    I got a draft on Saturday so I might join the party later on. I'm going with the challenge beer I have left from @beatjunkee for sure... then not sure what else..

    Not even close. Let me consult my counsel @Syracuse12.

    I threw up some ideas a while back. It seemed like the consensus was to have a couple "times" that people could #vbs certain styles and then maybe coordinate one big #vbs for the anny. I also threw up the idea of choosing your best bottle in the cellar to do the VBS to or the highest "rated". I'm game for whatever and will do my best to participate. Throwing out an idea for Saturday that can be tinkered with:

    Morning toast at 11am? Maybe a breakfast stout or something who can/want

    4:20pm hops?

    7 o/clock - Locals toast

    8pm Anny Toast - drink your best beer, favorite, a beer you received from the first round you participated in, or whatever

    More?

    Non-adjusting for different time zones, presumably. 8am beers sound fun on the left coast. As good a plan as we have.

    I am working from 9-10 then have a Diabetes workshop to chair until 11:30 or so followed by a soccer game so I'll miss the morning one but I hope some people jump in! Living in the EST makes for forget you left coasters @BartS but I like your style!

    Those were just ideas and not the gospel BTW. I'm getting pizzas and hanging with friends Saturday so I could be DUBE loose for the Anny.

    Here is a little reminder @sembo if you have any of that laying around to raise up in the air on Saturday.

    I'm lucky enough to have some fresh brew from @Steban but I just may have that original Bomb, MZ or GGourd - need to check. Anyway, I'll raise something!

    Just got home from work and thought I might be victim to some of these Locals shenanigans.

    According to the label, though, it's just a shipment of KY Jelly. WHEW!

    So you're doing a Chocolate Rain vertical tasting? Should be perfect for the toast!

    So I get home today from work, hoping to see that my package I sent myself from CO was unmolested (which it was perfect), only to find 3 other boxes that I wasn't expecting. Since the wife is basically starting her own business in a week, I figured it was her's, until I looked at the labels.

    A straight-up, killing of my porch from some asshat named @_RL_
    that will get my repair bill for said porch.

    First up is the biggest guys:

    [​IMG]

    Ocelot - Three Lovers
    Ocelot - Vacant Stares
    Ocelot - Buddhist Prodigy
    Ocelot - Raised on Promises
    Ocelot - Seamless
    Ocelot - Day After Day

    Next, the big guys:

    [​IMG]

    The Bruery - Chocolate Rain
    The Bruery - Black Tuesday
    The Bruery Mocha Wednesday
    Russian River - Consecration
    Ocelot - My Only Friend

    And last but not least, the small(est) guys:

    [​IMG]

    The Veil - Lord Lord Shredder Shredder
    3 Stars - Ultra Fresh

    And the family shot:

    All are new ticks and if they aren't obvious wants, I can't wait to try them.

    And with my previous post loaded, the winner of my dumb little contest should feel free to disregard my request for a return-fire package, I now have plenty of awesomeness (as if I don't have enough I'm sitting on) to hold me over, forever.

    Also, I will extend this through Sunday night for anyone else who hasn't seen it, so watch out for a notification so I can get this box out ASAP.

    @KyleDavis is guilty. All other locals are innocent.

    Just trying to figure out who this @hardysf is that @Elkevjoe keeps praying too looking for guidance. He just doesn't seem to be around much in spite of all the calls for help. I think I might be looking for new representation.
