brad is freaking crazy man, funny guy.
    MrkMrk guy is a freaking tower that says random comments (This man of a beat corked his own Expresso IRS by hand)
    Alex, you are a class act man, good guy man.

    Thanks everyone!

    Back to work for me

    Ananke and Raspberry Ananke are some of the most sought after I've found, but they're cheap (totally not complaining because they're both world class to me).

    Anyways, Austinites and fellow Texans, you up for a round 2? I'm in the process of making loose plans to attend Jester King again on June 15th. We could have another bottle share, but this time I'd say keep it to a 2 bottle per person max so we can fully appreciate each and every beer. If anyone is interested, I'll see what time I can arrive, and create a new google spreadsheet

    Hmm, I could come as long as its at 11am. Can't stay forever though, as I need to work at 11pm that night.

    I'd make sure to contact Jeff and make sure it's okay though, if you haven't already. That's a pretty quick turnaround. Sundays are generally better for me.

    Why not show up at our July monthly tasting? Not sure how many showed up this weekend, but it's quite a fun crew.

    Not sure I'd be able to make it again so soon. It's possible, but not likely. If you picked a July date now I'd be there for sure.

    My wife and I are going to do the tour for the first time on June 15th but would be down to show up early for a bottle share. I don't have anything that exciting to share with everyone when looking at pictures of what was brought this past weekend.

    Never be afraid. I remember the stuff I brought to the first couple of shares I went to.

    dude, how many pages ago was that?

    EDIT: Also, I want that pic we took with Jeff! I wonder how evident the fawning will be in our eyes.

    I know I keep saying it, but wait till I bring my aged, sun-kissed Pliny the Elder that was bottled in December 2012 to a bottle share. I'll pass it off as a current bottling, and you will all hate me. Clonies is actually pretty evil...

    Once the ruse is uncovered, blame the witch.
