    It really was quite good, albeit rather messy.
    Also, the pickle fries were an excellent side.

    Incidentally, the beer accompanying the Seattle Dog was a Swap Meet, from Humble Abode. It comes in somewhere between Hazy and Joocy.
    Will my target be getting one? Or perhaps something else from the same brewery?
    Hmmm.

    Now, just the torture of not knowing my sender.

    no doubt.
    We won't be heading that way until autumn or so, but will be out there about a year and will keep you posted either way!!

    We've already got our housing accomodations sorted, but thanks anyway

    I'm available most weekends, including with little notice. I do have some plans scattered throughout the Spring, but if I don't have anything locked in, it's only an hour away.

    Actually, my partner and I will be at Armsby Abbey on April 22nd, as we're going to see Whitechapel that evening at The Palladium.

    So there's my formal invite: any of youse (did I do that right?) want to meet up at Armsby in 13 days? :grinning:

    (Edit: if not, I expect to be back in June, as well. May is questionable, as that's when I get my surgery.)

    Id be up for a meetup at some point. But would also need more lead time. My youngest daughter is gonna have soccer games most weekends, so need to plan around those a bit. this weekend was just overbooked with trying to checklist stuff for the spring.

    Would be glad to have pints somewhere sometime!

    Hint #6

    My target does not reside in the southern colonies, but that should be apparent from Hint #4.3 as well. (Post 379).

    Don't worry, there will be another river hint coming, if that helps.

    65 ratings/reviews added over the weekend, lead by yours truly with 13 (I decided to try leaving ratings for new beers when I'm not in a situation to review them, and Easter with the in-laws is a busy day for that kind of thing). @budsNpils, @ovaltine, @woemad each provided 6.

    Mysteriously, @colts9016 seems to have lost one rating/review over the weekend, which I don't know how to process. If he can't explain it, I might be able to identify it on my own, but it's not an easy process.

    Hope y'all had a good Easter weekend!

    Oh nevermind, don't worry @colts9016, nothing weird happened. I had two records of this review for some reason:
    2023-02-28: @colts9016 reviewed Bruery Terreux - Small Batch Hoarders: Tart Of Darkness - Cherry And Coconut, from California, rating it 4 (rDev=-2.9%)

    I had a 7th just didn't picture it like a dummy. Was drinking with a buddy and he split it with me. Haven't put my rating in on it yet but it will be favorable.

    Nice, I haven't had any of their anniversary ales for a while, but my memory of them is pretty positive

    In case you can't tell, I'm a huge fan of those beers, and find most of them super, super impressive. :slight_smile:
