I'm going to brag

[Heavywalker]

Let my boss take home a six pack of an IPA. Very nervous about it cause he is a bit of a beer snob, most of the commercial IPA's that I really enjoy and have recommended to him he hasn't really liked, but got this email from him yesterday.

Feels good to get some positive feedback.



Hey,

The beer is awesome!! Absolutely superb! Perfect in every way.

Excellent job. Holy crap, you nailed it.

Thanks!

Nice work man. But it is a HBT rule that bragging must come with a recipe.... Or we will have to flag this post.....
