  This was discussed not too long ago, not sure if anyone tried it yet.

  Just remembered. my sister in law got a set of Grey Goose glasses last weekend that someone had done this to. They were pretty nice glasses.

  Having another Hopslam(s) tonight. That takes US down to a sixer left...and it's getting harder to find.
  
  Interesting note on Hopslam. There are 2 different bottling dates. 12/27/13 and 1/11/14. And I noticed the Dec has a sweeter finish than the Jan with has more hops in the finish.

  Disapointed in these 21st Amendment He Saids. The porter is better than the tripel, neither are impressive.

  Yeah both were bad IMO. Less than impressed with most of 21st Amendment brews after I learn they contract brew in Minnesota. When I was in Ohio I could find 9 day old IPA from them, but never see less than 2 month old 6ers sitting on the shelves around here, WHERE THEY CLAIM TO BE FROM.

  Got a 4 pack of Listermann Nutcase Porter and a 4 pack of Listermann Cincinnatus (two 2012 brews and two 2013 brews) today.
  
  I really like their stuff.

  i went to beerfest last friday at the convention center and got the free upgrade ticket for the 8 oz glass. basically as much beer as you can drink from 630-1045. Mostly all ohio and midwest beers over 300 to choose from. I probably tried about 75 of them. awesome time i will do again

  Really enjoyed the Red Chair last time I had it.
• sportchampps

  Gblock I did beer fest as well. Did you try the KCCO beer that Red Hook secretly had bottles of. It was different the. Most black lagers I've ever had with a real coffee taste to it. I still enjoyed Jackie Os and three Floyd's the best.

  Enjoying my homebrew today, bottled about 3 weeks ago. Saison yeast, warrior, nelson sauvin and motueka hops. Very enjoyable.

  Got a growler of Columbus Brewery Bodhi DIPA. Pretty cheap (8.99) and had awesome reviews on beer advocate.

  My Giant Eagle had a fuckload of Black Butte, Red Chair, Mirror Pond, and Inversion. Don't know about anywhere else. Of course that Giant Eagle still has shitloads of the $2.99 New Belgium bombers, they get all the new things but there's not a lot of people buying them so I get to enjoy them forever. Still can get all the Christmas ales I want.

  Picked up the last one at the store. They also have it on tap, so I have a growler full.

  Picked up sixers of Hopslam and Black Butte yesterday, really excited Deschutes has come to Ohio. I will say that as much as I like that craft beer is becoming popular, it kind of sucks too. A few years ago I could walk out of most beer stores around here with a case of Hopslam no problem, but yesterday the store I buy it from has a 1 six pack limit and was selling it from behind the counter.

  I tend to concur. I was just talking to a friend about the same thing. I remember a few years ago no one would pay $18.00 for a sixer of 'The Slam'. A few years back The Wife was shopping with her friend and he dared her to buy a case of Hopslam. There was a crowd around it and everyone was talking about the price of it. She walked forward, grabbed a case, then the crowd applauded. I should note Hopslam is one of her favorite beers so no dare was needed.
  
  On the other hand I have met some great people both online and at different events due to craft beer. It's nice that it is more of a movement. There is so much fellowship, cooperation, and collaboration in the craft beer breweries that I've never seen in any industry. That is a great thing and promotes happiness and good beer.

  Love having a pint while shopping. Having a Black Butte at the Jungle. A growler of it will be going home with me. Such a smooth mouthfeel and a bright finish for a porter.
