The VA haul

If you're a fellow chatter, you should know about my discontempt for TN liquor laws (i.e., can't sell anything > 6.0% abv unless in a liquor store, so selection is mediocre).

$210 later, this is the final haul. I apologize for lack of pictures, but the wife has the digital camera while she's back in her homeland of England.

Lucky....

Looks like you've got some drinking to do.

Nice haul...from the sounds of things, you better make it last!

Mercy...
Have fun.

Hmm, I didn't realize Ommegang put out those seasonal brews. Impressions of those would be greatly appreciated when you get to it .

The Chocolate Indulgence was great, but nothing spectacular. I didn't get much chocolate-ness out of it, but it was still solid. The Ommegeddon will go in the cellar for about a year.

So, when do I get to come over and help you drink, er, taste some of these? j/k

I think you forgot about 9 or so bottles on that list...

Shhhh! Just kidding, Evan! was awesome as I have pointed out in another thread. I think he gave me one beer from everything he currently has bottled right now including the Meph clone which I'll sit on for a while.

Where did you come to in Virginia? I am just across the state line on I-81. I know of a few good places locally, but am curious where you picked up some of those.

I got some at a store in Fredericksburg called Kybecca and the rest here in Charlottesville, thanks to Evan!. Tennessee is getting better, but there's a weird 6% law that requires anything that abv and above to be sold in liquor stores, and because of overhead/etc, not many do.
