    Had a great time aside from misreading the rules about orange stickers v purple stickers...or should I say, I stopped reading the rules after purple stickers.
    Was great to finally put a face to the legend that is @BeerMeFitz
    The Perennial Sump de Vanilla was out of this world. I enjoyed the Mint Truffle Abduction a lot. Of course the HF Double Citra was fantastic and the Central Waters 2011 Y2K was delicious.
    Thank you Beer Temple and Chris for hosting such and amazing event!

    Thanks Chris for the great afternoon. The Vanilla Sump was something terrific. Judging by untappd checkins, it looks like Perennial premiered that at The Beer Temple today.

    Great toast to wrap it up. Keep doing what you're doing. Other bottle shops out there are playing checkers, you my friend are playing chess.

    New Belgium Blackberry Whisky Love best in show in my opinion.
    BA Vanilla Sump was fantastic.
    Mint Truffle Abduction was surprisingly good as I'm typically not a huge fan of the Abduction series.
    Prop. was fantastically coconuty.
    Double Citra was quite lovely as well!

    The wife and I also landed a bottle of Prop. and Cherry Rye which made the afternoon all the more enjoyable.

    Chris = Nailed it.

    Attendees were just right, pours were plentiful, Easter egg hunt was an awesome bonus, numerous awesome beers....and the bathroom line was never too deep.

    We all won tonight. Thank you!

    Chris throws a great party! Thanks to all the volunteers. Favs of the night for me:

    Vanilla Sump
    Blackberry Love
    Double Citra
    Goose Proprietors
    FW Agrestic

    I'm a big fan of both Pipeworks and 3 Floyd's DIPAs, but Hill Farmstead lived up to the hype. Agree with TinyPyramids that this beer was absolutely fantastic all around.


    Thanks again @quinnsi for putting on an awesome event!

    Absolutely not but it's better than looking at big bearded dudes all the time. I'm always there for the beer, the ladies (if any) are just a little bonus.

    The perfect sized tasting event. Got to try all 16 beers, didn't get drunk, and even messed around with the pours. Proprietors+bible belt was awesome. Not as good as prop on its own, but it was a neat experiment. Missed the more rare easter eggs, but we picked up FWXVII and Sucaba for a sum of $35 which is a great score for as far as I'm concerned.

    You did well Chris, don't change a thing if you decide to do this every year.

    Thought this was an amazing smooth run event with a fantastic tap list. Actually enjoyed that the list wasn't so long you had to choose which beers you weren't gonna get to try. Plenty of time to sample them all. I lucked out and scored a 750 of Iris in the easter egg hunt, at a great price too!
