    Have any other BAs had a beer tasting that ended up with everyone going to jail? Because we may be breaking new ground here!

    I will neither confirm, nor deny, that this is the correct answer. I will say it's an odd variant of a classic style. I like it, I think it's a fantastic beer, but that may or may not be the case with everyone else.

    Looks like I'll be in attendance tomorrow. I'm not very active on here, but I believe I've met a few of you at past Jackie O's releases. I'm thinking of bringing a Funkwerks Dark Prophet or Tropic King and probably one other. Looking forward to it!
    Cheers!

    Are you saying that we're all invited to a pants party?

    And here I was planning on no pants at all...

    Good hanging out and drinking with you all!

    Here's the damage:

    Also, it'd be awesome if people could tell me who you are so we can put a face to a username. Just so you know who I am, I'm Max (obviously), I'm the one that brought the Vanilla Dark Lord and the Roosevelt.

    Thanks for bringing that Dark Lord, it's certainly far better than the regular Dark Lord, gives me hope that they might make a base batch that doesn't suck.

    I'm Kef, and I brought the Charkoota, homebrewed IPA, and Sucaba.

    And honestly, the biggest surprises to me were the Colossus and the Daisy Cutter. That's not a pale ale, just saying.

    Thank you to everyone for sharing what you did, certainly the Vanilla Dark Lord was most appreciated. I was very impressed by the homebrews, good work gentleman.

    I brought the Parabola, Daisy Cutter, and the Zombie Dust.
    It was a treat to meet everyone. I look forward to the next one, with hopefully less Ghost Chili beers.

    I was the last one out last night and there were a few things left behind...

    LOST:

    Someone left their Alefest glass on the store table near the window.

    There was a black cooler (soft) bag that was left against the shelves/wall. Inside was a bottle of beer. We really wanted to drink this upon seeing it, but I decided that the owner might never return to another tasting if we did! :wink:

    In any case, I left both with the store. I hope the owners see this if they haven't already realized what was left behind. Unclaimed items will be split between Jaimie and myself two weeks from now! J/k...




    maybe...

    Lol, yes I was the brilliant one who left the cooler. I already got it earlier today. Im sure Kevin's glad you didn't drink his bottle (brought it for a trade). I had a great time and it was nice to put some faces to local BAs. Maybe next time I will bring the mystery beer to share since you graciously didn't give into temptation. -Andy (red osu cap)

    Yeah we saw "STAFF Evelyn" and about shit our pants that it was left behind. Brad gave me a taste of that beer out of the barrel last summer and it was shaping up to be something special.

    Glad the beer's back in good hands though!

    Thanks for the kind words. I've already come to a conclusion that I'm going to rebrew the IPA, as I love how it turned out.

    I'm going to reiterate this, but Daisy Cutter is NOT a pale ale. I don't care what Half Acre says, it's a damn IPA :stuck_out_tongue:

    Everything should have waited after the scorpion. Sadly Seth doesn't do BA anymore so we can't publicly rip on him for opening that blasphemous beer so early on in the day.

    Graves here. I was in the yellow South Africa soccer jersey with the Cigar City Dos Costas Oeste. Thanks everyone for such generosity. I had a great time. I look forward to seeing some of you fine gentlemen down in Athens on the 30th for OH Beer Week shenanigans.

    Oh, we could, he just couldn't defend himself. I think everyone who had that beer would relish the opportunity to damn him to the deepest circle of hell for the hell that beer caused their palates.

    BTW - anyone who's into this sort of thing, please check out my home brewery pages. I'm on Facebook (please like) and Untapped (check in a beer - ratings entirely optional). It's just me trying to play around with branding myself a bit.

    I had Kolsch, IPA, Mild, and Galaxy Pale at the tasting.

    My home-brewery name is Blind Pirate Brewing.
