    I'm a lot closer now than I was two years ago, or even one. On the downslope of the arc for sure, but yeah, a decent ways to go until I achieve true freedom.

    As I’ve found over the last 3 years of working my way towards freedom, it’s an ebb and flow thing. As long as it’s following that downward portion of the arc you’ll get there eventually. I had a couple hundred bottles when I started, but now sit at cool 3 bottles that I’m holding on to.

    Super jelly. Are they the most horribly infected beers a man can find for chugging and sharing at DLD? They should be.

    I think 2020 will be the year for me... Then Rev drops Maple Deth for the Deepest Of The Woods 2020. Fuck. Wrong thread.

    SAD not to join my sister-en and brethren to enjoy the Kush of the Dirty Sailor today.
    That shit is dope. Hope this year's batch is just as good as I remember it...

    Cheers.

    Favorite batch yet.....tropical and somewhat pillowy but had a nice bite to let you know it's a beer and not some milkshake with lactose. Love HA IPAs. Cheers

    Seems they focused on their favorite hops from last years batch, it’s only three hops this time. It’s got a little more bitterness. Half acre is really hitting on their hazy beer lately. It’s huge aromatics, clean on the palette, and has some proper bitterness.

    Plenty of Orin variants at the Lincoln shop still.

    They were nice enough to give me a 2 pack with one of each.

    FYI: if you're ever in Santa Fe (NM), go straight to Dulce (bakery) and order the Cardamom Coffee Cake (if you're into that kind of thing); maybe my fave ever had. Wish I could teleport you some. Cheers, mate!

    Haha. Will do. I'm now racking my brain where to find a good piece of coffee cake in The Loop today...

    always liked that Toni Patisserie place, but that's just me (and from 2 years ago). Good luck hunting!
