    Yeah I can't wait either. @EA728 and some of us here are having a Bourbon County and rare bottle share that we've all been working on for a few months now. I had to work today, but some of them got to go try Vanilla Rye at a bar in town and said it was amazing. Should be fun to compare the Rye and original.

    I definitely don't feel worthy when I say that the AB Panther and KBBS were both extras. The generosity here can be ridiculous.

    Thanks for the tip. I will look into Dark Matter while I am in Chicago. Have you ever used an Aeropress? It may be my next purchase.

    WOW. I should look into flights to Texas. I really don't have any highly sought after beers to bring to the "bottle share" other than KRE but I am in the process of sending that to about half of the group. I would bring some growlers from Witches Hat, whatever OddSide and Shorts currently have out and the Bells Expedition stout from 2011 I have. Speaking of bottle shares, I am going to have one with a few friends who love beer but only get to try out of distribution beers when I get everyone together. Almost every beer I plan on opening for the share I have gotten from this group.

    Oooooooo Rare and Bramble are the two BCBS variants I haven't had a chance to try yet.... ISO!


    edit: I was about to make a joke "FT: 2011 Bigfoot" which you asked me to hold for you, but then I got worried you'd actually do it and I wouldn't be able to say 'no' :rolling_eyes:

    I suppose there is one plus to living in Co than TX, that is when your beer arrives its already chilled. Almost 70 here yesterday and I was wanting to crack open something from your box. Tonight.

    They actually put real graham crackers in the mash! I was at an event and was talking to the guy who had the job or breaking up all the graham crackers and throwing them in the mash. He said he was at it for 8 hours, couple thousand crackers in total. Though, I think this batch I sent you has more marshmallow than graham cracker. Anyway, glad you are happy with the box :slight_smile: (and your wife will love that rootbeer, @cultclassic89 can attest to that.)

    From my collection, I'd bring my '13 and '14 Prop, but since others have already talked about that, I'd probably bring my BA Pipeworks stuff, BA Jones Dog, BA Murderous, Over the Line, and As You Wish, that are all pretty great BA beers that I'm sure most of the group has never had or heard of.

    In that case I'll expand the vertical as long as I'm reminded what exactly was in it :slight_smile: Might as well make it a horizontal too and I'll bring Breakfast and KBS too. Anyone have CBS? :wink:
