Walked in to our local bottle shop this afternoon right as one of the distributors’ van was leaving. To my surprise, he had just dropped off a case of 120 Minute, so I picked up my first 4 pack. They had to bust the case open for me. Come on Saturday!!!

@McLoofus This is a pick of my oldest son when he was a toddler. Totally forgot we did this pic stitch several years ago. He’s 17 now. And not drunk. Nor and Uncle.

Having a real hard time figuring out what my favorite part of your post is.

Yes you are.

If they’re going to Corinth, they might as well come another hour this way and begin distributing in TN.

I’m coming your way in December. If you are still around and want anything from down here...let me know.

I’m not sure I want to bust my 120 seal today. May just stick with the lighter stuff.

I’m staying on the east side of town, real close to G town I think. I’m running the St Jude marathon.

Shoot me a PM with the deets.

Pure Tropics from Parish. Man is this good! Great grapefruit on the nose. Fantastic mouthfeel. Not too much carbonation. Mango. Lactose. Damn damn fine beer. Reminds me a bit of GITM two years ago, but better.

Rhinestone Life by Great Raft. A wheat IPA. Fantastic beer. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a wheat IPA before, but I’ll be back. Smooth and citrus as all get out.

Sounds sort of like Lagunitas Lil’ Sumpin’ Sumpin’. 

[ShocksMyBrain 9,362]

Speaking of Lagunitas, Citrusinensis fans take note. Packed with citrus and clean.

Stumbled upon this at a competitor, stocked up a bit.

Sorry for formatting. iPhone mess.

I can’t freaking believe Voodoo won a gold medal. Tin Roof brews some good beer. I guess I’ll need to revisit that one.

I’ve had their IPA and Bengal Amber. I don’t even think they’re in this market anymore. 

I find some of these GABF medal winners to be a reach at times FWIW. They had almost 400 entries to these particular styles.
