Poor college student here too. Just spend less on your other hobbies/brew your own beer.

I was just going to PM and ask you. That's a great one, totally forgot about it. My mom is coming in for the 4th and can't drink anything too hoppy or wheaty. (Inster SVF joke about my mom here)

Not a huge fan of the Heavy Seas. I haven't had that one though, so I'll be curious to hear your thoughts. The Plank 1 I had was very mediocre.

They've been hit-or-miss for me, but their IPA is drinkable. Not my favorite IPA, but I enjoy it.

I did like their Red Sky Night, but yeah, I heard bad things about Plank 1, so I haven't even tried it.

I've liked most of the Heavy Seas I've tried. Their chocolate stout is pretty good.

One I didn't like from them is the Peg Leg Stout. I actually dumped that beer out at a beer fest once. (First and only time I've ever done that)

Sorry. Was in the company of guests, and that would have been odd.

Come to Akron, and I'll make it up to you two by buying you each one round.

I'm now chasing it with leftover Ace of Spades champagne. Delicious. And there's enough left that I'm going to bed slightly schlitzed.

If so, come to the Lockview in Akron. You will NOT be sorry, and I'll buy.

Lockview has a slew of phenomenal beers, and not bad liquors either, if that's you're thing.

No one drinking tonight? I'm taking it easy because I'll be drinking all day tomorrow.
