    Does this rash look infected?





    Also outside of orange everything else is hot fire. Dylan said so.

    Carefully, so they don't break.

    There was a brief moment today where I questioned whether the amount of money I spent today was reasonable. Then my wife cruised by this on our way home while I was in a fog of a sleep deprived state. After seeing that, I was quite pleased with how I spent my disposable income - reasonable or not.

    Gotta say, I’m at the Whirlyball event, and I’m left wondering if their tap lines are dirty.

    I really enjoyed every bcs pour I had at prop day. Some more than others, but here at the bar, I’m 2 for 2 with both Bramble and Vanilla tasting kinda weird, and also super artificial at the same time.

    They’re in cans now. Logistically, it’s much safer for the product.

    worked this morning and was too damn lazy to get up and stand in line. able to get a flight of BCBS well into the afternoon near my house. regular is as good as always, bramble is fantastic but a 5oz pour was more than enough SWEET SWEET SWEET, vanilla is delicious, prop is a hype. too much god damn chocolate for me. wheatwine was the sleeper hit and barley coffee was decent.

    im very happy with the fact i can grab a bottle or two of regular down the line.

    That is just 5 cases from one store, I usually buy 3 or 4 more cases from others. It has a shelf life of 6 months and comes out in January so I drink it until June. I am one of Bells biggest fans! Their double ipa's are great. The Oracle, Mars are my favorites after Hopslam.

    I gotta say I don't think you guys are drinking bramble warm enough. I was excited for this because it sounds amazing and I love rye, but scared to death after what happened last year with Northwoods and the let down affect it had on me. But this. This. It's like wine, it's like beer, it's like picking berries in the wild for a pie your grandma is gonna make, it's like your grandma making you a pb&j, it's like childhood (except for the alcohol), it's like... beautiful. So fresh, pure & natural. I must admit my love to you Bramble. Now I'll ramble on.

    Then I get a text from the bottle shop that saved a case of regular me asking why i didn't pick up the other variants they put aside for me......Didn't know they did but I will get them tomorrow! Looks like a drunken weekend!
