Tree House is amazing!!

 

For still being pretty new to the "game" this has been an amazing year. First off I indulged my self with a Sam Adams Utopias (thank you work for double time on Sundays). Then I had the fortune of a local bar getting Founders CBS during their KBS release party. Went in for the KBS obviously, asked the bartender about it and he replied "Well we have it but we have to get through this CBS stuff first". Neither the staff nor the regular patrons realized what they had so got to enjoy that for several days before it kicked.

Also scored bottles this year of:
KBS
All the Bourbon County variants except Prop
Pliny the Elder

And got to sample so many beers at Darkness Day during the bottle share. Abraxas, Huna, Black Gold, Zombie Dust, the generosity of the people camping out was amazing!
