    I forgot one thing. I also will add beers at a brewery even if Im not drinking them.
    A database is only as good as its data, so i figure it makes sense to update as possible, even without a review.
    Someone else can more easily find the beer then and do a review, or at least have a better sense of the range for a brewery.
    Is it an IPA factory or some place with a little more diversity.

    You’re not alone, I am posting from my phone right now, but I will admit to preferring the PC.

    So do I.

    In my case, I'm one of a very few BAs in my city, and am almost certainly the only one that pops in every day. As practically the only active BA in and around Spokane, if I don't post those beers, no one else will. And if I'm shipping local beers for this BIF, it's kinda nice for whoever gets them to be able to find them!

    Incidentally, for the purposes of whatever graph @snaotheus is no doubt building from this exchange, I am a few months past 50 and I've accepted typing on my phone as the price of doing business, but I don't love it. As for adding photos, I have been wholly unsuccessful in my attempts to do so and have pretty much given up on it, although I'd love to do it if it were an easier process that doesn't give me a case of temporary Tourette's.

    It's entirely possible you'll soon be receiving at least one more from Grape Lotion.

    I've got an idea about doing something with mystery beer labels, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get it done before I have to launch box number one. Maybe there won't be a mystery beer in that box.

    Ah, but I'm not on a laptop. 98% of my BA activity is at home, and therefore on my desktop PC - where I also have news, sports, live TV, music, games, and any combination of the above.

    I would not bother to bring a laptop around with me just to avoid using my phone for BA. If I'm traveling, it becomes more of a 50/50 split, basically depending on whether I consider using my phone more or less of a hassle than going to wherever my laptop is and turning it on. Usually in that case, yeah, I'll stick with my phone.

    Re: phone versus computer, it's also worth noting that in the sandwich delivery business, I do not ever have my phone accessible at work - ever. So if I'm going to BA from work (pretty rare, but I might do so for the sake of updating this thread, for example), it is by definition via computer - but I'm also not reviewing beers then.

    I have been hit!! A fantastic box from @Rug has landed on my porch.

    [​IMG]
    A great lineup of beers from Proclamation Ale Company and Origin Beer Project; coffee syrup from Rhode Island and a recipe for Rhode Island hot wieners; a mystery beer that Rug warned me might be a gusher and clearly gushed prior to making it to me; and (not pictured) a shirt from Origin Beer Project. All around great box - thank you Kyle!

    When I am at work I have to turn off my WiFi on my phone in order to post to the this site as it’s “beer” related. But not having my phone? That would be pretty tough. Sandwich delivery is rough business!

    Well done, @Rug!
    Impressive porch smashing.
    Genuinely intrigued by the coffee syrup. I didn't know that was a thing.
