    :grimacing:

    That's my reaction of opening two ridiculous boxes containing ten new ticks and what new ticks.

    First up was the super secret LIF that I won from @devilfluff.

    Kane Sunday Brunch - so happy to get this since I missed the release. I'm going to put out aside and hopefully share with @NJB145 when he comes to NJ.
    Melange 1 - :grimacing:
    Hill farmstead Clara - :grimacing::grimacing:
    Funk citrus IPA - sounds right up my alley

    [​IMG]
    Big black voodoo daddy - had a few great things from voodoo so looking forward to this one
    Hardywood BB Grand Cru - BIFed the only one I ever had away
    Hardywood RVA IPA - again up my alley
    Pipeworks Closer Encounter - love pipeworks and love hoppy stouts
    Devils backbone Trail angel - new brewery tick
    Lickinghole chocolate decadence - :grimacing: sounds amazing

    Thanks so much Dave and Jesse, amazing boxes especially considering they are LIFs. You are on the list... Unfortunately with this group the lists only gets bigger.

    So I am too focused on the Mets to dig through the thread -- but who amongst us is going to make @Mipper 's share? And when is it?

    #VCS my daily Tree House fix with #properglassware thanks to @Littlelotte88, thanks again this box has been awesome!

    On a similar note, what other breweries do unfiltered IPA's/Pale Ales besides Tree House and Trillium? I need more in my life.

    I've had a couple of them, but haven't rung my bell like Tree House has. I think I had Hop Hands.

    Hop Hands is an APA.

    Not everything they do is a winner, but some of them are excellent.

    Tired Hands does TONS.
    This. The misses are always still somewhere north of serviceable, but the hits are home runs.

    They don't work that way, the vast majority of the beers they make are one-offs. Best to have someone near them (like yours truly) just pick the option(s) that best suit your taste while they're there trying everything.

    Nick and I will be meeting up with @blue-dream and @NickyPogs somewhere around @blue-dream 's work (where ever the hell in FIBlandia that is) around noon on Friday for a few and some lunch. I really don't want to hit traffic so we'll probably be leaving around 2-2:30.

    Hill Farmstead is generally pretty Haze-y too (pun intended). Those IPAs are super easy to get as well :rolling_eyes: Don't worry, I know I still owe you a Double Citra.

    Pretty sure new Jeremy, fake Jeremy or whatever we're calling him now :wink: will be there too, @Weissie

    Sounds like a great plan!

    Considering Apolo Ono recorded his personal record of 17:45, I'm deeply flattered! That said, with a time of 43:02, I'm not quite an Olympian just yet. @robgage Wins only because there was no PIR rules in effect. This should in no way be seen as bribery because he won rare day... Unless he's inclined to take it that way. In which case :rolling_eyes:

    My personal record, when I was more into straight cardio and less into overall fitness was 33 minutes. First person to visit Colorado and do it with me is going home with their pick of any 2 bottles from my cellar.

    The Opal Skeletons from Tired Hands was the bees knees. Sage IPA. Delicious.
