    Beer ****, curtosy of @JamesShoemaker. Even though I put in the wrong team, he hooked me up. One heck of a haul for a mini-BIF. Thanks so much.

    My pleasure. The Dark Horse for you and @hansenm72 came from a variety pack that I have yet to try. Let me know how they are!

    The Cascade... I could drink that one all day every day. Experiencing that variety pack taught me a lot about how different different hops are and how much I love Cascade.

    I believe the stro's just need a 4 spot tomorrow. Got there 3 yesterday, 2 this afternoon.

    Good to know. My buddy and I just landed the new Beer Camp twelve pack, so I guess it's going to be a week of variety packs.

    indeed... that 4 is the elusive one though @RayUF07 is in the same boat today.

    I've put down 4 of those so far and am underwhelmed... the reviews are pretty spot on. The thing I don't like about that whole promotion is what if I love one of the beers in there? (The Ballast Point one was pretty damn good) Now I can't get any more... what was the point? In retrospect, I wish I had my $24 back.

    Taking down the 12 pack this weekend with 2 or 3 friends. Was looking forward to it. This is not great news.

    Bummer. We are looking forward to it, but just as a let's try them for fun type of thing. I agree though. It does kind of stink that if you love one, you are out of luck in getting more of just that one

    please don't let my surly nature diminish your enjoyment... like I said, I've only made it through 4 of the beers cause crazy mofos like @JamesShoemaker and @Dave_Treat and @SePaMc keep killing me with awesome brews.

    The twelve pack is worth the $24, I liked the Double Shot from Ninkasi the most so far, have a few more left to try.

    Interesting, I thought the Ballast Point was the worst. My favorite was either the ESB (despite the fact that it was New Glarus :wink:) or the FW Pils.

    Underwhelmed, definitely, but still glad I got to try it.

    Scratch that, the Bell's was my least favorite. Something I've never before said...

    How could you even say that in public? You're going to get banished from MI.

    I've only started the adventure down the SN 12 pack road. Just had Myron's Walk yesterday... nothing wowing, but a pretty solid brew. I'm a firm believer in giving everything a go for yourself, so lukewarm reception isn't something that's going weigh on me that much. I like the concept and didn't have to buy a whole case, so we'll see where it goes. From a local standpoint, interested to see how the Victory altbier compares to what they offer at the brewpub...

    We're screwy here. When we talk about our beer, we always clarify whether we prefer Bell's or Founders. But you have to like Short's, it comes with the territory. You'd get recalled faster than Luke Scottwalker if you said you didn't like Huma.

    Okay fellas, I know I put my Upland ticket up for my Triple Play mini, but since I only have four more days to pick up my beer AND because an unassisted triple play hasn't occurred in like four years, I'm going to assume that no one will win in time.

    So, who wants my ticket? I'll send you a photocopy of my ID and you (or someone else) can pick up a bottle of Blackberry Lambic in Indianapolis. If no one responds by 8 am tomorrow, I'm putting the offer in the general ISO:FT board.

    And just so everyone's clear, the bottle costs $25 at the brewery.

    if you need a proxy, I recall someone offering their services to me recently... I'd have to dig through convos but I can probably find it if you are interested
