    (PS...I may not be right about the beer but I can tell you where you went to school, how old you are, at least one other town you've lived in, what you look like, who you went snowboarding with when you were ambushed by moose, all the great beer you bought on ebay, and I'm pretty sure I know where you get your hair cut.) Great LIF...Thanks!

    We've got a winner!!!

    Gpawned you are kind of a creep- looked up my facebook to find out my hometown (that definitely was not my intention in starting this LIF) and made it a lot easier. Anyways I grew up in a small town called Rehoboth, MA which pretty much no one has heard of including most people from MA. A lot of times when I tell people my town they say "oh like Rehoboth Beach, DE" or "oh so you live by the beach"- in which I say no that's a different Rehoboth.

    My first experience that got me turned on to craft beer was a couple years ago not too long after I turned 21. My roommate and I at the time were at the bottle store and he said he heard of a brewery that was supposed to be really good named DogFish Head. He bought a 4-pack of Palo Santo Marron and I bought a 4-pack of 90-minute. Both beers were unlike anything I ever had before that point and quickly turned me on to craft beer. For awhile DFH was my favorite brewery and I purposely made 90-minute the first beer I reviewed on this site.

    Thanks everyone who participated and Congratulations to RochesterAaron! He will be getting the following:
    1 Hoponius Union
    1 Ginger & Juice
    1 Brett Biere de Garde (limited Biere de Garde aged in wine barrels with Brett for 3-months)
    Hope you enjoy!

    I'll be running more LIFs in the future and I hope they run a little bit smoother and last a little bit longer. Cheers!

    I admit that I did quite a bit of internet creeping last night. Sorry bout that. I did find your Facebook page near the end of my search hoping to find your first DFH beer but you don't have your Hometown visible on Facebook. I had to find that elsewhere. I guessed Burton Baton because you added that to your "Hads" 3 days before you reviewed 90 min. Also, you gave Burton a higher score and you had a few other reviews the day before the 90 min (but I figured maybe you didn't do a review for Burton because you had it before you joined BA and maybe the review notes just weren't fresh in your head.)

    Anyway, congrats to RochesterAaron and thanks again for the LIF!

    PS. Those moose photos were badass.

    I can't believe you spent that much time looking up info just for a LIF. I'll just have to be more careful for my next LIF. I haven't had Burton Baton since I joined the site but I definitely had it after 90 which I had for the first time 2 years ago. I've had 90 minute more times then I can possibly count (it's the beer my Aunt always buys for the holidays). Looking back at my old review I think I will need to re-review it- my palate has developed significantly since then and I gave it way too high of a rating (I think I might have been a little bit biased towards it). Now that I've had plenty of other even more awesome beers, it is definitely no longer a favorite but still an occassional good go to.

    You must have been digging really deep to find those moose pics. Those were from 3 years ago- almost ran into a mother and two babies as I was turning a corner snowboarding in northern New Hampshire.

    Wait.. what... I need a new family.

    Thanks again to Jaasen64 for a great LIF and I'm looking to sharing that awesome box with some friends.

    I'm going to be starting a few LIFs this summer still. (Also my wife and I just got home from Vermont last night and she is pissed that she didn't get to see a moose).
