    La Fin Du Monde was my go to beer at Epcot and always a sake in Japan. Had season passes every year I was down there.

    Maybe not readily available, but definitely specific to brew gentlemen, I thought Nonstop Forever was fantastic.

    Edit: I mean, it was readily available until it was gone (unless it's still on - I don't keep up as well with their taplist as I maybe should).

    We did. The wife and I did after I did the Goofy (and she did the Full) Marathon. Saki flight at Japan is FTW! I will have to look and try to remember what beers / drinks I had from each place. We are going again in May, so should be fun. However, It was more fun just the two of us for a few days no kids haha.

    A lot of '13 bcbs stuff was sent to bottle shops in nyc along with the '14 bcbs stuff last year. Seems like this is something GI is doing. Not sure what their endgame is or if it's just a mistake though.

    I usually get beer in Canada Germany America everything is a dice shoot I hate vodka but the grey goose slush in France is great. China always have horrible selection. May is flower and garden festivel and they have a Florida craft beer both which is good

    why is barflybastard the only one who escapes the "boner" catchall?

    After his nice gesture I figured I would put a moratorium being mean to him, for at least a day.

    That would make sense. Their beer list sounds pretty interesting. Might have to try to stop there next time I'm driving across PA for some reason.

    When in May? We are going the first 9 days or so of May?

    The two times we have been there my wife must have had a ton of Grey Goose Slushies haha. One of my favorite places for beer is the Rose and Crown. Not that they have anything special, Just the atmosphere

    I like Rye Rebellion and Night of the Living Stout more than others. I would recommend those, if they have them.

    On another note, I will have to check out that bottle shop. I am in/driving through Chambersburg every so often.

    Yea it goes from April to May. Rose and crown is awesome they have Jonny walker blue labor pretty cheap there. Have u gone to raglan road they might have the best beer selection on property and good food.

    Heading to Pitt for thankgiving. Coming down from Boston. I'll mostly be in the Wexford/McCandless area but would appreciate recommendations of great local beers, beer bars, & bottle shops to look out for. Also any non-local brews that I can't get in NE.

    Also, my BIL mentioned some odd beer laws. Said something about you can't buy less than a case of the same beer or something? Basically, "make your own 6 pack" type places don't exist there. Any idea what he was rambling about?
