    Lots of new breweries to me and all new ticks except the Good People coffee stout. Can't say I've had many KY/TN beers but I'm excited for these! Thanks man!

    Sorry guys, just hanging out on slack. I too received a porch bomb from a local. I considered him one of our own though as I speed my first bif box to him. @smanson56 crushed my porch with a slew of ne hops. Pron to follow shortly. Thanks!

    Good to see everything made it safe. Homestyle has been quite popular around here lately. Try 35K before 70K if possible. Deux Rouges is a local favorite as well. I hope you enjoy those brews. Cheers!

    Glad you like them. The adroits ate from different barrels, same base, and very different. Enjoy!

    I have training from 12:30-7, so an 8pm toast/drink an anniversary beer would be awesome to jump in on. Also, for those not on Slack. We are doing a #solodomechallenge on Sunday of No Rules. If you have one, please jump in. You need to drink it in about 30 minutes or so. Can we shoot for 2pm?

    Looking pretty tasty, but onto the beer:

    [​IMG]

    Legion and Barrel-aged legion - Awesome, I got a BA legion in my round 3 box, but was saving it, excited to have another and try it side-by-side with the regular version.
    Urban funk house - new brewery to me, sounds delicious, love a nice brett beer
    Wood folk - wild ale, description sounds awesome, cant wait to try it
    Suspicious delicious - oak aged saison, right up my alley
    Petite and Apricot petite - Whoa, been seeing petite around and was dying to try it, didn't know apricot existed, but I'm hugely excited to try the pair.
    Gentleman's rye'd - Delicious sounding barrel aged porter

    Again, WOW! I'm really excited to try all these new beers from the collective brewing project, haven't had anything from them, and I've had my eye on them since I saw petite popping up. Thanks again!

    I go there every couple months, and they are now bottling more. I'll let you know next time I go up that way.
