    Dunno how it happened but I was never asked for a list of my beers for ABR and it's gone to print, so here's the goods:

    The wildest and most innovative selection of the fest. All at once or timed releases?

    I've got a four head jockey, so four on and then their backups. Stop early, stop often...

    excited to try more of your stuff Dave! Haven't had any outside of Metacabra. I've had several times @Happy Gnome and it was delish.

    Dave opened some of this when my group was at The Farm a couple of months ago. One of his regulars struck up a conversation with us and then begged Dave to open one up. First things firsts, THANK YOU DAVE.
    Folks, this is a must try... almost orange juice (pulp-free of course) consistency/color if I am thinking of the right beer. The grains of paradise really complements the fruitiness well; just perfectly melding flavors. Don't miss out.

    Does he have a heater out there for fall/winter visits? ;-) It's on my list of things to do....now that summer is slowing down, i think we should plan it.

    I won't be at ABR, unfortunately, but I'm planning to (finally) get out to the farm the following Saturday.

    For what it's worth, we'll be at Table 62 at ABR.
    And for those who can't/won't be able to make the fest, we'll be at the Ale Jail tonight (FRI 9/14) from 4-7 and I'll be pouring "Svengali," "SOB OMG!" and "Citra Single Hop Saison" - mmm, more beer...
