Bought some different beers over the weekend. Rivertown Funk Vessel (sour). AleSmith My Bloody Valentine. 5 Rabbit Huittzi. Never had any of these. Anyone else had them?

Also got a bomber of Rivertown Ville De Rivere Geuze. Love this one.

Anyone else hear about the Hopslam controversy in Columbus ??? There's a story about it on reddit.

DPA is just "that beer" for me. I can go to it if I want several. I can drink it out of the can and not feel dirty. I can refrigerate it without worrying about it affecting the taste too much. And I don't have to hide it from any beer friends.

Honestly, this wouldn't be funnier if anyone else had said it. Reps.

Spending the next few days in central Illinois for some shows. Any recommendations on beers I should try to find that I can't get in Ohio?

Three Floyd's of course. They are hard to get in Ohio. Used to be easy to get back in 2005/2006 until they pulled out of Ohio.

I was able to score another 12 pack of Hopslam tonight. Went to my local side store, a Haji Mart, and grabbed a sixer. He gave me another sixer he had hidden. He hid some because people he never had seen before were buying them a case at a time. He held some back for his regulars. I'm guessing mine will be gone by tomorrow night. Cheers!!!

I wouldn't say it's can't miss, but Brickstone's APA won gold at the GABF ... should be able to find that around.
