Sorry I blew up everyone's untappd today. One ounce tastings are ridiculous, but I got to try some amazing stuff.
Damn. I thought you were going for the brass ring of Sunday drinking. Either that or beer mile practice.

Bad news of the day: One ounce tastings. Good news of the day: One ounce tastings. That was potent stuff.

Very cool. I added several to my wish list.
Rule number one of a gunfight, bring a gun. Rule number two of a gunfight, bring friends with guns.
Smoky awesomeness: the Bruery, Smoking wood smoked imperial rye porter in rye barrels 2013; Brouwerij Hof Ten Dormaal, Belgian blond ale brew #7 aged in Ardbeg barrels. General awesomeness: Bourbon County, KBS, and WrigleyGirl.
Cranky's first post and he's bringing the heat. Well done.
(if it wasn't the first post wtf do I know. I'm just a slow asshole, who damn near shits himself during a half in a city that seems to be pure evil to my RA running companions).
Oh yeah and I am trying something new that was on sale for $5 at my local. Bersalis Triple. Damn fine Belgian.
I need that cause my back is sore from laying a new cork floor in the kids bathroom.
Cranky has been around for an eternity, just under the name yoderc. You might remember him from the Swamp. He posted a bit, but was called out because one day he had to do a run that he always did on that day of the week. He had no intention of adding miles. And it left him at 1999 miles.
Oh, and congrats on not actually shitting yourself, C-R. Every race completed without beshitting yourself is like a little victory.
True dat. I've not been that worried in a long time. It was as long as I could manage. Good lord that was close.

That's me, mainly remaining in the background. The beers I mentioned were just some highlights of this whiskey barrel aged beer festival. WrigleyGirl's Untapped activity reveals more. I also went to Stout Fest at Goose Island last month, but I'm not on Untapped and don't remember everything I tried there. Now on to Dark Lord Day next weekend.
And keeping with the spirit of the YTD mileage oddity I seem to be known for, I noticed that after yesterday's run, my YTD miles was 999.5.

You got DLD tix??? Wanna sell or trade out a bottle? Fuck.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

Ok. I recall yoder but not the Swamp BS. Cool you're here and damn, that's some fine beer tasting events.
I think those should get posted like a race.

I thought that you said DL was just "OK"? Or is it that you just can't help yourself?
Not at it at all.
Or is it that you just can't help yourself?
+1. Intervention time.
A bunch of guys that I was talking to last night all said that Dark Lord doesn't live up to the hype. That go for the bottle swap geekery.
MTA: My first two beers that I had yesterday? Rye on rye ale aged in rye whiskey barrels, and smoking wood smoked imperial rye porter in rye barrels. It just makes me all giddy saying all that aloud.
