Very heave on the IPA side.

The Answer Brewpub had Goose Island BB Stout on tap on Black Friday.

If I remember correctly Da'Shawn Hand eliminated us (and picked Alabama) for the education. It's hard to turn down people that are trying to give you so much, so I get the idea that you need to give an excuse. However, they could probably plan the excuses better ahead of time haha.

We were pretty rowdy. Penny locking doors, dust pans at the base of the door and peeing into one's room, running by and hitting people sitting by open doors with flour bombs, and more. There were a bunch more, but I feel like this was already enough...

I have a couple of 120s hanging in the cellar right now, I believe they are from 2012. I know a lot of people would be shocked keeping a IPA around like that, but they should age well.

I've got a bunch of Belgians too, love aging anything with Bretts (just bought a Regalia today) to see how they play down the road.

The brewery bubble continues to expand, so definitely see more opening and others getting bigger. Per my other comment, I'm working with two right now doing that same thing.

Have you tried a Heady Topper yet?

All this talk makes me thirsty.

I think the new craft beer movement is heavy on the IPA side, however there are a lot of great beer styles out there. One of my favorite breweries right now is Right Proper in Shaw. They play around with a bunch of the styles and aren't scared to make a beer under 3% ABV. They have also done some great collaborations with brewers such as Megan Parisi that were definitely unique (like adding juniper branches and what not).

Let me know if you want to go tasting sometime, maybe I can help with the palate?

Yup that is the place. I'm still working on the Sorrell Design site. Been a bit busy. Met with a brewer today who is looking to open a place in this area (he has had some homebrew stuff go to nationals and his stuff is pretty solid) and will be meeting another brewery next week that is expanding.

While I was attending VHCC we voted for the first mascot of the school. Hellbenders won by a landslide, but a couple stuck up faculty members shot it down after it won on the ballot. Complete bullshit. They lied to the students and told them Wolves won.

For those that don't know... Hellbenders are the largest salamanders in North America. They occur in rivers around SWVA.
