    The only reason I signed up for twitter was this very reason. Lots of breweries, stores, brewpubs, etc. tweet out information regarding limited releases, events, new beers, etc. and it allows all the information to be in one stream which is nice.

    That's why i use it. It's way easier to manage than an email list.

    I have a pair of tickets to the 6pm tasting. I can no longer attend and am willing to sell them.

    Someone needs to buy Vav a beer unless there's more leaking barrels

    Pretty awesome event. 6 ridiculous beers, friendly people to chat with about the beers, and some tasty snacks. Oddly, Cherry Rye was the highlight for me. But maybe that's only because I've had the others. Tons of coffee taste on the coffee, and yes, a little spice at the end.
    I'd say both Vanilla and Rare benefit GREATLY from warming up a touch. Served super cold at 10 am, it takes away a lot of the flavors. So if any 6 o'clockers are reading this, let 'em warm up.

    All in all, another Goose win on Black Friday. Thanks!
