Gaithersburg is closest, just off 270. You just missed the sweetest little warm front. I was all over M Street last night and wasn't cold at all.Quote:

Not sure how long I'll hold the Darkness........... :wait:
I'll get some Berserker and other Alaskan goodness headed your way soon.
Thanks again friend. :glug:
I may have been a little overkill on packing, but I was concerned about the bottles blowing up in the air and then leaking all over the box.Quote:

The Darkness is like powder skiing compared to regular skiing. It's still beer, but a whole different thing.
I look forward to the Alaskan goodness....it is not necessary, but I'll take it.
I gotta go buy some beer for the weekend......

I thought you wanted to stay friends. Friends don't let friends drink Grain Belt.Quote:

Looking forward to it! I am getting more than a little concerned about family coming in town for Thanksgiving however.Quote:

A friend brought one to a tasting as a joke and of course we drank it.
:lol:
I lock the cellar when I have a crowd like that over or I'm out of town for a bit. I came home after a week long trip once to find a $300 bottle of vintage port empty after my wife had some friends over. A "friend" went downstairs to get another bottle of wine and she didn't pay attention to what she brought back. :smack:Quote:

Thanks a lot....this worked out great.
Went browsing through the beer section looking for interesting singles, and picked a couple of winners.
Young's Double Chocolate Stout - was great!
Chimay Premiere Trappist Ale
My homebrewing career is coming along nicely as well :)
you too? mines actually had a couple of speed bumps. i lost my last two batches to contamination. which really pisses me off because i cleaned and sanitized everything very well, so i thought.Quote:

I tried to order a Smithwicks at an Irish pub. The guy wouldn't serve me till I said it right.Quote:
