    While noble in intent, I'm sure this would start venturing into gambling territory which I'm sure means applying for some sort of special license. Combined with alcohol, I'm sure the regulations would be a nightmare to try and figure out if this could even be pulled off.

    Yep. Search for New York City Marathon Lottery and you'll see what happens. Class action lawsuit. Millions in settlements. Increased prices.

    You would also think that in the 21st century there would be an online ticketing company that is set-up to host a raffle like this without running afoul of regulations.

    Money Talks! $5 * 500 people isn't anything to shoot Harambe over.

    I still haven't been able to get to any of the big TG stout releases, but if someone is willing to fly in from Germany for a release they deserve the beer.

    I'm in the Des Moines area right now, but heading out in the next hour. Any chance any shops have IGN? Or are there any other local brews that aren't available in MN I should grab before heading out?

    Places along 35W north work as well

    Just checked the one on east 3rd and they said they were sold out. Is there another or am I just SOL?

    Unfortunately, I had to take off from Des Moines. If there's any shops along the 35W North corridor that would have IGN someone shoot me a message. Been dying to try some of that.

    Had a bomber of Zeelander this week. I know it's a different hop, but how different is it from Pompeii, really? Still too pricey. Can't wait for Pompeii cans.

    Nelson (Zeelander) versus Mosaic (Pompeii) hops. Both dank and delicious, but definitely different. I prefer Nelson by a nose when done right. It helps to to try them a variety of times as they definitely vary between breweries, and even batch to batch.

    I just had a bomber of Zeelander last night, and the nose on it was very impressive. Also looked great in my glass, very hazy.
