    Fair enough. I went into my search for them this year, having very little experience in the past, expecting them to be similar to Sixpoint's Resin/Hi-Res; but with so many options, the flavor profiles could be more varied; like if Sixpoint did 15 versions of Hi Res with different hop varieties, only this would be all different breweries. Instead I got a range of "hoppy and tasty, but nothing above and beyond" down to "basically like an IPA, but vegetal and off-putting".

    Also, not that anyone's keeping score, but I forgot to mention Deschutes in my list of breweries above. Their wet hop beer, Hop Trip, falls right in with the others; and they certainly fit the profile of "I will go back to their beers over and over with no advance knowledge besides their name"

    If he doesn't send it to you, let me know and I'll send you one and punch him in the junk for being a slacker when I give it to him.

    I enjoy fermented beverages, provided they are produced using grain, hops, water, and yeast.

    Careful brother, us PA brethren are thick as thieves and don't take well to outside intimidation. Just ask @TastyDelicousness and @end_27!

    I'm sure it's not me, unless the challenges are punishment for most posts deleted.... but if it is, bring it on!

    Virginia Beach. How far is that from Richmond? Unfortunately I'm real busy once we get to VA, my cousin is getting married. If its not close I won't be able to hit it this trip.

    Not this time. We try to get to Maine every year or two, but we couldn't make it this year.

    @ThreeFishes. Jim, I think i have a couple of free beers at ccb. It was part of the whole "Lets try to break our website" thing. Anyway, as my trustee, I believe you can take them to the dome for me.
