Possibly that batch, or the recipe could have been changed over time. But got a couple cases of
it for free this past weekend, and it is DELICIOUS. About 100 or 150 other industry folks at a

You're the brewer, why are you blaming your friend?I suppose because I was forced to leave and
left him in charge and he happily agreed to follow my directions, and then didn't. . .??? It
