    That sucks, @xICooRsYIx has a bottle of that from the Horizontalhood box he should crack open and get back to us about. I had it when the bottles first came out but that was a while ago I believe.

    I can add you to my list of people who I plan to "ninja" at some point with Trillium, although I think you'll be 4th. They've seemed to be in a bit of a lull lately compared to pre-EBF when they had like 10 bottles available; now there are only about 3 at a time for the most part.

    You have the @Kramerbarthomer - Trillium pipeline running to your state; just tap that.

    My first Trillium came via that pipeline.

    Anyone taking the trip to Maine for the Dinner release? I would be interested if anyone had some to share.

    Yeah but if I want them to be #lehighfresh that makes it tough. It hasn't necessarily been 3 IPAs either, sometimes it's like a stout, an IPA, and a belgian or something.

    If the current 3 IPAs + mosaic fort point make it to this weekend I might make a trip. Hoping to get to JA for Framinghammers too.

    Is there a general guideline on being #Lehighfresh? I mean, I know Pliny starts falling off 2 hours after being racked to secondary, but what's the consensus on what's good to send without being #Hopshamed?

    Twist: Vanilla Maple IPA's are actually the world's greatest style, you just never see them because you need a time machine to consume them before they become drain pours!

    This, my friend, is complicated science - almost to the point of alchemy.

    However, let me try to illustrate it from a universally applicable formula of a #LeHighFreshnessFactor to all xPAs.
    Here is the science along with some examples...

    After 15 days, the formula degrades - that's the boundary of the known #LeHighFresh universe. After which point, you are on your own. Your xPA may be fresh, or may be... danger.

    its been awesome with @edhizdeid - and honestly, I prefer these blind boxes over dealing with trades!

    I enjoy blind boxes too, all my trades since joining the locals have been blind, except for one or two beers. Basically, just fill up a box and send it. I've been happy and I think and hope my trade partners have been happy as well.

    I'm not sure if any of you watch Silicon Valley but this reminds me of the "dick joke". If you haven't seen it there is a link at the bottom of the link and it's definitely worth watching. http://uproxx.com/tv/2014/06/the-si...atest-dick-joke-in-the-history-of-television/
