    Oh I did receive an amazing box from @Damian74Shensky, He wanted to return fire, after I messed up his porch during our civil war. Ill post **** when I can, but it contains a beer I thought I would never try, and a nice mix of local stuff and HUGE wants. Thanks again @Damian74Shensky it all arrived safe, but family and work issues have me pinned down atm, but I promise to post the photos by wednesday.

    I have a friend going to NYC this week. Does anyone have any must stop breweries or craft beer bars he should stop at? I know Torst is supposed to be really good and they seem to get HF on tap but that's about all I know.

    I haven't been to Torst, but that's the first one I thought of. I also think Barcade sounds awesome (craft beer and old school video games), but I'm a nerd and can't vouch for the quality of the beer list. For breweries, I haven't gotten to any of these yet, but Other Half (in Brooklyn) and Single Cut (in Queens) are the ones I'm most interested in.

    You mean that foam running down Kevin's man sweater into his belly button didn't do anything for you? Maybe play it back in slow motion with Nick's belching serenade?

    Awesome try, and I hope all the rest of that crowler didn't go to waste. I wouldn't have done any better -- I think both experience at shotgunning and body mass help a little here...

    Other Half, transmitter for breweries. Nothing is in Manhattan so he needs to be willing to travel for breweries.

    Blind tiger, rattle n hum, pony bar , and yes torst but again torst is out of Manhattan.

    Stores: top hops, good beer, most whole foods, beer culture (all Manhattan)

    Probably not a good time to find out this was your first ever attempt at shotgunning a beer, I'm sure #teamyes would have been much smaller if we had that info before hand. Also, the me of 12 or so years ago would have laughed at this attempt and called you a *****. As for me now I appreciate your effort, what you lack in shotgunning skills you more than make up for with balls and bravado.

    Yes I scratched that on there, didn't want him getting confused and shotgunning 32 oz of Smurphs Blood, that would be heartburn city.

    @vitaminvert - great effort bro, but we need to work on your technique lol..... I guess college football tailgates aren't a thing in Colorado because that's where I did 99% of shotgunning/funneling. I challenge anyone in here to a fastest funnel competition (although I'm not sure being the best at that is something to be proud of)

    @vitaminvert Hold on to that challenge bottle for the moment, I'll confer with the other BA's who helped fund this endeavor and decide what to do next.

    I refuse to purchase a funnel as an adult, but next time I happen across one I'll gladly post a funnel challenge.


    edit: but it damn sure won't be 32oz of beer at once
