    Was asking MCMasterSanchez so I could get him a Sexual Chocolate that's the same year as the BASC he just picked up.

    In general they release Sexual Chocolate right before Valentine's Day (which is why I have 2018 already) and then BASC is released in August or September. Except 2016 they released BASC in May and now every time I have trouble remember which year they did that with. 2018 should be back to the normal schedule. I think they hinted (or maybe straight-out said) that the Dead and Berried variant they've done a couple times will be bottles this year. But if it means having to get in line at 2am then I'm out :slight_smile: The three associated bottle shares are fun and all (night before in the brewpub, overnight in the parking lot, morning of release in the brewpub), but I mostly just show up an hour or two after the release has started these days.

    Received my Summer Sixer box from @Dave_Treat today. Seems he follows rules like I do. I'll start with the extras first.

    And now on to the sixer of unmarked bottles guess I get to chose which day I drink them.

    Who you calling FNG? I was in the Summer Sixer last year too :rolling_eyes:

    Believe it or not, I might actually have a couple of those lurking around. I know I have some Todd The Axe Man and Hopslam...

    All jokes aside, I had actually made that post about 1hr after placing a Schramm's order :joy: I just find it hard to dish out that kind of money for something that I can only enjoy a few ounces at any given time.

    Enjoy!

    Its not even 10 minutes outside of Kohler, how the hell can you not fit that into a schedule?

    Not too many fresh hops at the moment that I'd feel comfortable sending to the East coast.

    You should look up Larsen Meadworks.....it’s local to me and makes what I think are fantastic meads. They are not the sweet sugar bombs like many of the others...I think they are a nuanced take on mead with subtle flavors of hops and other things.

    The owner Nathan is a former cop and bartender and some of his stuff has the flavors of a mixed drink.

    It’s sort a look.

    Orchid cellars is the best for non fruit bombs, but they are still sweet

    Cheers bud, I was happy to hit a recent want, with an extra. I hope the six days are worthwhile too!

    Sorry, like my sixth grade crush, your handy didn't last long :slight_smile:

    JK, glad to have you again. Like my sixth grade crush.
