    Those "synced up" days seem to coincide with the release of "limited release" or "seasonal" beers. Abrasive from Surly immediately comes to mind - it seems like there's a flurry of posts in WBAYDN, then a lull, then another flurry after the Abrasive packages arrive at nearby targets, another lull, then another flurry when the farther flung targets receive their boxes.

    You know, kinda like suburb rings.

    Jesus, I hope, for the sake of all humanity, that there is not another "Me" out there somewhere.

    @superspak comes to mind for me, too. In addition to liking a lot of the same beer, Spak posts a lot of the same music I do, some of which I'm not sure I've ever seen from other BAs.

    "Twin?" Not possible. I'm too good looking. But there are quite a few that I feel have similar taste ( @joe1510 , @WesMantooth , @LeperJim , @tasterschoice62 ), and more importantly a ton of you BA's that I'd gladly open up the Biergarage for, and consume every last drop together. Cheers!

    I like to think we all have a psychic connection, but logic works too.:wink:

    If anyone on BA is my "beertwin" i"d say it's @Brutaltruth

    We've reviewed a lot of the same brews independently of each other, and have similar enough reviews for the most part. One of these days I would like to meet him, but for now talking on BA with him works for me! :slight_smile::grinning:

    :grinning:
    You're another one that I wonder if we're first or second cousins - seems like a lotta similar beers. I think we both have excellent taste. :grinning:

    And you are absolutely correct - my beer fridge is always open for any of you. Just make sure to give Ranger a cookie.

    I do agree, your avatar came to mind when I saw this thread. Insomnium for life amirite :wink:

    Aside from that, pretty much every single Michigander around here. Too many to name. I drink like 80% Michigan beer aside from reviews, so they know who they all are. We drink the same beers all year as Short's and MANY others release their usual quota of seasonals lol.

    In terms of what we usually drink and our proximity in where we live I gotta say @Greywulfken and @beerloserLI.

    In terms of who my actual twin would be it's @joe1510. For the love of God, I pray we never actually meet.

    I'm way handsomer. Better sense of humor too.

    We would paint the town red!

    I just hope we have someone around to bail us out at the time of night we'd end up in jail. It'd be a hell of a night either way.

    Somebody's gotta pay them though, haha. Do they take "in advance" payments?

    *raises hand*

    I laugh when I go to review a beer and one of you guys have gotten to it a day or two before. Happens often. Of course, 'spak takes you on an epic voyage through every nuance of aroma and flavor, where mine ends up "Burps were pretty wicked ."

    I'd have to call out @Zaphog and @beergorilla. If I'm not drinking what they are, I'm wishing I was.

    Hmmm... purely on local reviews, I'd go with @Boone757 - whose avatar I note as being someone who added the new beer I just had or is the only other rating of the beer I recently added. So maybe we're each other's shadows more than twins.

    Edit: though given his volume of ratings, I might be a mere shadow, perhaps.

    I'll gladly give Ranger a cookie to raid someone else's fridge. Hell, I might bake him his very own special batch :wink::grinning:!

    I'll give you handsomer, but only because I wanted to say that word too. It's fun! Handsomer.

    Why the hell would you paint the town? Sounds like a lot of work. Maybe a curb or two to confuse people where to park their cars, but the whole town? Meh, I'm in.
