    Very impressive accomplishment for someone that uses Mr Smithers for an avatar!

    Also, Schmaltz Brewery is killing it in NY. Who knew? I used to see their 6 month old bombers on the shelf here, but haven't seen them for quite a while.

    Thanks @VikeMan. Congrats also to @TheHumanTorch who won a Gold medal with North Brewery for their God Complex Stout. I also tried their Sunday stout and it was freaking ridiculous. Congrats Kyle, nice meeting you!

    That's Mr. Burns, not Smithers. Release the hounds.
