    I really enjoyed that beer. I couldn't drink it all the time but it's a nice one to have here and there

    Crap--I should know by now that a day isn't going to by with no posts and that if it looks like it did it means I lost alerts again.
    I met up with @MMBrew yesterday at Forest and Main and enjoyed a couple of beers and a beautiful afternoon on the porch. Unfortunately that maent I couldn't make it down to Tired Hands to say hi to @CTJman . I hope both of you enjoyed checking out a couple of my local favorites.

    That's what I heard. All the HK beers kind of suck and all the imported IPAs had that old sweet hop taste to them.

    But you had some Tsing Tao at least, right?

    Clearly the people of Hong Kong don't understand value when they see it

    Any MO or Midwest people want to setup a quick swap of BA Abraxas and Fuzzy for Assassin and NG Peach? Would love to try both for the tasting this coming weekend, totally willing to make up $4$ or what have you.

    I might be able to do a goandpickitupformebro, I would do a swap but got lots of open stuff right now. I know a place that has a bunch still.

    Well that would be my first time doing that type of thing but it certainly isn't a problem if you have too much going on. If interested just BM me and we can talk and I can make sure I make it worth your while!

    I really like it. It might have been a touch too hot and I would rather have had 8oz but all in all a really nice beer.

    Not the typical picture that gets all the ooohs and ahhhs here, but I'm pretty happy with my days work.
    4 hours, 200 miles and bought beer in 4 states.
    The Kona and the Maui are obviously for next weekend's party to celebrate of the anniversary of Hawaii becoming a state.
    Other stuff I found is for me and a few things not pictured are possibilities for BiaBII.
