    Damn @Louis121, talk about knocking it out of the park!

    [​IMG]
    Solemn Oath/Bruery Conquest - A Tripel that I'd never heard from a brewery I've never heard of? Yes please!
    Pipeworks The Revival - Elijah Craig Aged Wheatwine? Yeah, that sounds pretty damned interesting!
    BCBS - Managed to get a couple this year even though I was nowhere near a beer store on Black Friday. Always happy to have one more!
    Surly Abrasive - Love this beer. Have a couple from this year that I picked up in Milwaukee, but again, who can have too much Abrasive?
    FFF Dark Lord - Really? Really? I've had a taster of a variant at @Kramerbarthomer's house at GABF, but never had the base and have never had a bottle all my own (though there's no way I'd drink this by myself and not bring it to a share).
    Revolution Deth's Tar - I love this beer. Like, I think I might want to marry it? I'm going to a Star Wars marathon at a friend's place on Saturday; you can guarantee that this is getting cracked open. I have been very lucky to have three of these bottles (one I drank a yearish ago, one I have had in my cellar for a little bit, and this one). Other's need the love of this bottle, so one is going into the LIF I'm getting ready to run.

    Seriously man, this box is friggin' awesome!

    Alright all, I feel like I owe a LIF. Normally I stay on top of cataloging my beer into my cellar spreadsheet. However, the last couple weeks I've been busy as hell and haven't done it (since at least Halloween). On top of that, there's been a ton of beer releases around me lately. I'll be updating my cellar next weekend hopefully after one or two more releases drop.

    The person that guesses the number of bottles closest to the number that I actually need to put into my spreadsheet (the number of bottles, not just the number of different beers), will get a box of pretty much every beer that I've picked up more than one of recently (which is most of them), plus the Deth's Tar mentioned above. Tie breaker will be the brewery I have the second most bottles to add to my spreadsheet.

    Hints:
    1) I have 4 releases from a single brewery
    2) There are at least 4 breweries represented
    3) I've been purchasing close to the max I can since I do love to have local beer to send out to Locals

    Hole.E.Shit is right. In one of my leagues I needed a backup for Gronk since he's almost certainly out this week so pulled Richard Rodgers off the FA list. When I last checked before boarding my flight home both he and Cobb (also on my team) were stinking it up. I'll certainly take 30 points from the two of them!

    You know, I checked into two different ones, and I kind of thought there were two different ones... but I also thought that I left that night pretty drunk and wasn't certain.

    So I came out to Cali for business and found out that my buddy @UcDru was also going to be out here. We got some info that Toronado had some good bottles available. Then this happened...

    Drew and his buddy Pete are maniacs!


    I also got to tick another great handshake from @andreizm and he is a great guy. And he will fit in nicely with this group. He dropped a Rare Barrel Home Sour Home and Cellarman Saison on me! Awesome time hanging out.

    Sorry no pics, 6 am flight interfering with my posts.

    Everyone- I fucked up and credited the wrong person for an awesome box that @core42 sent me. We have no gotten so big that we now have more than one person living in each town. My apologies to Jeff - he was the one who decided to unleash Odd Side Ales destruction on me. Thank you very much sir.

    Jeff: that'll be Number 4's, 12" O.C. now.

    Now one of you are going to need to move because I don't think this group is sober enough to to distinguish from the Two Mad Porch Bombers of Portage.

    I've not experienced the sourness with the CBB beers, but I have heard of it. Honestly, I think it's probably that they aren't the most proficient with their bottling program. But, they seemed to have improved greatly and I know they'll be opening a pretty large production site in Georgetown in the next year or so.
