    Damn... you know you're a HF homer when the thing I notice most out of that incredible lineup was the CD vert. So, how did they all stack up? I'm assuming CD2 was left out?

    so many highlights, but most of all just so much fun. some things that stick out in my mind as super awesome were:

    Lost Abbey: Cable Car 2012, 2008/2010/2012 Mother of All Storms/Storm Watcher side-by-side, Cantillon: Blabaer 2012, 2008 & 2010 Fou Foune, Southampton: Black Raspberry Lambic, 2008 & 2012 Olde Rabbits Foot, 2006 &2012 BA Speedway Stouts, the Uplands...and Double Black and Kate were cool but was pretty spent by then.

    it was pretty cool that the world didn't really end since i was in no shape to do any driving to try and hide from the apocalypse.

    wow, i literally just spit beer (brown sugga) across the room. i had totally forgotten about that part of the evening until you mentioned that. you gotta admit, sh*tting on a guys head in MMA would be great strategy!

    Last night with my cousins.

    2011 La Folie - Unique and amazing sour warhead assault.
    Harvest Dance - Best by 6/12, so a bit past, but 100% fine. Easy drinking and quite mellow.
    Ithaca Alphalpha batch E!019 - About 2.5 years since bottling, as far as I can tell. Tasted like a rabbit cage, but not in a bad way - very grassy and got a good amount of honey in the nose and taste.
    Bitter Monk - Smelled and tasted like a funky urine soaked bum, in that good/interesting way.
    Victory at Sea - World class indeed.
    Rye'd Da Lightning - Happy/lucky to have had this, sad to know I will never have it again.

    Yeah, last night was pretty fun. A nice start to the long Holiday weekend. Didn't have '02, but we got over it. Not a bad one in the batch.

    Couldn't agree more about the Rahr's Barreled Winter Warmer...the best beer I've had from Texas thusfar and a real treat from a brewery you don't hear much about in the beer geek world (and for good reason).
