Nice, Kristin. One of the ones I need to try! Grabbed a few more bottles today, including some pumpkin beers.

When is the official tasting? Saturday?

I picked up a few bottles. I hope someone likes them. See y'all tomorrow.

stearns · 08-15-2012, 10:11 PM

i was thinking friday afternoon, perhaps finishing around dinner time, or beginning shortly after dinner. thoughts?

Ender · 08-15-2012, 10:21 PM

My vote for after dinner.

GreekGodX · 08-15-2012, 11:08 PM

Yeah I don't see us being able to get through all this beer awesomeness in one sitting.

pnutbutrsangwich · 08-16-2012, 07:31 AM

As long I have some food in my belly (which doesn't sound like will be a problem) then I am up for it....I don't plan to get like Devan drunk though

You guys did an amazing job. From a true Neophytes prospective, there were some damn tasty beers. Think I may go hunting, and see if I can't find some of the easier to find beers.

OLS · 08-20-2012, 08:25 AM

Wow, I got so hammered one half ounce at a time! I had a great weekend with my fellow
Shackers. I enjoyed every beer except one of the ones I brought which was just awful.
That Cherry item was the bee's knees fo sho. I also loved Kristen's soy sauce and The
Dark Lord from I am guessing Hootie and the CBS from Ben. All the other beers were great
but I just fell down by not pre-tasting that Abita and realizing how awful it was. It could
have also been a bad bottle, but I see people hammering it here and there, so I doubt it.
Beer kept coming from places I never saw it coming. Saturday Stearns made the error
of letting me have some of his various bottles he would open, and we were paired
together in the tourney, and I suck at that game to begin with. LOTS OF MOJITOS, too,
I think we should have a tasting of those next year...."This one tastes just like the last
one....but who cares", lol.

you are mistaken brad, if they were my cbs i would have found a cave somewhere and sipped the whole damn bottle to myself one one ounce pour at a time. it was a couple of the more selfless brothers that contributed those. thank you to everyone for bringing some good bottles, definitely doesn't make my "what should i try to find next" list any easier to tackle

IBQTEE1 · 08-20-2012, 09:48 AM

Wow, an amazing beer tasting again. Thank you everyone for letting me sample your beers. My 2012 Dark Lord was amazing after being open for a half hour and warmer. Thanks Hootie for finding it.

Until next year boys!!

Ender · 08-20-2012, 05:31 PM

Man, I really enjoyed the beer tasting. Great group of people around the table for sure. So, I guess Christos and I will have to camp out again if Founders releases CBS again. We were near the door in a line of 100's. Glad it was enjoyed.
