Nice! Thanks for the run-down. Sounds like a place I should swing by on my next trip to the Gulf Coast. 32oz. bottles? Whoa...that's a healthy take out size. Bigger than a bomber, but not quite a growler.

My first "holiday" post-baby and it's a good one! I'll be doing a lot of visiting this weekend, so I'm not sure I'll be able to drink anything super special, but if anyone has any suggestions for beers that will travel to parents/in-laws well, let me know! Drink whatever you want, Daddy!

How about GROUP TRIP...there's a nice establishment nearby named "Mos Venus." Perhaps you've heard of it? :thumbs:

Can't believe I'd never heard of this place before: Cigar City Brewing They seem to be getting a little press on the beer blogs, and they also have their own blog site. Most appropriately named are the Maduro Brown Ale and the "Humidor/Wood Aged Series."

Drank a Ballast Point Sculpin IPA yesterday, and will follow it up with a Dorado DIPA today. I'll post pics and reviews when I have them collected!

Is anyone else a little gunshy to shell out the kind of $$$ Tomme's asking for this considering all the QA/PR issues they've been having lately?

Let me know next time you want to make the trip and we can carpool! There's also Bass Pro Shops out in Harrisburg which isn't too far of a drive, either.

OOOOhhhh...must try this one. Will trade with any west coast brothers who can get their hands on this and need something from my neck of the woods. Sounds great and hoppy fresh, and will probably get nice and malty over time.

Well, you know what they say: "With a boy you only have to worry about one penis; with a girl you have to worry about all of them." Guess I have my work cut out for me. :laugh:

Dunno about you, but I'm planning on sleeping on Jonas' couch! :thumbs:

Let's not forget that half of last year's batch were infected--carbonated or not. I have one that I'm afraid to open.

I'm in! I'll bring some 90 Minute and we can make the 105 Minute concoction for Cali Mike. Congrats to your Nuggies, BTW!

Pu$$y :sign:

Touché!

Alright, left coasters, I'm ISO some Deschutes goodness: Hop Henge Experimental IPA Mirror Mirror Barleywine Red Chair IPA I have all the usual East Coast/SEPA suspects, including some quickly-disappearing Nugget Nectar. Also have Troegs new Flying Mouflan barleywine and Victory Wild Devil...

The 75 minute is a cask- (or keg) mixed combination of 60 and 90 minute. It is not bottled.

Steve Sabol from NFL Films was on WIP today (lest we forget he was the voice of NFL Films since 1975), and he indicated that "despite all of those Parliament cigarettes, Ashton cigars and Gin & Tonics, Harry's voice never lost that golden tone..."
