    Alright, here's the haul from @wilymobastardo:



    Societe The Pup IPA crowler
    Beachwood Melrose IPA (I have a deep love of Beachwood - so amped)
    Wild Barrel Brewing Prince of Dankness
    Russian River Blind Pig (an always want and an always favorite)
    Russian River Beatification (seriously...permawant and hot damn do I love this thing)
    Alesmith Barrel Aged Old Numbskull (Have to live that life)
    Mikkeller/Root + Branch Revival Tactics (an oated lager)
    Pizza Port Fish IPA
    Pure Project Brewing Rain (unfiltered pilsner)
    Burning Beard Normcore (Czech pils)
    Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out by Josh Noel

    When your wants are non hazy-juicy IPAs and lagers you get some interesting stuff. @wilymobastardo not only gave me some sweet new reading material, he also hit me with a ton of stuff I've never even heard of. Lagers are love and then we get some true west coast hop gems. Many many thanks.

    Here's a bonus shot of one of those crowlers in action:



    Everyone should have a 1L mug for drinking lager. It's the only way to go.

    Good work @wilymobastardo . Read the reviews of that book and it sounds interesting. I am not one of those who won’t drink BCBS because of in bev. It is a great stout and is easier to get now than before

    Let me know how those crowlers hold up. I've never shipped one cross-country before, and I know Societe advised drinking The Pupil within 48 hours (but I couldn't not send one of San Diego's iconic WCIPA's).

    The style preferences made that box fun to put together. I had a good time hitting up all my favorite lager-producers.

    I really enjoyed that book; very well-researched and the author didn't have an ax to grind.

    Ha I was actually going to pick up a couple four packs this morning, but couldn't get anything before noon. Was whitewater rafting with some students from my college, so the couple beers I had were from the saloon at the campsite.

    Also, this Idle Hands Four Seam from @Goblinmunkey7 is sure hitting the spot after a ten hour drive. Picture didn't turn out, so hoping to add the next beer to NBS.

    Well, I take the trip every fall, so if we are all still looking next year at this time, I'll figure out a way to sneak off the campsite before Sunday morning.

    Isn't there a badge on UT that tracks that? I'm not really keeping track of states, but I am trying to collect a bottle cap from each state for the wall hanging my sister got me a few years back. The Jester King that @rspauldi sent me is going to be a nice addition since I don't have Texas yet.
