    I mean if 16oz of 10% knocks you out I cant imagine you'd make it past hour one at a share. Im sure we could find a thimble for you to sample out of though. :wink:

    The 10th happens to be my birthday, so I'm a maybe. If I do make it, I might bring a "special occasion" beer. I would need to claim the right of First Pour though.

    Happy early birthday! Special beers for everyone!!!!! I think you have to come now. We will sing and everything.

    Edit: the best part of me double-posting is I had no recollection about making the Dark Lord post 2 minutes ago. Yep.

    Based on your posts about DLD and some of your others, I HAVE to hang out with you at DLD just to see what transpires. The times we've met up, I've never seen the "is this guy on acid" side of you...and I NEED to see that side.

    Question about the share. I have a couple cans of a NEIPA from Revision Brewing (https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/48813/332233/) from my last trip out west. They're dated 3/7/18, are they worth bringing? I have no idea how much these kinds of beers fall off after a month, as I have very little self-control (and little experience going to beer shares).

    YES! I'm hoping to score some Revision when I'm out there, but not hopeful. They fly off shelves apparently and distribution got a bit more sporadic from what I've heard. There should be nothing wrong with a 4 week old beer.

    I've gone ahead and added Chris_H_2 to the 4/10 bottle share, he will be bringing a load of spite....

    Have you guys noticed any issues with the Toro cans? First one I had was awesome and drinking one now that seems completely different from the first one. Even the color has somehow changed drastically. ‍♂️

    My Toro cans were good but this Batch of Ghost Tropic is so incredible. Thanks again @flat_lander for grabbing me a 4pk

    Mine were no bueno. If you read back over the last few pages you'll see several other people with the same issues.

    Glad you like @Jinx989 ! I was thrilled to be able to still grab some, and always happy to help out another friendly BA when I can. And I agree with others, this batch is as good or better than the previous canning run of GT. Love this beer.
