    Oh, and one more question for anyone who has been to the Skull Session.

    I was planning on bringing a draw-string bag (Which is permitted in Ohio Stadium) along with us on our trek from the hotel to the stadium so we can grab a couple of bottles for the parking lot before the game. Will I be able to take that bag into the Skull Session?

    Muck Fichigan.

    Also, he's at wide receiver because he can't throw the ball anymore, he tore his shoulder twice throwing it.

    Also, I second/third/fourth/whatever the Hoof Hearted sentiment. One of the best breweries in Ohio at the moment.

    I had an awesome time MajorBuckeye, thanks for asking and thanks to you and everyone else for all of the recommendations; they built quite a stellar itinerary.

    Highlights of the trip:
    - Starting the weekend off by picking up our preorder of Hot Chicken Takeover, grabbing a table at Barrel and Bottle, and enjoying some ridiculously good chicken with an equally fantastic pour of Bodhi. This first stop was a near-perfect introduction to Columbus.
    - Our all-around experience at House Beer. Service was great and the bottles of White Rajah and Head Hunter were warmly received!
    - Walking up to Ohio Stadium and getting lost in all of the energy around the building. Not to mention seeing all positive interactions between the opposing fan bases. I'm an Eagles fan and while I love the gameday experience in Philly, I could certainly do without the constant unnecessary drunken confrontations.
    - Getting to our seats and just taking it all in. I haven't been to a college football game in a long time and it was shocking to see just how much bigger the scale is than an Eagles game. I guess the extra 40k fans makes a difference :-)
    - Brunch at Wolf's Ridge on Sunday. Really solid beer, food, and atmosphere.
    - And finishing the weekend off with a stop at the Hoof Hearted can release. The reputation is well earned and it seems like a fantastic way to spend the day. (Only slight disappointment was Konkey Dong kicking before we even got there at 12:30 and cans of Barely a Beginner running out in less than 50 minutes. A reasonable can limit might have been warranted.)

    Overall it was a blast and I look forward to coming back sooner rather than later!
