    I just gotta tell you this old story...

    Over 20 years ago I got together with an old buddy from college - visited him in Northern Virginia. He had been overseas for a looong time and it was his first trip back home. We went out for breakfast and the place we went to had Taylor Pork Roll on the menu. He said out loud (in a Homer Simpson type voice): "Man, I haven't had Pork Roll in years!" I almost had to hand him a napkin to collect the drool coming out of his mouth. My 'cynical' response was something like: I am pretty sure it tastes just the same. He ordered a breakfast sandwich which featured Taylor Pork Roll. He ate it and by all appearances he enjoyed eating it but the level of 'enthusiasm' seemed to be less then when he was staring at the menu.

    Are you a Trekkie?

    Cheers!

    I think Spock’s quote also probably applies to most, if not all, hard to obtain beers on this site!

    I think I missed my chance at Epitome this year. I was going to do a delivery but it's gone from the site.

    I saw that too but I got some from Vine Republic so you might find some in stores. Last couple years it stuck around in stores for a bit. I don’t recall it selling out so fast at the brewery either.

    I tried my three usual spots Shoprite Little Falls, Gary's Wayne, and Bottle King Wayne and no luck. Maybe I'll try branching out a bit.

    I appreciate the IG post about Epitome Distro. I was able to get some at Gary's Wayne so I'm very happy.
