My award for Totally Amazing Insurmountable Nomination of a TB'er (TAINT) ™ for the week:
barflybastard

This man among men of dad's managed to take not 1, not 2 but 3 young'uns to a brewery BY HIMSELF. I witnessed this in person last Saturday, and his Untapped told me this wasn't the only stop! Let's be honest here, I can barely tie my own shoes and the thought of taking my 2 yrs old son anywhere gives me hives. Bravo sir!

Lets not forget that barflybastard can be found solo doming digit abv stouts at 6:30 am. For some people, that's called St. Patrick's Day. For barflybastard, it's known as simply Monday morning.

Late on this--work has felt like three consecutive Mondays punching at groin level this week, but: haha to the mentions^.

My kiddos actually surprise me sometimes and behave for brief stints. The 18 month old is just happy to be out and about, soaks all that stimuli in as long as I ply him with milk regularly. Navigating the meals and ensuring the little guy naps can be difficult, but the stars aligned that day (thanks for saying "hi," sometimes I've my dad-blinders on in those situations; next time we'll have to clink glasses!). The other two have reached an age where iPads can provide an assist (though I have to keep deleting YouTube and adding educational apps to them). Wife was busy with work all day, and I was determined not to just sit in the house.

As to the early morning doming: that's usually the only time I'm ever alone (we'll there's the dog). But after squeezing in exercise and coffee, to have some time to myself for slowly working my way through a nice stout--that's the best there. Until those damn kids wake up.

Highlight of that day was the six year old setting up the chess board without help. I mean, the game that ensued with the four year old wasn’t remotely near the boundaries of the game we recognize as chess, but whatevs.

GRATITUDE RELEASE DAY IS COMING!
Gratitude Barleywine in waxed 22oz bottles, LIMITED EDITION Gratitude Barleywine in throwback paper overwrap waxed 750ml bottles, Barrel Aged Gratitude in 16oz cans...

We're working on the date, and we've got a LOT to finish up before then, so give us a sec and you'll be the first to know!

You forgot about the 2.5x multiplier because it's in a magnum
I don't know if you just pulled that number out of the air but it's pretty damn close haha ... Coffee BBVD 4packs (64oz) were $22 or ~$0.34/oz ... magnums (50.7oz) of Coffee BBVD were $40 or ~$0.79/oz ... so a 2.3x multiplier
 
anyone else going to the farmhouse to table beer dinner? i've really enjoyed all the oxbow beers i've had and the ticket price is about the same as buying 2 or 3 of their bottles alone so it seems like it might be worth it.

Yeah, I really like the few bottles of Oxbow I've had and the Ace Hotel would be a great venue. Does Dancing Gnome make a farmhouse style beer?

New beer for the event.

Id like to do the dinner but its that or the Hotel party. Shooting for hotel party.
 
Last weeks DG email had the following:

Farmhouse to Table - Ace Hotel Pittsburgh Sat. 3/3
A more intimate event, this will pair farmhouse beers with small plates from 5 breweries and 2 chefs. We're brewing up something special just for this event, but fear not, it will be canned and available on draft in the taproom as well.

IDK that they have said anything else about it.

Oxbow are one of my favorite breweries, but I wasn't too enamored with their selections for the event (except for Phosphorescence which is pretty killer).
