    Oh, dear. I had a blast, but my memory is super spotty. Flew in from San Diego Friday night and had a bottle share at the Hilton that night. CaptCleveland busted into one of our rooms when we were unpacking. Tried to get in touch with him later that night to join in, but to no avail. Was wired and also three hours behind and wound up staying up all night.

    Bad move.

    Got in line around 5:30 and started sharing and may have taken a quick catnap. Got in and one of the first beers handed my way was a Westy 12. At 7:45AM. Crazy generosity by an awesome fellow who opened it, took a pour and walked away. Immediately after that was a Bourbon County Cherry Rye. Insane. I hope my Alpines were enjoyed -- I feel like I am in debt to so many. Randy for his CO roadtrip brews. Finally chatting for real with Craig from Gainesville.

    Shout-outs to two fellow Upstaters whose names I don't remember -- Jared was one and the other had a sweet 'stache and was generous with his Flower Power.

    Should've gotten more sleep prior but still had an awesome time.

    Oh, and aepb1 is the man. That is all.

    I was the upstate new yorker with the cherry Rye and flower powers, among other bottles that I can't even remember. Your Alpines were some of my favorite of the day and it was a blast to set up camp with you guys.

    And as much as I had obliterated it he managed to take the cork apart piece by piece without letting a single shred get in. Dr. Woodchopper, Beer Surgeon.

    I tried to be a tough guy (and a dumbass) and leave without a jacket. My wife knew better but we were in a rush so she grabbed an extra jacket of hers. Between the fact that I was wearing a woman's jacket and a big lumberjack had to save my scrawny ass from my pathetic struggle to open a bottle of beer, I can definitively say my masculine pride took a terrible blow (which recovered mightily when woodchopper and crew opened up that barrel aged hi-fi. :slight_smile:)

    Hmm... I beleive the last question I asked him before we left for the airport was, "Do you need a corkscrew?"
    Woodchopper said, "Ahhh...who needs a corkscrew?!?"

    Had a killer time meeting those of you I met. I can't even remember who I did and didn't meet. All I know is that my Untappd records from last weekend were nuts. Great great time and I hope all of you out of staters enjoyed yourselves and had safe journeys home!

    That was me with the Westy and I'm glad you enjoyed it! We had a great time and enjoyed too many brews to list (or remember). And yes, Andy is the man!
