    I locked eyes with the Maplewood guys as I poured both out.

    @Quilentro has come around and agrees: MoRE Toasted Marshmallow and Maplewood Coconut are best in show. He can’t decide between the two.

    Correct. Best in showing the degradation of society and beer. Sugar water garbage for garbage people.

    Just imagine how good "HAZY" would look on the back of a pair of sweatpants.

    Great time today. Awesome to see Corridor win Best in Show, as well as Cruz Blanca for Brewer’s Choice.

    If @Quilentro hadn’t been tripping off some bad oysters, maybe he would’ve agreed on the More and Maplewood beers.

    For those who care...I made it inside my apartment.

    We know @Quilentro doesn't care. He was too busy trying to steal cans of Cosmic Juicebox and telling the Corridor brewers to talk shit about Roger and Maplewood....and then staring down the Maplewood folks as he dumped out their beers.

    True baller move is to pour it out without even tasting it.

    For what it's worth, the past two years it looks like I purchased tickets in the last week of April, and the tournament was held the third Sunday of May. Can't wait for this event again.

    I can’t organize a real sentence so have this instead:

    Goose Clybourn’s Electric Latte is a nice 3.5% abv sweet coffee stout (with chocolate).

    I love high abv bangers, but they’re really not conducive to civilized living.

    They also have a blood orange IPA on. Haven’t tried it.

    Crowlers of Shamrock Stout at Fulton tomorrow, and I think their milkshake ipa (last palate), too. Apricot foeder over there, as well. Super tart and refreshing.

    Thanks for the heads-up, this is right up my alley! Good thing I practiced with 2 bottles of BCBS last weekend.

    Crowlers are ~$24, one per person. That said, place is packed and lots of people are drinking 312, so easy to make friends to get extras.

    Lost palate was ok - I’m a little stuffy, though, so my palate may also be lost.

    Lost Palate Has kicked. Just realized it’s not on.

    Not sure how I feel about shamrock stout. It’s freaking delicious, but definitely not a mint beee. Mint VERY subtle. Vanilla and chocolate make it dope though.

    Also. It’s BCS, so of course it’s awesome, and at $24/Crowler, that’s cheaper than the old bomber variants.
